  • Patent number: 10176825
    Abstract: In general, according to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a sound source separation processor and an audio controller. The sound source separation processor is configured to perform a sound source separation function that separates an input audio signal into a voice signal and a background sound signal and emphasizes either the voice signal or the background sound signal. The audio controller is configured to control, based on scene information relating to a scene included in video, performance of the sound source separation function during display of the scene.

  • Patent number: 8273292
    Abstract: The present invention provides a steel for machine and structural use which sustains mechanical properties such as strength by reducing S content, and exerts excellent machinability (in particular, tool life) in both of intermittent cutting with HSS tools and continuous cutting with carbide tools. The invention relates to a steel for machine and structural use which contains an oxide inclusion containing, wherein a total mass of an average composition of the oxide inclusions is 100%: CaO: 10 to 55 mass %; SiO2: 20 to 70 mass %; Al2O3: more than 0 and 35 mass % or less; MgO: more than 0 and 20 mass % or less; MnO: more than 0 and 5 mass % or less; and one or more members selected from the group consisting of Li2O, Na2O, K2O, BaO, SrO and TiO2: 0.5 to 20 mass % in total.

  • Patent number: 8192565
    Abstract: The present invention provides a steel for machine and structural use which is capable of maintaining mechanical characteristics such as strength by reducing a S content as well as of exhibiting excellent machinability (particularly tool life) in intermittent cutting (such as hobbing) with the high speed tool, and a method useful for producing the steel for machine and structural use. The steel for machine and structural use according to the invention secures 0.002% or more of solute N in the steel and has a chemical composition which is appropriately adjusted and satisfies a relationship of the following expression (1): (0.1×[Cr]+[Al])/[O]?150 . . . (1), in which [Cr], [Al], and [0] represent a Cr content (mass %), an Al content (mass %), and an O content (mass %), respectively.

  • Publication number: 20090324193
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a broadcast receiver receives a broadcast signal, and performs predetermined signal processing on the received broadcast signal. The broadcast receiver manages an off-timer function on the basis of an operation input from the user. When the off-timer setting time is set, the broadcast receiver controls to start recording, on a recording medium, a transmitted signal having undergone signal processing.

  • Patent number: 6678143
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrostatic chuck having a coating layer (3) surrounding an insulating layer (1,2) and the eletrodes (3) consists essentially of non-crystalline carbon (DLC) having electric resistivity ranging from 10 sup 8 to 10 sup 13 &OHgr;-cm. The coating layer preferably contains 15-26 atom % of hydrogen. The coating layer preferably has an intensity ratio of 07-1.2, the intensity ratio being defined as a ratio of an intensity at 1360 cm−1 to another intensity at 1500 cm−1 when the said coating layer is subjected to Raman spectroscopic analysis. The coating layer is manufactured by the P-CVD process wherein hydrocarbon (CxHy) is introduced into a vacuum container and ionized therein by ionizing process and ionized hydrocarbon is deposited on the surface of the said conductive electrodes by apply thereto a predetermined pulse voltage within an after-glow time of smaller than 250 microseconds.
