  • Patent number: 8451865
    Abstract: A signal processing apparatus capable of minimizing the required processing so that a data packet containing a described discontinuity information table can be inserted preferably in a transport stream (partial stream). In this apparatus, a stream layer model storage has a model of the table to be stored in a DIT (Discontinuity Information Table) packet indicating a discontinuity point of a stream layer. A DIT packet insertion controller refers to the information set in an insertion timing setting register and, upon arrival of the timing to insert the DIT packet, the information preset in a description contents setting register is inserted into the model to thereby generate the DIT packet, and then the generated packet is inserted at the discontinuity point of the transport stream (partial stream).

  • Patent number: 5591385
    Abstract: This invention provides a plastic molding method, a mold, and a molded article. According to this invention, the supply flow rate of a coolant, e.g., cooling water, to a mold is maintained to shorten the molding cycle and to improve the productivity in continuous molding. The temperature distribution and pressure distribution in the mold are measured, thereby realizing determination as to whether a molded article is defective or not in the molding and cooling processes. The temperatures at respective required portions of the molded article removed from the mold are monitored, so that determination as to whether a molded article is defective or not can be performed, thereby improving the productivity. Countermeasures are taken not to deform the molded article. A thermoplastic resin injected from a hot runner into a cavity is heated at a gate discharge portion by a shearing heat upon injection. Countermeasures are taken to suppress temperature increase caused by this heat.

  • Patent number: 5589936
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical measuring apparatus for measuring physicochemical properties of specimen, utilizing the optical echo which is a nonlinear optical phenomenon. Light emitted from a laser beam source in the optical measuring apparatus of the present invention is split into two beams, one of which is optically delayed by an optical delay unit and the other of which is phase-modulated at a predetermined frequency by a phase modulator. An optical mixer mixes the two beams outgoing from the optical delay unit and from the phase modulator, and the mixed beam is guided onto a specimen to form a light spot thereon. Light from the specimen is detected by a photodetector, and a modulation component even times larger than the modulation frequency of phase modulator is extracted from the output signal from the photodetector. The physicochemical properties of specimen can be measured by detecting an intensity of optical echo depending upon the optical delay time set by the optical delay unit.

  • Patent number: 5421406
    Abstract: A heat sink having pin-shaped fins, for example, for use in disposing of heat in printed boards for computers comprises a heat dissipating base plate and a plurality of comblike fin members arranged in parallel at a predetermined spacing on one surface of the base plate approximately perpendicular thereto, each of the fin members comprising pin-shaped fins arranged in a row and connector connecting the fins together each at one end thereof, the connector of each fin member being joined to the surface of the base plate. The fins are given a greater height and arranged with a reduced pitch with a higher density for disposal of increased amounts of heat. To prepare the heat sink, the fin members are blanked out from a metal sheet, the fin members and spacer plates are arranged alternately on one surface of a heat dissipating base plate approximately perpendicular thereto, the connectors of the fin members are joined to the base plate and the spacer plates are thereafter removed.
