Abstract: A column-and-beam join structure comprises connecting the column and beam with a pair of split tees. At least one split tee has a web with a portion of the web having a reduced cross-sectional area. The web with the reduced cross-sectional area is located between a flange of the beam and a buckling restraint. The buckling restraint is connected to the flange of the beam with bolts. The sides of the bolts are in the proximity to the side surface of the portion of the web of the split tee having the reduced cross-sectional area. Annular members may be arranged surrounding portions of the bolts that are in proximity to the side surface of the portion of the web having the reduced cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A functional element-mounted module can be decreased in size and requires no costly and special members for a light transition member. A substrate is used, on which an optical functional element having an optical function part and bonding pads therearound is mounted by wire bonding, with an upper face of the element upward. A bank to dam a liquid sealing resin is provided around the optical functional element on the substrate, and the liquid sealing resin is dropped and filled between the optical functional element and the bank such that the bonding pads and partial gold wires for the wire bonding are exposed. A package-component member having a hole corresponding to the optical functional element is abutted to the bank such that the hole is opposed to the function part of the functional element. Thereby, the package-component member is contacted to the liquid sealing resin. The package-component member is fixed to the substrate by curing the liquid sealing resin, and the bank is cut away.

Abstract: An input signal DT contains a segment synchronization signal compliant with the ATSC standard. A clock multiplication section 111 multiplies a clock CK. A switchable sampling section 112 selects a sample point from among a plurality of timing points that are defined by the multiplied clock, and samples the input signal DT at the selected sample point. Moreover, the switchable sampling section 112 switches sample points from one to another in a synchronization-unestablished state. Once the segment synchronization is established, a synchronization detection device may maintain a synchronization-established state until the field synchronization detection fails, or the synchronization detection device may output a synchronization detection signal after shifting it in the time direction based on a bit error rate RT of the input signal.
