Patent number: 4878217Abstract: In a data outputting device, data to be outputted is digitally stored in a memory and is read out when addressed over a predetermined period in a time division multiplex mode with addresses which are provided by a counter in such a manner that the number thereof of addresses provided per predetermined time period corresponds to the number of channels employed, and the data thus read out with the addresses are selected for the channels by a selection circuit, respectively, so that they are outputted separately according to the channels.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1988Date of Patent: October 31, 1989Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Norimasa Nakamura, Satoshi Kishimoto

Patent number: 4641116Abstract: A microwave bandpass filter having a wide bandwidth, low loss, and yet which requires only a relatively small circuit area. A generally annularly shaped unit-wavelength resonator is formed on a dielectric substrate, disposed between input and output matching circuits. The unit-wavelength resonator is formed by a pair of semi-annular strips disposed opposite one another and having opposing stubs defining therebetween a gap of predetermined width.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1985Date of Patent: February 3, 1987Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Junichi Shibata, Hiroshi Kojima

Patent number: 4599662Abstract: A mechanism for driving a tape recorder includes a selection lever supporting a pair of gears and selectively movable to bring the gears into mesh with gears on takeup and supply reels or out of mesh therewith under the control of a swing arm angularly movable in response to rotation of a cam plate having different cam faces for providing different modes of operation of the tape recorder. One of a pair of concentric integral gears is held at all times in mesh with one of the gears on the selection lever, and the other concentric gear is held in mesh with a gear on a joint arm, which can be brought into mesh with a motor gearing by a control arm only when the cam plate is held at rest.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1982Date of Patent: July 8, 1986Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone ManufacturingInventor: Tadahisa Iwasaki

Patent number: 4584602Abstract: An audience data rating collecting system and method which are capable of collecting television audience rating data automatically within a short period of time. A broadcasting station transmits over the air a marker signal. The marker signal is received by terminal units associated with selected subscribers' television receivers. Upon reception of the market signal, and after waiting a period of time necessary for other terminal units within the system to transmit their data back to the station, each terminal unit automatically dials a predetermined telephone number at the broadcasting station. Once the broadcasting station has had time to automatically answer, data from that terminal unit representative of the channel then being viewed is transmitted over the telephone circuit to the broadcasting station. After all terminal units have called in, the results are tabulated.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1983Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone Manufacturing CorporationInventor: Akira Nakagawa

Patent number: 4378578Abstract: A mode control device for a cassette tape recorder in which operational functions are combined with a small number of operational buttons or keys. A slidably-mounted electric source operation lever operates an electric source switch and also is slidable to a position causing the ejection of a tape cassette. A slidably-mounted function lever operates in conjunction with the electric source operation lever to change a tape drive between recording, stop, playback and rewinding modes with the function lever being prevented from operating during the OFF state of the electric source operation lever. When the electric source operation lever is at an ON position and the function lever is in a stop mode position, a magnetic recording and erase head and a pinch roller are in a position close to their respective contact positions so that the required manual force for moving to the recording or playback modes is quite small.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1981Date of Patent: March 29, 1983Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Yukimasa Shiozu, Tadahisa Iwasaki

Method and apparatus for recording and reproducing a message with an indication of a time occurrence
Patent number: 4345114Abstract: A message received through a telephone line is recorded by a tape recorder associated therewith in which a time instance at which the recording is started is memorized together with a specific count of pulses produced in synchronism with a transportation of the tape. When the message is to be reproduced, the specific count is compared with a current count and when the two coincide with each other the memorized time instance is indicated.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1980Date of Patent: August 17, 1982Assignee: Pioneer Ansafone Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Takashi Sato, Tomio Tsuchiya, Yasuo Matushima -
