Abstract: The present invention prevents sound quality from degrading due to a change in electric field intensity or due to multi-path noise. An arithmetic unit subtracts a signal based on the detection signal of multi-path noise whose time constant is specified by a second time constant circuit from a signal based on an RSSI signal whose time constant is specified by a first time constant. An output signal from this arithmetic unit is applied, as a control signal, to a stereo-noise control circuit or the like. This can control the degradation of separation and the like in accordance with multi-path fading to prevent sound quality from degrading.

Abstract: There is provided a receiver not requiring a complicated connection for an operation test and capable of reducing the test time and simplifying the device configuration. An output signal of an oscillator 21 used for generating a reference signal input to a PLL circuit 20 connected to a local oscillator 13 is divided by a divider 24 to generate a test signal contained in a reception band of the AM broadcast. This test signal is input via a switch 25 to a high frequency amplification circuit 11 and an intermediate frequency signal for this test signal is input to a level detector 30. When the AM receiver operates normally, the output of a voltage comparator 31 becomes high level.

Abstract: A stereo demodulator circuit comprising at least one noise control unit for performing a noise control responding to an RSSI (reception electric-field intensity) when the RSSI is within a specified range, further comprises an AD converter unit for AD-converting a signal corresponding to the RSSI and a control signal producing unit for producing a control signal for a noise control performed in the noise control unit according to a noise level when the noise level obtained by the AD conversion is within the above described specified range. The control signal producing unit comprises an offset unit for digitally offsetting a signal obtained through the above described AD conversion by a predefined value and truncating lower bits off the offset value by the number of bits in compliance with a grade of the noise control accuracy and outputs the control signal based on the signal obtained from the offset unit.

Abstract: An FM/AM switch (31) selects either an FM detected signal or an AM detected signal. A capacitor (4) is provided to cut the DC component of the FM detected signal. A low-cut frequency switch (33) selects a resistor designated by a control, signal from among resistors (Ra through Rc). A high-pass filter is constituted by the capacitor (4) and a resistor selected by the low-cut frequency switch (33). The cut-off frequency of this high-pass filter is adjusted by the selection of a resistor.

Abstract: A current amount of a current that flows in the transistor (23) of a current mirror circuit that retrieves an L?R component signal from a stereo composite signal is adjusted based on a control signal that is generated by the control circuit (25).

Abstract: The time constant of an HCC de-emphasis circuit 15, which is connected in the stage following a stereo demodulator circuit 14 for demodulating a received signal and which has both a high-cut control function and a de-emphasis function, is made variable based on the reception level.

Abstract: In a storage device from which n bits of data are read at a time, data pieces whose logical bit positions are 0*8+k, 1*8+k, 2*8+k, 3*8+k, . . . , m*8+k (where k and m are natural numbers satisfying 0≦k≦7, 0 ≦m≦n/8−1) are stored in memory cells close to one another in a memory cell array, and the bit positions are shifted by a predetermined number of bits when data having a small number of significant bits is read from the memory cell array.

Abstract: A terminal crimping unit providing improved functionality. The pressuring unit is installed on the terminal crimping unit. The pressuring unit is equipped with a plural number of pressure members for crimping the terminal fittings. The plural number of pressure members are unified in one frame body. The frame body is designed such that can be taken off and put on as one unit from the shank. By having only one motion for putting on and taking off the frame body, the plural number of pressuring members, including the crimpers, can be maintained as one unit.

Abstract: In order to carry out quick and easy changeover of platens of an electrode unit, a shank holder connects a fixed lower electrode with a platen. Further, a movable upper electrode is connected with another platen by the shank, which is held by the shank holder. The shank holder and the shank are integrally connected with each other, and are positioned in such a manner that the electrodes can perform resistance welding. Merely detaching the shank and shank holder from their respective platens allows the desired electrode units to be mounted on, or removed from, a resistance welder without making any position adjustments of the electrodes. Consequently, adjustment of the positions of the electrodes becomes unnecessary, thereby facilitating quicker and easier changeover of electrodes.

Abstract: A terminal feeding unit reducing preparation time and adapted for multi-item and small-lot production of wire harnesses and a multi-crimping apparatus employing the same are disclosed. Plural terminal feeding units (210) are incorporated into the multi-crimping apparatus (20). Each terminal feeding unit (210) has a carrier cutting section for severing a terminal portion (BS) from a terminal belt (B), a crimping section (214) located at a pressing position (A), and a feeding section (215) for feeding a terminal (T) to the crimping section (214).

Abstract: An electronic musical instrument having a plurality of switches is disclosed wherein a numerical value can be inputted without provision of a specific switch for inputting a numerical value. The electronic musical instrument has a tone/effect inputting mode in which, when one of the switches is operated, a tone or acoustic effect allocated in advance to the operated switch is set and a numeric inputting mode in which, when one of the switches is operated, a numerical value allocated in advance to the operated switch is set. A change-over switch is provided for changing over the operation mode between the tone/effect inputting mode and the numeric inputting mode.

Abstract: A sequencer according to the present invention comprises: a display having multiple data input fields for entry of information items and having a capability for distinguishing or emphasizing which of the data input fields is prepared to accept input; designating circuitry for selecting an operation mode; and a control for, when a specific operation mode is selected by the designating circuitry, facilitating the entry of information items by distinguishing or emphasizing one of the data input fields where information will most probably be entered in the specific operation mode.
