Abstract: In a local cart traveling system, a frame track includes first and second metal rails each with an L-shaped cross section and facing each other. A local cart is within the frame track, and includes a first electricity receiving tire and a second electricity receiving tire to travel on horizontal travel surfaces of the rails. A voltage supplier supplies an AC voltage to the travel surfaces, so that the first metal rail and a first electricity receiving tire define a first capacitor and the second metal rail and the second electricity receiving tire define a second capacitor. The local cart includes a power receiver to receive AC power, and a travel motor that receives power after the AC power is rectified. The frame track includes a connecting plate as an electrical insulator covering portions of the surfaces of vertical walls of the first metal rail and the second metal rail.

Abstract: A flame retardant composition for rendering flammable plastics flame retardant is provided. The composition comprises a brominated flame retardant, a free-radical generator selected from 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenyl-butane or its homologs, and a phthalocyanine or naphthalocyanine complex with a metal of groups 7 to group 10 of the IUPAC periodic chart. The quantity of the brominated flame retardant may be saved when incorporating into flammable plastic materials in conjunct with the free-radical generator and the phathalocyanine or naphthalocyanine complex of the above type.

Abstract: A high frequency receiving device in accordance with the present invention includes a local oscillation circuit made up of multiple voltage-controlled oscillators. One of the oscillators is selected by a VCO selecting circuit. An oscillating signal, together with a high-frequency-received signal, is supplied to each mixer circuit. The signal outputs of the mixer circuits are supplied to respective LPFs to produce demodulated signal outputs. The cutoff frequencies of the LPFs are controlled by a cutoff frequency control circuit. A PLL is provided to correct shifts in the oscillation frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator and intermittently shift in properties of the cutoff frequency control circuit. The circuit is reduced in size, and the signals related to the adjustment of the cutoff frequencies are prevented from undesirably find a path to act as noise on the base-band signal.

Abstract: In a conventional variable-gain amplifier, when high-frequency signals are fed in, leak current flows through the collector-emitter parasitic capacitance of transistors, making it impossible to attenuate the gain sufficiently. A variable-gain amplifier of the invention has a controller for controlling the operation of input transistors so as to reduce the leak current that flows through transistors because of their collector-emitter parasitic capacitance when high-frequency signals are fed in and thereby prevent saturation of gain attenuation. Another variable-gain amplifier of the invention has a plurality of variable-gain amplifier circuits connected in parallel, and has a current control circuit for controlling the bias current sources provided within each of the variable-gain amplifier circuits so as to reduce the leak current that flows through transistors because of their collector-emitter parasitic capacitance when high-frequency signals are fed in and thereby prevent saturation of gain attenuation.
