Abstract: A multi-tap distribution apparatus is encased in an enclosure comprising a boxed shaped housing (2) with one side open and a main body (1) fitted in the opening of the housing. A pair of operating windows (13) are recessed in the main body for mounting and removing thermistors (14). Four connectors (4) are projected into each operating window through insertion holes (13a) in the bottom surface of the window. The connectors are coupled to a current transmission circuit (18) which feeds distribution output terminals (5) with operating currents. Four thermistors can be detachably coupled to the connectors without opening the enclosure. By coupling and detaching each thermistor, operating currents can be passed and blocked to the corresponding distribution output terminal (5). Each operating window (13) is normally closed up with a cover (3) to keep out rain and external noise.

Relay terminals (11, 12, 13, 14) of the mother board (5) are provided at positions corresponding to an input terminal (15) and an output terminal (16) of the branch unit (6).

Abstract: A satellite signal splitter is proposed which can transmit a received signal of a desired polarized wave with one cable to each terminal side when transmitting to plural terminal sides the received signals from a satellite receiving antenna which emits the received signals of a vertically polarized wave and a horizontally polarized wave.The vertically and horizontally polarized-wave received signals transmitted to input terminals 22V and 22H are split into four by splitting circuits 26V and 26H, respectively. The four split signals are transmitted to switching circuits 28a to 28d. In the switching circuits 28a to 28d, in accordance with a voltage level (11V or 15V) of a polarized-wave switching signal transmitted from terminal units connected to output terminals 24a to 24d, either the vertically or horizontally polarized-wave signal is selected and emitted from the output terminals 24a to 24d.

Abstract: A high-frequency signal branching device comprises a main body having an input terminal and an output terminal for connecting trunk cables on an input and an output side, respectively, and a branch body having a branch terminal for connecting a branch cable. This construction allows the number of branch terminals to be increased by replacing the branch body while keeping the main body intact. A branching circuit for branching a high-frequency signal from the trunk cable is provided in the branch body. Accordingly, the branching circuit also can be replaced by replacing the branch body.

Abstract: A direction adjustment indicator for a satellite radio wave receiving antenna comprises a demodulating circuit to demodulate a satellite radio wave received by the antenna, a peak holding circuit always to output a held peak value of the demodulated output of the demodulating circuit, a comparator circuit and a display element. The comparator circuit compares the instantaneous value of the demodulated output and the held peak value, and outputs a signal when both values are equal and another different signal when both values are not equal. The display element gives two different kinds of display in accordance with the signals. While the azimuth angle of the antenna is varied in one direction, a peak value of the demodulated output is held and while the angle is varied in the opposite direction, the optimum azimuth angle is displayed for which the instantaneous value of the demodulated output agrees with the held peak value.

Abstract: An amylase inhibitor consisting essentially of a protein constructed of 248 amino acid residues having two subunits, each identified as SEQ ID NO:1, in which a single band is observed at a mobility of 0.26 by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The amylase inhibitor can be extracted from wheat and purified by absorption on a cation exchange resin. It is useful for inhibiting an increase in blood glucose level, controlling insulin secretion, suppressing appetite, and as a food additive. The new amylase inhibitor can be used in combination with a protein composed of two subunits, each identified as SEQ ID NO:2, the total content of both proteins being not less than 20% by weight.

Abstract: A serial communication port structure for starting and stopping an internal clock. This internal clock is designed, in operation, to generate a clock output signal to be transmitted to a device external to the system in which the serial communication port is incorporated. By ANDing the clock output signal with a data output signal of predetermined length, the serial communication port can effectively control the passage of time as sensed by the external device.
