  • Panel display type television and cabinet structure
    Patent number: 7812891
    Abstract: Front cabinets of different sizes have been prepared for each of display apparatuses of different screen sizes. A front cabinet 20 of a size capable of accommodating each of a PDP 31 and a PDP 32 of different screen sizes is provided and it is made possible to select, depending on whether the display accommodated therein is the PDP 31 or the PDP 32, one of a decoration frame 11 whose size of opening corresponds to a screen 31a of the PDP 31 and a decoration frame 12 whose size of opening corresponds to a screen 32a of the PDP 32 is selected and attached to the front cabinet 20. Therefore, one type of front cabinet 20 can be used in each of the cases where the PDP 31 or the PDP 32 is accommodated therein. Thus, the cost for manufacturing plasma televisions of different screen sizes can be reduced.

  • Reproducing apparatus with built-in optical disk drive
    Patent number: 7760601
    Abstract: Conventional reproducing apparatuses used to perform incorrect detection or consume electricity considerably. According to the present invention, the comparator 61 comparing voltages at both ends of the spindle motor 15 and outputting the result is provided, and the control IC 12 judges whether or not the spindle motor 15 is rotating based on the output from the comparator 61. Based on this judgment, brake pulses are repeatedly supplied to the spindle motor 15 until the spindle motor 15 stops. Based on the number of times the brake pulses are supplied until the spindle motor 15 stops, the presence or absence of an optical disk in the disk drive is determined.
