Abstract: A three-terminal capacitor includes a main body having a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical shape extending in a first direction and including first and second inner electrodes alternately laminated together with dielectric layers interposed therebetween, a pair of first outer electrodes on two end surfaces of the main body in the first direction and electrically connected to the first inner electrodes, and a second outer electrode electrically connected to the second inner electrodes. The main body includes a projecting portion projecting in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction at a position between the pair of first outer electrodes. The second outer electrode is provided on one surface of the projecting portion viewable when viewed in the first direction.

Abstract: This invention provides a belt profile and profiled belt that can be easily mounted to and detached from a toothed belt. Specifically, a profile body and a claw section are integrally formed via a connection section. A side edge section of the toothed belt is inserted between the profile body and the claw section from an inner side in the belt width direction. The profile body is arranged on a rear surface side of the toothed belt. The claw section is arranged at the side edge section, on the tooth surface side. The connection section passes outside the side surface of the toothed belt. The profile is mounted on the toothed belt by engaging the claw section with a belt tooth while the profile body and the claw section sandwich the side edge section. The profile is removed from the toothed belt by performing these procedures in reverse order.

Abstract: A broadcast receiver which can receive broadcast by directly selecting a discretionary broadcast station from all the receivable broadcast stations. The broadcast receiver is provided with a broadcast receiving section having broadcast station searching means for searching a carrier frequency of the receivable broadcast station. The receivable carrier frequencies searched by the broadcast station searching means are displayed as a list of broadcast station information on a display section, a specification from the list of broadcast station information displayed on the display section is accepted by operation of an operating section, and broadcast of the carrier frequency corresponding to the accepted specification is permitted to be received by the broadcast receiving section.

Abstract: In a control apparatus for a passenger conveyor, passenger detecting devices provided on balustrades distinguish and monitor the absence/presence of a passenger within first zones on an entrance gate side and an exit gate side including floor boards of the entrance gate side and the exit gate side, and the absence/presence of a passenger within second zones on the entrance gate side and the exit gate side adjacent to and beyond the first zones, covering the first zones. When a passenger is detected in the second zone on the entrance gate side in a standby mode, a mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to an intermediate mode, and when a passenger is detected in the first zone on the entrance gate side in the intermediate mode, the mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to a conveying mode.

Abstract: In a control apparatus for a passenger conveyor, passenger detecting devices provided on balustrades distinguish and monitor the absence/presence of a passenger within first zones on an entrance gate side and an exit gate side including floor boards of the entrance gate side and the exit gate side and the absence/presence of a passenger within second zones on the entrance gate side and the exit gate side adjacent to the outside of the first zones so as to cover the first zones. In the case where a passenger is detected in the second zone on the entrance gate side in a standby mode, a mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to an intermediate mode, and in the case where a passenger is detected in the first zone on the entrance gate side in the intermediate mode, the mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to a conveying mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for detecting chromosome abnormalities correlated with lung cancer. The method contacting a nucleic acid sample from a patient with a probe which binds selectively to a target polynucleotide sequence correlated with lung cancer.

Abstract: An escalator system has a plurality of steps connected to form an endless loop having a load-bearing run and a return run and circulatingly driven along a circulating path defined on a main frame. A movable member mounted on at least one of the steps is movable to an elevated position on the level of a tread of the step in front of that particular step in the load-bearing run. An operating mechanism is connected to the movable member for elevating the movable member. The operating mechanism comprises first and second racks mounted on the main frame at end portions of the loop. A forward-rotation pinion is mounted on the step with the movable member or on the step next to the step for engagement with the first rack, and a reverse-rotation pinion is mounted on the step with the movable member or on the step next to the step for engagement with the second rack.

Abstract: A method for enciphering and deciphering instructions in a microcomputer and a microcomputer for effecting the same, in which, an instruction is coded into at least two types of instruction codes and stored in a storage unit and in which, under the control of discriminating circuit for discriminating the coded format, each instruction code is decoded by one of at least two decoders in accordance with one of at least two decoding formats, so that the stored software is prevented from being learned by third persons.

Abstract: A phase synchronization circuit for controlling a graphic display device in a teletext receiving system. The phase synchronization circuit includes a delay circuit, adapted to delay in sequence clock signals which are to be phase-synchronized with a reference signal and to produce in sequence delayed clock signals, and a selection circuit, including set/reset circuits and gates, each gate receiving the output of the set/reset circuits and of the delayed clock signals. Among the delay clock signals, the signal that has the nearest edge timing to the edge of external signals is selected. The phase synchronization circuit has a short pull-in time and high-speed synchronization, is suitable for circuit integration, and offers improved reliability.
