The additional air chamber member is fixed on an outer circumferential surface of a well portion of a rim. The additional air chamber member is provided with a communication hole communicating between the additional air chamber and the tire air chamber. The communication hole is disposed at a position shifted from a discharge port of an air valve for supplying air in the tire air chamber in a wheel circumferential direction and opened to the tire air chamber.

Abstract: A sub air chamber provided around outer circumferential surface of a well of a rim of a vehicle wheel includes an upper plate and a lower plate connected at edges thereof which are fitted into channels in first and second vertical wall surfaces formed on the rim. At least one of the upper plate and the bottom plate has orthogonally and diagonally aligned beads to vertical walls, extending in a circumferential direction of the wheel, supporting the sub air chamber, connecting parts locally connecting the upper plate and the bottom plate. The sub air chamber has a protruding part for communicating the sub air chamber with the tire air chamber and serves as a stopper of the sub air chamber.

Abstract: According to which a damper is operated before or after keying, one of two resonances is generated. A second waveform storage 18 storing original waveform data of a first resonance based on a music sound including an impact sound of keying according to a before-key-pressing pedaling, and a third waveform storage 19 storing original waveform data of a second resonance based on a music sound which does not include an impact sound of keying according to an after-key-pressing pedaling, are provided. A switch 20 is switched according to the state of the pedal at the time of key pressing to supply selected resonance waveform data to a resonance generating unit 16. The resonance signal outputted from the resonance generating unit 16 and a music sound signal of a direct sound of keying are added by an adder 24 and inputted into a sound system.

Abstract: Some of the repetitively generated impulse response signals are inverted for their polarities, and particular harmonics only are erased/attenuated. The rate of generating the impulse response signals remains constant or changes relative to the pitch, and the tones of the fixed formant type or the tones of the moving formant type are selected. Both ends of the impulse response signals are cut off, whereby the impulse response signals are superposed one upon the other in a decreased amount, and the amount of operation decreases. A plurality of impulse response signals are synthesized to generate impulse response signals different from the impulse response signals of before being synthesized. The rate of generating the impulse response signals changes not in proportion to the pitch, and tones of the moving formant type or generated changing more mildly than a change in the pitch.

Abstract: A music performance information inputting apparatus for inputting music performance information to be supplied to an electronic musical instrument is arranged by a switch and a touch panel. This switch is used to select single basic music performance information from plural types of basic music performance information stored in a table memory. The music performance information inputting apparatus changes the content of the single basic music performance information selected by the switch based on the data derived from the touch panel so as to produce music performance information. This music performance information is merged with another music performance information received by a receiving unit from an external appliance, and the merged music performance information is transmitted by a transmitting unit to the external appliance.

Abstract: Only in a transient band of a filter, substantially all frequency bands of the musical tone waveform are subjected to filter processing. Due to this, the drawback that the amount of change of the frequency characteristic of the musical tone gradually changes as a whole from a fundamental wave toward a harmonics and only one part of the frequency characteristic of the musical tone changes is eliminated.Also, the density of frequency components of the frequency band of the musical tone waveform does not change, the related frequency band is shifted in frequency, subjected to filter processing, and further shifted to a frequency in accordance with the musical tone pitch. Due to this, a specific range of the filter characteristic is selected, and the musical tone is subjected to the filter control only within this range.

Abstract: An air conditioner having an indoor unit and an outdoor unit which are connected by a refrigerant pipe and electric cables. The indoor unit has a housing, in which a heat exchanger, a fan device and a compressor are arranged. A partition divides the interior of the housing into a fan chamber and a compressor chamber. The fan chamber contains the fan and opens at the front of the housing. The compressor chamber contains the compressor and opens at the back of the housing. Not incorporating the compressor, the outdoor unit is smaller and lighter than otherwise. The indoor unit is secured to the wall of a room, with the back of the housing facing the wall. Hence, the noise the compressor makes while operating does not annoy the persons in the room is much.

Abstract: Ratios of frequencies of frequency components of formant waveform signals are changed, and consonance of frequency components of a musical tone is controlled. Moreover, amplitudes, frequencies or numbers of formants are controlled depending upon the musical factors, making rich the contents for changing the musical tones.

Abstract: An apparatus for inputting MIDI information output from a sequencer or a keyboard and performing a predetermined process on the input MIDI information in accordance with an instruction from an operation panel to alter that information to new MIDI information or to generate new MIDI information in the apparatus in accordance with an instruction from the operation panel, and for outputting the altered or generated MIDI information to a tone generator to provide tone generation or the setting of a machine.

Abstract: Musical score can be displayed by a simple operation, thus permitting musical score to be easily seen when playing the music. Namely, musical score data of a plurality of pieces of music are stored in the musical score display, and when a piece of music is selected, the musical score data of this piece of music is read out and displayed, and thus musical score data can be easily selected and displayed. Musical score data that has been read out and displayed can be changed according to a feeding of a page. The displayed musical score, and the musical score page feed can be easily effected while playing the music. As a result, displayed musical score is changed according to a progress of a musical repeat for example Da Capo, Dal Segno, Al Fine, bis, etc.

Abstract: A waveform memory for storing data of musical tone waveforms can be mounted in and dismounted from an electronic musical instrument body. The waveform memory is thus replaceable, permitting the sounding of tones with various varieties. In addition, if musical tone waveform data corresponding to a tone designated for sounding is not stored in the memory, it is automatically loaded in the memory, thus permitting automatic sounding of tones to be requested.

Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus includes an air grille having a right side grille, a left side grille and a sub grille disposed between the right side and left side grilles. At the start of the heating operation, the right side and left side grilles and the sub grille are at a downward air flow position at which heating air flows downwardly. A prescribed time after the start of the heting operation, or when the difference between the tempeature of the wall on which the apparatus is installed and a desired room temperature has come into a prescribed range, the right side and left side grilles are rotated to a diagonally-downwardly air flow position at which a portion of the heating air flows diagonally-downwardly while the sub grille is maintained at the downward air flow position.
