Abstract: A lubricant member of a preferred embodiment of the invention is formed, into a stick-shaped body longer in a lengthwise direction than in a diametrical direction, of a mixture including at least a polyamide resin as a thermoplastic resin, an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, and lubricant oil. A film made mainly of the polyamide resin is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the lubricant member. At the inner side of the film, fibrous crystals of the polyamide resin and the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene extend in the lengthwise direction of the lubricant member, and multiple pores are formed. With this structure, the lubricant member is produced with excellent workability without sacrificing the mechanical strength and the lubricating property.

Abstract: When an image data to be displayed is held in a cache memory 602, an image output apparatus 101 reads out the image data from the cache memory 602 and displays the read image data (S61, S65). When the image data is not held in the cache memory 602, the image output apparatus reads out the image data from a recording medium 603 and displays the read image data (S63, S62, S65). After the user selects a date folder 1202, the image output apparatus 103 searches and extracts image data and displays a list of the image data 1222 pertaining to the date folder (step 1104). The image output apparatus 103 assigns image data to be printed out to other image output apparatus 103 and requests image data printout. The other image output apparatus 103 convey printed items to the image output apparatus having received the order (apparatus having requested the printout) using a conveyer 215.

Abstract: A helical scan type video signal recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a rotary body mounted with a pair of rotary magnetic heads at positions having an angular separation of approximately 180.degree. on a rotational plane of the rotary body so that the pair of rotary magnetic heads have mutually different height positions along an axial direction of the rotary body, a mechanism for intermittently transporting a magnetic tape which is wrapped obliquely around a peripheral surface of the rotary drum for a predetermined angular range, and a circuit for successively recording and reproducing while the magnetic tape is stationary video signals each amounting to one field on and from a pair of successive tracks by the pair of rotary magnetic heads in time lapse recording and reproducing modes.

Abstract: A color video signal dubbing system comprises a reproducing apparatus and a recording apparatus. The recorded signal is a multiplexed signal of a frequency-modulated luminance signal obtained as the result that a luminance signal separated from the color video signal frequency-modulates a carrier wave to occupy a predetermined frequency band and a frequency-converted carrier chrominance signal obtained by frequency-converting a carrier chrominance signal having a color burst signal which is separated from the color video signal to a band lower than that of the predetermined frequency band.

Abstract: A system for controlling the rotation of a motor comprises a detector for detecting the rotation of the motor, frequency discriminator for frequency discriminating the output of the detector, a loop filter comprising resistors and a capacitor which lowers the high-frequency components of the output signal of the frequency discriminator, a switching circuit which is connected to the output side of the loop filter, the switching circuit grounding the output side of the loop filter and discharging the capacitor of the loop filter in a state before starting of the high-speed rotation of the motor, and non-grounding the loop filter in a state in which the motor is undergoing high-speed rotation, and a motor driving circuit which drives the motor in accordance with the output signal of the loop filter through the switching circuit.
