  • Patent number: 5598162
    Abstract: A holder is provided for a remote controller of a karaoke machine. The holder causes the remote controller to be removably held to a handle of a microphone. The holder comprises a portion of an elastic material, such that the portion can tightly fit an outer surface of the handle of the microphone. Further, the holder comprises an approximately C-shaped portion or an approximately ring-shaped portion which matches an outer shape of the handle of the microphone. The remote controller comprises infrared-ray-emitting diodes for emitting a signal in response to a user operating the control buttons to the karaoke machine. A signal-receiving means receives the signal emitted by the signal-emitting means, the signal-receiving means then outputting a relevant signal to the karaoke machine for amplifying a voice input through the microphone, adding accompaniment to the thus-amplified voice and outputting a resulting sound.

  • Patent number: 5174328
    Abstract: In a pressure control valve having a valve body (1), a pilot poppet (7) is so mounted in the body (1) as to permit/prevent communication between a low-pressure relief port (12) and a back-pressure chamber (5), while moderated and stabilized in its opening operation so as to realize a steady relief flow of the valve, which flow depends on relief-flow properties of a relief poppet (4) so provided as to permit/prevent communication between: a pressure supply port (2); and a relief port (3). A piston poppet (8) is slidably mounted in the relief poppet (4) to extend to the back-pressure chamber (5). A cross-sectional area of the piston poppet (8) is larger than an opening area of a seat portion (6a) of a passage (6) in which the pilot poppet (7) is inserted.

  • Patent number: 4901214
    Abstract: A self-excited inverter circuit primarily includes a main transformer two switching elements e.g. the first and second (FET) switching elements, wherein capacitors at both ends of said first FET are charged during a time T.sub.1 -T.sub.2 when said first FET is turned off, and the voltage V.sub.g1 across said first FET is clamped by a charge voltage V.sub.c1 and then, a voltage V.sub.gs is applied across the gate and the source of said second FET for electrical continuity to cause the voltage to be clamped. The clamped state is maintained from T.sub.1 to T.sub.2, the saturation reactor is saturated at time T.sub.3, and V.sub.gs, which has been negative, starts to change toward O, thereby causing the first FET to change to ON; V.sub.q falls towards VPi at TP3 and further towards zero point. Thus, the voltage V.sub.q2 changes to zero to cause V.sub.gs of the second FET to become zero and the second FET to be shut off. When said voltage V.sub.q2 is clamped to a fixed value, a high -V.sub.
