Abstract: A calculating part acquires a current position from an acquiring part. The calculating part searches for the position of a charging facility in charging facility information within a retaining part on the basis of the acquired current position, and specifies the charging facility for a next charging. The calculating part calculates a charging time based on a charged amount and a charging capacity of the specified charging facility. A selecting part selects peripheral facilities presented to a user based on calculated charging time and a standard time indicating an average time spent on using each peripheral facility registered in association with the specified charging facility retained in the retaining part, and displays the information regarding the selected peripheral facilities on the display part. Thus, assistance can be provided for the effective use of the time needed to charge a storage cell onboard a moving body at a charging facility.

Abstract: An information recording medium (100) records a plurality of streams (1021) corresponding to a respective plurality of classified devices and each including data used for selectively displaying an image of the same content and device classification information (2100) indicating each of classifications of the devices to which the respective plurality of streams are made correspond.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus that does not include a plurality of switches, that cross-connects a signal, and that can handle various redundancy settings determined by a user. An address information generation section generates address information indicative of the destination of a signal, from redundancy setting information and cross connect setting information. An activation information setting section activates and deactivates activation information included in the address information when failure occurs. An address information insertion section inserts the address information stored in an address information storage section into the signal and outputs the signal to a bus. A signal output section receives the signal having the address information that is the same as own address information and outputs the signal to a next stage in the case of the activation information indicating activation.

Abstract: A redundant changeover apparatus causing no frame synchronization loss even upon occurrence of changeover between working system and protection system. In case of an in-apparatus synchronization system, when two input signals which are mutually asynchronous in phase are changed over by a changeover switch, a changeover switch, a clock extractor, a PLL circuit, and a clock changing portion transmit signals with clocks before the changeover being gradually changed to clocks after the changeover. Alternatively, in case of an in-apparatus synchronize system, data are separated from clocks so that the data are once changed to data with reference clocks, and then for the data, clocks before the changeover are gradually changed to clocks after the changeover.

Abstract: The present invention provides a receiver apparatus for receiving digital data in which stuff data have been inserted by stuffing synchronization. The receiver apparatus has a memory unit having a plurality of memory cells. The digital data other than the stuff data are written in the memory unit in synchronization with a write clock signal, and read from the memory cell in synchronization with a read clock signal. The cycle of the read clock signal is adjusted on the basis of an interval from a reading address to an writing address of the memory cell.

Abstract: An oscillating piston type compressor has a piston formed integral with a blade. The compressor accommodates in a casing a compression mechanism section and a motor section, the mechanism including the piston having a plate-shaped blade integrally formed on a cylindrical portion is fitted onto an eccentric portion of a crankshaft to perform orbital motion relative to an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder, the plate-shaped blade being formed at its radial end surface with a recess or a protrusion, which serves as a reference of position.

Abstract: A scroll compressor has an Oldhams ring made of sintered metal operating as a rotation-prevention mechanism for holding the rotation scroll. The Oldhams ring is formed to a size to accommodate the cutting work or the grinding work of the surface processing during the forming of the sintered metal, and, as a result, the productivity of the Oldhams ring can be improved and the wear resistance becomes excellent. A scroll compressor that is inexpensive and has a high reliability may be made of a hard sintered metal which has an excellent wear resistance. A first groove 3a and the second groove 3b are formed in the end face 3 of the ring 2 of the Oldhams ring into the sintered metal. And, after the processing, the first groove 3a is deepest, and the depth is progressively reduced in order of the second groove 3b and the end face 3 in the Oldhams ring. The wear on the corner part of the tool, which is easiest to wear being used to process the side face of the keys is reduced due to the presence of these grooves.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image displaying apparatus includes: field switching signal generating unit for generating a field switching signal alternately indicating odd field periods and even field periods from an original picture signal; delaying unit for delaying the original picture signal and producing a delayed picture signal; stereoscopic image signal generating unit for alternately selecting one of the original picture signal and the delayed picture signal in accordance with the field switching signal to generate a stereoscopic image signal; and display unit for displaying the stereoscopic image signal by alternately supplying pictures of the original picture signal to one eye of a user and pictures of the delayed picture signal to the other eye of the user on the basis of the field switching signal.

Abstract: A sense amplifier in a semiconductor memory device comprising a differential pair of bipolar transistors whose bases are supplied with read signals appearing on a pair of common data lines pulled up to the side of a positive power source potential, a regulated current circuit which causes a constant current to flow from the common emitters of the pair of bipolar transistors, as well as regulated current circuits which bias the respective bases of the pair of bipolar transistors to the side of a negative power source potential, and a control circuit which switches and controls the respective regulated current circuits in accordance with the select state of the sense amplifier, and also comprising saturation preventive circuits which cause minute currents to flow from the respective bases of the pair of bipolar transistors toward the negative power source potential, so that the bipolar transistors are avoided from falling into saturated states when the regulated current circuits are turned "off," thereby making
