Patent number: 10097929Abstract: When, in conventional sound systems, signals of sounds collected by a microphone are amplified and the amplified signals are applied to an ear by an earphone and a headphone, too loud sounds and environmental noises are unpleasant, and the intelligibility of words are poor. Hence, such problems are to be addressed. In addition, downsizing and performance improvement for sound apparatuses are to be accomplished. A signal having undergone an amplitude limitation with reference to an output potential of a high cut filter 17 which is an output by a low cut filter 12 in a high frequency band and inverted by an inverter 14 is added with, by an adder 15, an output signal from the high cut filter 17, and an addition signal is output.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Large. incInventor: Kenichi Oshima

Publication number: 20100330267Abstract: A production method of the present invention includes steps of: (a) obtaining a first electrode plate precursor 1 by applying an electrode active material onto at least one of surfaces of a long strip-shaped current collector so as to form an active material layer, (b) rolling an electrode plate precursor so that the active material layer has a predetermined thickness, and (c) obtaining plural strips of electrode plates by cutting the rolled electrode plate precursor to a desired width. In the step (a), non-application portions onto which an active material is not applied are formed on both edges of the electrode plate precursor in the width direction. The step (d) of removing the non-application portions is carried out simultaneously with the step (c). Accordingly, it is possible to improve production efficiency and reduce material losses by decreasing quality defects that occur in the step of rolling the electrode plate precursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventors: Kyoushige Shimizu, Kenichi Oshima, Hideo Hori
