Abstract: An extraction circuit is connected to an input path of an output amplifier. When the power is turned on, the extraction circuit extracts current on the basis of a difference between the normal rise of the supply voltage and a delayed supply voltage. Therefore, a steep rise in the input of the output amplifier when the power is turned on can be removed.

Abstract: A power amplifier drives a load connected to a first output terminal and a second output terminal. When generation of over-current is detected by the current detection section, the output amplifier control section is controlled to stop the operation of the output amplifier section, and when a voltage greater than or equal to said set value is detected by said voltage detection section, the stopped operation of said output amplifier section is maintained even though generation of the over-current is not detected at the current detection section. When the terminal voltage detection section detects a terminal voltage greater than or equal to a predetermined voltage, over-current at the current detection section is suppressed.

Abstract: There is provided a PWM inverter capable of preventing a phase error from occurring in generating a PWM signal even in the case where a carrier wave frequency is not sufficiently higher than a signal wave frequency. A PWM signal generating section (2) includes a phase adjusting section (11) configured to advance a phase of the signal wave by adding, to a signal wave, a delay component of the PWM signal with respect to the signal wave, the phase delay component being involved by digital control. Furthermore, in a case where the carrier wave frequency is changed, the phase delay component with respect to the signal wave is updated in synchronism with the timing of change of the carrier wave frequency.

Abstract: Each time a player character performs a boom triggering act, “1” is added to the corresponding act number counter provided for each non-player character. The value of each act number counter is periodically added to a boom value provided for each non-player character. When a boom value reaches an upper limit, the corresponding non-player character performs an act related to the boom triggering act performed by the player character. Thus, the act of each non-player character is changed in accordance with the act performed by the player character in the game world, which provides the player with a fresh feeling that the act performed by the player character set a trend in the game world.

Abstract: A molten steel of a special steel or the like including a high-alloy steel is poured in a mold whose bottom portion is closed with a dummy head of a lift table. As the lift table is vertically moved down at a given casting speed, a casting whose lower end is supported by the dummy head is continuously pulled out from the bottom portion of the mold. As a pair of movable molds that constitute the mold are relatively moved away from each other in synchronism with the downward movement of the lift table, both widthwise side surfaces of the casting are provided with required tapering.

Abstract: A method of recovering an exclusive control instruction in a computer system having a plurality of processor modules and a plurality of shared memory modules which are coupled via a system bus. At least a part of the shared memory modules forms a dual construction. The exclusive control instruction makes access from an arbitrary one of the processor modules to the shared memory modules. First, a read access is performed to a master shared memory module from the arbitrary processor module in response to the exclusive control instruction. Thereafter, a write access is performed to a slave shared memory module, which forms a pair with the master shared memory module from the arbitrary processor module, so as to rewrite data in the slave shared memory module. Finally, a write access is performed to the master shared memory module from the arbitrary processor module, so as to rewrite data in the master shared memory module.
