Abstract: [Problem] To enable the desired number of channels to be listened to at a lower cost and without wasting resources. [Solution] Process multi-channel digital audio signals by coordinating between a plurality of AV amp devices 1. An operation terminal 5 assigns audio channels to be processed, to each AV amp device 1, and, on the basis of the signal processing time for each AV amp device 1, determines an output delay time for each AV amp device 1 so that the output timing for analog audio signals matches for all AV amp devices 1. Each AV amp device 1 decodes input digital audio signals into analog audio signals for audio channels assigned to that AV amp device 1 by the operation terminal 5 and delays the output of the decoded analog audio signal, by the output delay time for that AV amp device 1 determined by the operation terminal 5.

Abstract: The thermostat device includes a housing including a first flow inlet that receives a coolant from a radiator, a second flow inlet that receives a coolant through a bypass passage, and a flow outlet of coolant in which each coolant is mixed; a thermo-element that is accommodated in the housing and moves in an axial direction depending on a temperature of the coolant from the second flow inlet; a control valve that controls amount of the coolant introduced from the first flow inlet as the thermo-element moves; a valve seat that is formed at a tip portion of an annular protrusion formed to protrude in a moving axis direction of the thermo-element in the housing and with which the control valve is in contact in a valve-closed state; and an annular groove formed by an annular gap provided outside of the valve seat and continuous in a circumferential direction.

Abstract: A thermostat device ensures a coolant amount from a bypass passage sufficiently and excellent temperature sensitivity to the coolant temperature. The thermo-operating unit is provided with a control valve for controlling an introduced coolant amount from a first flow inlet via a radiator, corresponding to the temperature of the coolant from a second flow inlet via a bypass passage. Within the housing are provided multiple guides, which are formed extending from the second flow inlet side toward a thermo-element, are arranged intermittently around the thermo-element, and support the thermo-element slidably movable in an axial direction and coolant rectifying protrusions arranged spaced apart from the thermo-element between the guides, wherein a detoured passage for the coolant, directed from the second flow inlet side toward an outflow port, is formed by forming gaps between the guides and the coolant rectifying protrusions.

Abstract: A modulated data signal is generated so as to change such that a length of a data period indicative of a timing of writing of the gradation voltage signal to each of the pixel portions becomes a length according to a distance from the data driver to each of the pixel portions. The timing control unit writes a video data signal to a memory at a timing according to a data period of the video data signal. The timing control unit reads the video data signal from the memory at a timing according to a period as a result of correction of a data period of the modulated data signal on the basis of a difference between an average value of lengths of the data periods of the video data signals and an average value of lengths of the data periods of the modulated data signals.

The block outer peripheral wall includes a coolant inlet for introducing a coolant into the water jacket at one end in a cylinder row direction. The spacer includes a peripheral wall surrounding the block inner peripheral wall, and a dividing wall and a distribution wall provided on the peripheral wall. The dividing wall is provided along a circumferential direction of the peripheral wall and protrudes outward from the peripheral wall between a lower end and an upper end of the coolant inlet. The distribution wall includes an upper distribution wall extending upward from the dividing wall and a lower distribution wall extending downward from the dividing wall.

Abstract: An engine cooling structure includes a cylinder block including a block inner peripheral wall that defines a water jacket and a block outer peripheral wall, a spacer housed in the water jacket, and a cooler provided outside the engine body. The spacer includes: a peripheral wall surrounding the block inner peripheral wall; and a dividing wall protruding from the peripheral wall to divide the water jacket into an upper passage and lower passages below the upper passage. A coolant introduced from a coolant inlet into the upper passage passes through an inter-bore part of the block inner peripheral wall. The coolant in the lower passages is introduced into the cooler through a coolant exit.

Abstract: A measurement area selection circuit has an irradiation field determination unit, an object area determination unit, and a measurement area determination unit. The irradiation field determination unit determines an irradiation field of an imaging surface of an FPD. The object area determination unit determines an object area from a comparison result between a first expected received dose of a directly exposed area and dose detection signals of detection pixels situated in the irradiation field. The measurement area determination unit determines a measurement area, which corresponds to a region of interest, from a comparison result between a second expected received dose of the measurement area and the dose detection signals of the detection pixels situated in the irradiation area and the object area. The dose detection signals of the detection pixels situated in the measurement area are used for AEC.

Abstract: A flat panel detector (FPD) includes an imaging panel having pixels arranged in a matrix, a gate driver for turning thin film transistors (TFTs) of the pixels ON and OFF, a radiation detecting section for detecting the start of x-ray radiation from the x-ray source, and a controller. The controller controls the gate driver to turn the TFTs ON periodically to reset dark charges of the pixels. Before starting a charge accumulating operation for accumulating signal charges for imaging, the controller controls the gate driver to turn the TFTs OFF so that the radiation detecting section may detect the start of x-ray radiation on the basis of charge leaks from the pixels. When the start of x-ray radiation is detected, the controller starts the charge accumulating operation while keeping the TFTs in the OFF condition. Thereafter, the TFTs are turned ON to read out the accumulated signal charges.
