  • Patent number: 5003559
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital transmission system provided with a transmitter 11 and a receiver 12, wherein the transmitter 11 comprises a first clock extracting device 13, 14 for detecting a synchronizing signal contained in a first digital audio interface (DAI) format signal from the receiver 12 and generating a first clock signal of a predetermined frequency in being phase-locked with the synchronizing signal, a data read-out device 4 for reading out data from a recording medium on the basis of the first clock signal, and a first encoder 5 for encoding the data from the data read-out device 4 in a second digital audio interface (DAI) format signal on the basis of the first clock signal, while the receiver 12 comprises second clock extracting device 6, 7 for detecting a synchronizing signal contained in the second DAI format signal and generating a second clock signal of a predetermined frequency in being phase-locked with the synchronizing signal, a decoder 8 for decoding data from the second

  • Patent number: 4297558
    Abstract: The present application discloses a composite cooking device of the type having a box-shaped main body provided therein with a heating chamber, a heat source such as a gas burner, a magnetron, and a cooling fan for sending air into a cooling duct, having the magnetron interposed therein, and formed between the cooking device main body and the heating chamber, a one-sided space chamber with a front operation panel and an upper area which extends from the space chamber and is in communication with the atmosphere through an exhaust opening made in the upper portion of the main body. The device includes a control means for application of a high voltage applied through a transformer, or the like, the same contained in the space chamber. The invention is characterized in that the interior of the space chamber is separated by at least one partition wall into a front chamber for containing the control means and a rear chamber for containing the high voltage element.
