Abstract: A battery provided in a vehicle and configured to supply electric power is cooled down by coolant the heat of which is exchanged with the heat of external air by a radiator. The radiator is provided near the battery and performs heat-exchange between the coolant and the external air taken in through introduction holes provided on a bottom face of the vehicle. Thus, even in a case where the radiator is provided in a vehicle floor portion so that the battery is upsized, it is possible to restrain a coolant pipe from being elongated. This accordingly makes it possible to improve mountability to the vehicle.

Abstract: A film forming method includes preparing a substrate having an amorphous silicon film on a surface thereof, diffusing nickel into the amorphous silicon film by supplying a nickel source gas to the amorphous silicon film, and forming a polycrystalline silicon film by heating the amorphous silicon film, and crystallizing the amorphous silicon film by metal-induced lateral crystallization using the nickel diffused in the amorphous silicon film as a nucleus.

Abstract: A structure for attaching a brake fluid pressure generator to a vehicle. The brake fluid pressure generator is attached to a dash panel provided at the rear side of a damper housing, which divides a compartment of a vehicle into a cabin and an engine room. An installation hole, through which the brake fluid pressure generator is inserted, is formed on the dash panel to one side of the engine. A mounter, which accommodates at least part of the brake fluid pressure generator, is used for detachably attaching the brake fluid pressure generator to the dash panel from the cabin side. Thereby, part of the brake fluid pressure generator is positioned at the rear side of the dash panel, and the outline of the brake fluid pressure generator is positioned so that it might overlap the damper housing when viewed from the fore side direction with respect to the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an attaching structure of a brake fluid pressure generator on the vehicle. This brake fluid pressure generator is attached to a dash panel provided at near the rear side of a damper housing, by which a compartment of a vehicle is divided into a cabin and an engine room.

Abstract: A set of first and second detecting units detects an emergency. First and second pseudo-emergency generating units generate a pseudo-emergency for the first and second detecting units. A driving unit alternately drives the first and second pseudo-emergency generating units. An abnormality detecting unit detects operation of the first and second detecting units detecting the pseudo-emergency from the first and second pseudo-emergency generating units, the abnormality detecting units performing a predetermined indication when thus-detected operation is abnormal. An emergency detection outputting unit, in an emergency, outputs an emergency detection signal in response to reception of emergency detection signals from both the first and second detecting units.

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette apparatus is disclosed which has a pair of electromagnetic data transducers mounted to a rotary drum to make up a rotary head assembly for data transfer with the magnetic tape. For electrically connecting each transducer to a recording amplifier circuit and a reproducing amplifier circuit, a transformer is employed which comprises a rotary winding mounted to the rotary drum, and two fixed windings electromagnetically coupled to the rotary winding. The two fixed windings are connected respectively to the recording amplifier circuit and the reproducing amplifier circuit. In another embodiment the transformer comprises one rotary winding and one center tapped fixed winding. The two sections of the fixed winding, electrically divided by the center tap, are connected respectively to the recording amplifier circuit and to the reproducing amplifier circuit.

Abstract: A record and playback system comprises a signal source such as a video camera, a recording apparatus such as a VTR, and a control circuit device connected between the signal source and the recording apparatus. The control circuit device sends one or a few frames selected from a plurality of still picture frames to the successive frames of a composite picture signal given from the signal source to the recording apparatus, as well as sends a signal showing the total time length of a number of still picture frames. As a result, it is possible to record much and various picture information on a small volume of a record medium.

Abstract: A video tape recorder having provisions for erasing a desired fraction of each frame of a composite picture signal on a magnetic tape and for recording substitute picture information on the erased fractions, thereby making it possible to split the screen into two windows for the simultaneous display of different images. Included is a window size input device to be operated upon by the user for specifying a desired fraction of each frame of the composite picture signal recorded on the tape. A frame fraction signal generator circuit responds to the output from the window size input device, as well as to horizontal and vertical sync pulses derived from the composite picture signal being reconstructed from the tape, for generating a frame fraction signal indicative in real time of the specified fraction of each frame of the composite picture signal to be erased from the tape.
