  • Publication number: 20230112283
    Abstract: Provided is a positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the active material including a lithium-transition metal composite oxide containing lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, having a layered structure, having a ratio D50/DSEM of from 1 to 4, and having a ratio of a number of moles of nickel to a total number of moles of metals other than lithium of greater than 0.8 and less than 1, a ratio of a number of moles of cobalt to the total number of moles of metals other than lithium of less than 0.2, a ratio of a number of moles of manganese to the total number of moles of metals other than lithium of less than 0.2, and a ratio of the number of moles of manganese to a sum of the number of moles of cobalt and the number of moles of manganese of less than 0.58.

  • Publication number: 20100066908
    Abstract: A sync separation section separates an external horizontal synchronizing signal from an input video signal. A line locked PLL receives the external horizontal synchronizing signal as a reference signal and generates an internal horizontal synchronizing signal. A determination section computes a time integral value of a phase difference between the external horizontal synchronizing signal and the internal horizontal synchronizing signal and determines whether or not the time integral value exceeds a threshold value. A control section performs the control of switching an output frequency of the line locked PLL based on a determination result from the determination section.

  • Publication number: 20100020243
    Abstract: In a video signal processor (10), a video signal is given to a video input terminal (101) via a coupling capacitor (200). A clamp circuit (104) clamps the video signal input via the video input terminal (101). A format detector section (105) detects a format of the video signal. A controller section (107) changes power supply capability of the clamp circuit (104) according to a detection result of the format detector section (105).
