Abstract: A ferrule end-surface polishing apparatus for polishing an end-surface of a ferrule for an optical fiber is provided. The apparatus includes a ferrule holder having a holder block capable of sandwiching a cylindrical portion of a ferrule, and a guide block for guiding the ferrule to the holder block; a polisher having a rotatable polishing board for polishing an axial end-surface of the ferrule held by the ferrule holder; and a ferrule transfer device for transferring and loading the ferrule into the ferrule holder, and for removing the ferrule therefrom after polishing. With this configuration, the ferrule polishing operation is automated.

Abstract: Disclosed are a program retrieval apparatus, a program video processing apparatus and a program which can retrieve a program more accurately. A control section receives an electronic program guide via a tuner or a network interface. As a sequence of characters in the electronic program guide is selected as a keyword through an operational section, the keyword is registered in a memory unit. When receiving an updated electronic program guide, the control section uses the keyword registered in the memory unit and searches programs in the electronic program guide for those programs which match with the keyword. When any program that matches with the keyword is detected, the control section displays a list of all the matched programs on an output section.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a magnet roller makes it possible to remarkably reduce defects on the surface or the inside of a magnet roller and also to control “warp” of the magnet roller sufficiently so that it does not adversely affect the functions of the magnet roller. A metal mold for magnetic field injection molding is composed of two fixed mold counterparts and a movable mold counterpart. The movable mold counterpart is moved to increase the volume of the cavity of the metal mold as a resin-bonded magnet material is injected into the mold.

Abstract: An output circuit of a semiconductor circuit has a reverse bias voltage generator which comprises a ring oscillating circuit, a reverse bias voltage generating circuit and a switching circuit. The output circuit is of the type having first and second output N-(P-)channel MOS transistors connected in series, an output terminal being provided at the intermediate position of the transistors. The ring oscillating circuit is activated for oscillation only when an ouptut enabling signal is of a zero potential indicative of disabling outputting of an input data signal. The reverse bias voltage generating circuit generates a reverse bias voltage lower (higher) than the ground potential based on the oscillation output of the oscillating circuit. The switching circuit supplies a reverse bias voltage to the gate of the first output N-(P-)channel MOS transistor only when a bias instruction signal, i.e.
