Abstract: A scroll compressor comprising a fixed scroll (15); an orbiting scroll (16) supported in a manner allowing for orbiting motion; a discharge port through which a fluid compressed by the two scrolls (15, 16) is discharged; an end plate step portion (16E) provided on an end plate of the orbiting scroll (16) formed so that a height of the end plate is higher on a center portion side in the direction of a spiral wrap and lower on an outer end side; and a wrap step portion (15E) provided on a wall portion of the fixed scroll (15) that corresponds to the end plate step portion (16E) so that a height of the wall portion is lower on the center portion side of the spiral and higher on the outer end side; wherein the orbiting scroll (16) is treated for surface hardening and the fixed scroll (15) is not treated for surface hardening.

Abstract: A composite device, including a first control section; a second control section; and a storage section having a common area and a dedicated area, the common area can be accessed by both the first control section and the second control section, and the first control section prohibits the second control section from accessing the dedicated area, when activated in a first mode, the first control section converts data stored in the dedicated area into a predetermined format and stores the converted data in the common area, and when activated in a second mode, the second control section by sending a request to the first control section, obtains the converted data from the common area of the storage section via the first control section, and carries out a process using the converted data.

Abstract: A music piece reproduction device comprises a recording section (12) for recording a plurality of music piece data each possessing a sound data file and a beat guide file containing information on the sound data file, and a control section (1) for controlling so as to connect the sound data files recorded in the recording section (12), using a predetermined method. A command comment, indicating what kind of editing is capable of being performed and at which position in the music piece, is added to the beat guide file, and the control section successively reproduces a preceding music piece and a subsequence music piece based on the command comments of these two music pieces.

Abstract: A control unit controls to access the beat guide file for timings of beats, cues, lyrics, and messages of musical sound data to be reproduced, and controls an image processing unit to display beat guide objects (52a and 52b), which respectively represent beat timings and reproducing pitches of selected musical sound data. This allows a user to reproduce musical sound data at will by referring to the beat guide objects (52a and 52b) and visually recognizing beat progression, reproducing pitches, cue positions, lyrics, and messages of the musical sound data to be reproduced.

Abstract: An electronic part or component for use in a mobile communication apparatus is mounted with improved joining strength to a printed substrate. The electronic part is formed by laminating first and second insulator substrates. An auxiliary electrode is arranged in a portion of a laminating layer face on one side of the second insulator substrate in a part of that laminating layer face which does not overlap the corresponding laminating layer face of the first insulator substrate.

Abstract: A method of verifying wiring layouts including the steps of preparing a first reference value representing the minimum required distance between each combination of two arbitrary kinds of wiring elements; preparing a second reference value representing the minimum required distance between the two straight wirings in a prescribed positional relation (parallel to each other, for instance); extracting two arbitrary wiring elements from the layout data; determining the combination of the kinds of the two wiring elements extracted; determining whether the two straight wirings are in a predetermined positional relation if the two wiring elements are both determined to be straight wirings; determining whether a predetermined relation is established between the first or the second reference value and the distance between the extracted wiring elements by comparing the distance between the extracted two wiring elements with the first reference value if the two wiring elements are determined to be straight wirings in a
