Abstract: A wavelength conversion plate includes a conversion region and a reflection region on a base surface. The conversion region includes a wavelength conversion member configured to receive excitation light and generate a color different from a color of the excitation light. The reflection region is configured to reflect the excitation light. The reflection region includes a transmissive diffusion surface, a transmissive layer, and a reflection surface. The transmissive diffusion surface is configured to diffuse the excitation light. The transmissive layer is configured to transmit the excitation light. The reflection surface is configured to reflect the excitation light. The transmissive diffusion surface is in a position separate from a surface closer to the base surface, of the wavelength conversion member, toward a direction from which the excitation light is incident.

Abstract: A light-source device includes an excitation light source, an optical member, and a wavelength converter. The excitation light source is configured to emit first color light. The optical member has a reflecting surface configured to reflect the first color light emitted from the excitation light source. The wavelength converter includes a wavelength conversion member on which the first color light reflected by the optical member is incident. The wavelength conversion member is configured to convert at least part of the first color light into second color light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first color light and emit the second color light. A center of the first color light on the reflecting surface of the optical member does not intersect with a light flux of the first color light emitted from the wavelength converter.

Abstract: A touch panel device comprises a resistance material on which a potential gradient is formed extended along an X axis, a contact electrode to be pushed to contact with the resistance material, a potential supplying unit for selectively supplying to the contact electrode via a resistance via at least two kinds of potentials one by one, a potential detecting unit for detecting the potential at the contact electrode, and a pushed position detecting unit for detecting a X coordinate of the pushed position based on the potential detected by the potential detecting unit when the potentials are supplied thereto by the potential supplying unit.

Abstract: In a digital signal reproducing apparatus having a head on a rotating drum for reproducing a digital signal which includes information data and which was recorded on a magnetic tape running at a speed different from the tape speed during reproducing of the digital signal therefrom; the tape speed and the drum rotation speed are detected during reproducing and corresponding tape speed and drum speed signals, resectively, are generated, a clock signal is formed from the digital signal reproduced by the head and is used in decoding the information data from the reproduced digital signal, and a control device receives the tape speed and drumspeed signals for controlling the drum speed in accordance with the tape speed when the tape speed is at least as large as a first value and for maintaning a fixed drum speed while changing the clock signal in accordance with the tape speed when the tape speed is at least as large as a second value greater than the first value.

Abstract: A digital code modulation circuit converts input data formed of sequentially received serial data into parallel data such that each parallel data has input data for reference in both preceding and following parallel data, and thereupon applies a code conversion to the parallel data and thereby executes modulation of the input data in parallel. Conversely, a digital code demodulation circuit applies a code conversion to input data formed of serial data sequentially input thereto to form parallel data such that each parallel data has input data for reference in both the preceding and following parallel data and thereby executes demodulation of the input data in parallel.

Abstract: Apparatus controls the torque applied by a motor to a reel, such as the supply reel of a video tape recorder, so that the tape drawn from such supply reel by a tape transport system is transported with a substantially constant tape tension. The apparatus includes a device for detecting the rotational speed of the supply reel and for generating an output signal, for example, in the form of a voltage the value of which varies with a change in the rotational speed and which has a rate of change corresponding to the rate of the change of the rotational speed. A device receives the output signal from the rotational speed detecting device and generates a motor control signal which varies in response to changes in the output signal, with the relationship of the variation of the motor control signal to the variation of the output signal being dependent upon the rate of change of the output signal.
