Patent number: 6081537Abstract: A signal trap device and method for trapping a desired FM signal out of a frequency multiplexed signal where a plurality of FM signals are included in a frequency multiplexed form. A replay signal reproduced from a video cassette tape is supplied directly to a subtracter while being fed to a fixed delay circuit and a variable delay circuit to be delayed therein by a predetermined delay time. The delayed signal is supplied also to the subtracter, which then subtracts the delayed signal from the reproduced replay signal and outputs the result of such subtraction therefrom. The delay time of the fixed delay circuit is set to correspond to the center frequency of the carrier of the desired FM signal to be trapped. Meanwhile the delay time of the variable delay circuit is so set as to correspond to the signal obtained by demodulating the desired FM signal. Thus, the desired FM signal can be trapped properly without any harmful influence on the other FM signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1997Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Masayasu Kaneko, Tsutomu Mikami

Patent number: 5598227Abstract: A television camera/recorder comprises a television camera unit for converting a scene into corresponding electrical signals, and a VTR for recording the electrical signals provided by the television camera unit and reproducing the recorded electrical signals. The signals reproduced by the VTR are converted into carrier television signals by an internal RF converter, and the carrier television signals are sent to an external television receiver through a first output jack connected by a cord to the external television receiver. The television camera/recorder may be additionally provided with an adapter capable of being detachably connected to a case containing the television camera unit, the VTR unit and the RF converter and provided with a second output jack capable of being connected to the first output jack provided on the case when the adapter is joined to the case.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1993Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tsutomu Mikami, Masayasu Kaneko, Yoshiharu Murase

Patent number: 4513311Abstract: A processing circuit for a composite color television signal formed of a chrominance component and a luminance component includes a comb filter of the type including a 1H delay line. In order to process the chrominance component, the comb filter is followed by an operational circuit providing a difference signal representing vertical correlation of the input chrominance component for consecutive line intervals, and a feedback loop circuit for combining the input chrominance component with the feedback difference signal before application to the comb filter. A detecting circuit detects correlation of video information in the luminance component in vertically aligned portions of successive horizontal line intervals, and provides a detecting signal which is used to adjust the feedback loop gain on the feedback loop circuit in accordance with the detecting signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1982Date of Patent: April 23, 1985Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Jun Hirai, Masayasu Kaneko
