  • Publication number: 20060190675
    Abstract: A control apparatus includes an RAM capable of rewriting data; a data writing unit that writes a predetermined length of data output to the RAM in an arbitrary area of the RAM on the basis of an address signal for designating an address of the RAM and an effective area definition signal for defining an area effective in writing the predetermined length of data into the RAM; a judgment unit that judges whether the writing of the predetermined length of data into the RAM by the data writing unit is to be prohibited or not; and a rewriting prohibition unit that changes the effective area definition signal to a signal invalidating the writing of the whole predetermined length of data when the judgment unit makes a decision that the writing is to be prohibited.

  • Patent number: 6668057
    Abstract: An arithmetic processing section is designed to repeatedly execute product-sum arithmetic processing a number of times equal to the number of samples corresponding to each of the frequencies, in which a value obtained by subtracting a product-sum arithmetic value two sampling periods before from an input signal and a value obtained by multiplying a product-sum arithmetic value one sampling period before by a coefficient corresponding to a reference frequency contained in a DTMF signal are added. A comparator extracts an output value equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value from the product-sum arithmetic values obtained by the arithmetic processing section. A matrix section determines the type of DTMF signal on the basis of at least two output values extracted by the comparator.

  • Patent number: 6427880
    Abstract: A liquid inlet located in the lower position of a liquid passage is sealed with the valve guide of a valve body. The lever pushes the valve guide of the valve body to open up the liquid inlet. A pair of fixing arms is provided on the edge of the lever. An insertion hole of the pivot installed in a protruding manner or two sidewalls of the liquid passage is formed on each fixing arm. When moving the lever in the direction opposite to operation around each fixing arm, the boss member is abutted on sidewalls to widen the gap between each fixing arm to remove the insertion hole from the pivot. This makes it easy to take apart and assemble the structured parts of the plug and makes it washable in every nook and corner inside the plug structure.

  • Patent number: 5758205
    Abstract: A lens barrel constructed of a cam slot, a lens cylinder, a memory means, a detecting means, a motor driving means and a control means. The cam slot has a discontinuous area formed in a portion corresponding to a parting line of a molding die used for molding. The lens cylinder ass a cam follower engaging with this cam slot. The memory means stores information indicating where the discontinuous area exists in the cam slot. The detecting means detects where the cam follower is positioned in the cam slot. The motor driving means makes the lens cylinder progress and retreat in the optical-axis direction by relatively driving the cam slot and the lens cylinder. The control means controls the motor driving means to drive the lens cylinder up to a position deviating from the discontinuous area when the cam follower is in the discontinuous area by comparing memory information of the memory mens with detection information of the detecting means.

  • Patent number: 5583595
    Abstract: A lens barrel constructed of a cam slot, a lens cylinder, a memory, a detector, a motor drive and a controller. The cam slot has a discontinuous area formed in a portion corresponding to a parting line of a molding die used for molding. The lens cylinder has a cam follower slidably engaging the cam slot. The memory stores information indicating where the discontinuous area exists in the cam slot. The detector detects where the cam follower is positioned in the cam slot. The motor drive makes the lens cylinder progress and retreat in the optical-axis direction by driving one of the cam slot and the lens cylinder relative to the other. The controller controls the motor drive to drive the lens cylinder up to a position deviating from the discontinuous area when the cam follower is in the discontinuous area by comparing memory information of the memory with detection information of the detector.

  • Patent number: 5058142
    Abstract: A clock extractor which generates a clock signal for sampling of a data of a data signal received from a digital line on the basis of a separation clock having a period corresponding to a data communication rate of a data to be separated from the received data signal. The clock extractor always generates a plurality of clock signals which have respectively an identical period corresponding to a data communication rate of the received data signal and which phases are slightly shifted mutually, and each time selects one of the plurality of clock signals as a clock signal for sampling of the received data signal. In the selecting operation of the clock extractor, a change in the logical level of the separation clock to a specific level is detected with resolution power corresponding to the slightly mutually shifted phases of the plurality of clock signals, and any one of the plurality of clock signals is specified according to the detection timing.

  • Patent number: 4154760
    Abstract: A urea synthesis process for converting ammonia and carbon dioxide to urea is improved by providing an easy means of maintaining the urea synthesis zone in the process at a constant temperature. In the process the starting CO.sub.2 and up to and including 100 percent of the starting NH.sub.3 are reacted in a heat-recovery zone maintained at a urea synthesis pressure. Some of the heat of reaction is removed. The molar ratio of NH.sub.3 to CO.sub.2 which is fed into the heat-recovery zone is less than 4. The reaction mixture and the rest of the starting NH.sub.3 are fed into a urea synthesis zone maintained at urea synthesis pressure to produce urea. The improvement involves adjusting the amount of starting ammonia which is fed into the urea synthesis zone in response to any change in the temperature in the urea synthesis zone so that the urea synthesis zone is maintained at a substantially fixed temperature.
