Abstract: An information processing apparatus for mitigating the processing load of its CPU to increase the transfer rate at recording and enhance the usage efficiency of recording media. A host CPU determines whether an information signal supplied from the apparatus is a moving picture signal according to an instruction entered by user through a key operation block or according to the information included in the supplied information signal. If the supplied information signal is found to be moving picture information, the CPU detects free blocks each made up of a plurality of clusters by referencing the FAT information of a hard disk and records the moving picture information in unit of detected free blocks. If the supplied information signal is found not to be moving picture information, the CPU records the detected signal to free clusters on a cluster basis.

Abstract: One of the sales-promotion information items stored is selected and displayed on the dedicated second customer-use display unit provided on the upper surface of the counter.

Abstract: Information processing equipment is so constructed that the power consumption of a disk drive for hard disks, optical disks, or the like can be reliably and sufficiently reduced. The host CPU (120) of an information processing unit (100) forms a command for changing the power consumption mode of a HDD (200) based on the state of control on the HDD (200). The host CPU supplies the command to the HDD (200) through a media controller (106). When the HDD (200) accepts the command, it changes its power consumption mode according to the instruction from the information processing unit. Thus, the information processing unit can control the power consumption mode of the HDD (200) based on the state of control on the HDD (200).

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: recording means having a drive part including rotational drive means for rotating an optical recording medium in order to record data onto the optical recording medium; data coding means for coding data; and recording control means for storing the coded data into storage means and controlling the recording means to record the data stored in the storage means onto the optical recording medium. The recording control means includes overall control means for controlling the recording control means overall and servo control means for servo-controlling the drive part of the recording means. In the recording-standby state standing by to store the coded data, the overall control means stops operation of the servo control means, and at the same time, servo-controls the rotational drive means.

Abstract: A desk system comprises leg panels of a desired thickness, top board support members each having a top support surface and capable of being fastened to the leg panel such that the top support surface extends above the leg panel, top boards respectively having desired shapes and capable of being fastened to the top support surfaces of the top board support members, and longitudinal beams connecting the adjacent leg panels and forming a trough. Each of the leg panels is a hollow structure having a cut upper corner, an end part of each longitudinal beam is fastened to the cut upper corner. The desk system is capable of being assembled in a desired form.

Abstract: A core includes a ring body and a plurality of teeth. The teeth extend radially outward form the outer circumference of the ring body. The core is formed by assembling a first core member and a second core member. Each core member has part of the teeth the number of which is half the total number of the teeth. Each tooth includes a tooth body about which the coil is wound, and a magnetism converging portion provided at the distal end of the tooth body. The tooth height of each tooth body gradually increases from a distal section to a proximal section of the tooth body. The tooth width gradually decreases from the distal section to the proximal section. The wire is wound about each of the teeth of the first and second core members. Then, the first and second core members are assembled to form the core. Accordingly, a rotor core having a high coil accommodation efficiency and a high coil space factor is obtained.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a highly reliable and user-friendly information processing apparatus by mitigating the processing load of its CPU to increase the transfer rate at recording and enhance the usage efficiency of recording media. A host CPU 13 determines whether an information signal supplied from the apparatus under the control thereof is a moving picture signal from an instruction entered by user through a key operation block 14 or from the information included in the supplied information signal. If the supplied information signal is found to be moving picture information, the CPU 13 detects free blocks each made up of a plurality of clusters by referencing the FAT information of a hard disk 11 for example selected as a recording medium and records the moving picture information in unit of detected free blocks. If the supplied information signal is found not to be moving picture information, the CPU 13 records the detected signal to free clusters on a cluster basis.

Abstract: Mounts are provided on the inside surface of the left and the right sides of a seat cover on the underside of a chair, and positioning pins with heads and fastening members are provided on the upper surfaces of the bases of armrests. Each mount includes positioning holes respectively having holes for the heads of the positioning pins to be passed through and slits of a width allowing the rods of the positioning pins to be fitted in, and a support hole for the fastening member to be engaged in. When the positioning pins are located at the rear ends of the slits of the positioning holes, the armrests is fixed to the mounts through the support holes by the fastening members. Thus the armrests are removably, assembled with the chair body.

Abstract: The present device relates to a chair in which a base member is fitted onto an upper portion of a leg comprising a plurality of castors in contact with a floor together with support members for these castors, and a seat portion and a back rest are provided on an upper portion of a support plate that is capable of reclining with respect to the base member. This chair is also provided with a cam-shaped link capable of rotating about the periphery of a pin provided in the base member, an upper portion of the link protrudes towards the support plate side, and a corresponding elastic member that is compressed by the rotation of the link is provided in a bottom portion of the base member. A shaft portion in contact with the link, and which causes the link to change profile in response to the reclining action, is provided within the support plate. This configuration provides a chair that is inexpensive and can naturally adopt either a serious working position or a relaxed reclining position.
