Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for making it easy to understand the contents of sound during special reproduction. Herein, the MPEG multiple separation circuit separates digital data read out from the optical disk into audio data and video data, the sound recognition text conversion circuit converts audio data decoded in the MPEG audio decoder into text data by sound recognition, and the on-screen character processor generates video signals in which the characters representing text data are displayed, being overlapped with reproduced images. In case of special reproduction such as double-speed reproduction, the characters representing text data are displayed, being overlapped with special reproduced images.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit for reducing standby power by converting low power outputted from an AC power supply into DC power. The standby power redundancy circuit of the invention reduces standby power by receiving AC power through a reactance device, receiving remote control data from a remote control, connecting a microcomputer for exclusive use for a standby power supply to a first side of an AC power supply, and then reducing the power consumption of a main microcomputer of a main body of a set to ‘0’ using the micro computer.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium having an excellent sliding durability, and including a magnetic layer of a metal magnetic thin film formed on a non-magnetic support body and a carbon protection film formed on the magnetic layer. Recording and/or reproduction is carried out by sliding a magnetic head. The carbon protection film shows, in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectrum analysis using an argon ion laser having a wavelength of 514.5 nm, an intensity ratio A/B of 2 or above for a main peak intensity A appearing in the vicinity of wave number 1550 cm.sup.-1 with respect to a background intensity B.

Abstract: A flame-retardant olefinic resin composition comprising(A) 100 parts by weight of a mixed resin consisting of an olefinic resin and a silane-grafted polymer obtained by grafting a silane to said olefinic resin,(B) 50 to 300 parts by weight of a hydrated metal compound, and(C) 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of a dicarboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid anhydride derivative.

Abstract: A flame-retardant olefinic resin composition comprising (1) 100 parts by weight of an ethylenic polymer resin mixture having an average density of 0.890 to 0.915 g/cm.sup.3, of (a) an ethylenic polymer consisting mainly of an ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer and (b) a silane-grafted polymer obtained by grafting a silane to at least one component of said ethylenic polymer (a), and (2) 50 to 300 parts by weight of a hydrated metal compound.

Abstract: A leader tape for a magnetic recording tape having a coating layer consisting of a binder and a white pigment. A surface resistivity of the coating layer is less than 10.sup.12 ohms/sq. and a transmissivity of the leader tape is more than 20 percent.This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 244,421, filed Apr. 17, 1972, now abandoned.
