Abstract: An electrical load controller that controls the starting sequence for a plurality of electrical loads includes a start demanding unit that generates a demand to start at least one of the plurality of electrical loads. A first electrical load is started immediately if the time between when a second electrical load start and when the second electrical load receives a signal indicating that the first electrical load will start (second prescribed time) is longer than the time required to send the signal between the first and second electrical loads (third prescribed time), and the time required for an inrush current to decrease to a prescribed value (first prescribed time) is less than the difference between the second prescribed time and the third prescribed time. Thus, there is sufficient time for the inrush current of the first electrical load to decrease before starting the second electrical load.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor device layer, a multilayered wiring section formed of a plurality of wiring layers and a plurality of interlayer insulating films on one surface of the semiconductor device layer, an external connection electrode formed on one of the plurality of wiring layers, and an opening formed in a concave shape extending from the semiconductor device layer to the multilayered wiring section so as to expose a surface of the external connection electrode; the opening has a larger opening diameter at an end farther from the external connection electrode than at the other end closer to the external connection electrode.

Abstract: An FM radio receiver includes an antenna. A high frequency signal received by the antenna ranges from an FM radio broadcast band to a television broadcast band assigned to higher frequencies. An LPF has an attenuated area corresponding to a television channel at a frequency higher out of two television channels causing intermodulation interference with the FM radio broadcast band. A part of the frequency component constituting the high frequency signal received by the antenna is extracted by the LPF. A mixer mixes a high frequency signal having the frequency component extracted by the LPF with a local oscillation frequency signal to thereby output an intermediate frequency signal. A demodulator circuit creates an audio signal for an FM radio broadcast on the basis of the intermediate frequency signal output from the mixer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dielectric duplexer 10 comprising a receiving filter 1 and a transmitting filter 2 which are connected in parallel with an antenna connecting terminal portion 17, and both the filters 1, 2 are integrally assembled into a common dielectric block 11. A trap circuit 8 for suppressing a predetermined frequency band different from the receiving band of the receiving filter 1 and from the transmission band of the transmitting filter 2 is integrally assembled into the dielectric block 11 along with the filters 1, 2, and is connected to the antenna connecting terminal portion 17.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a three-dimensional display panel capable of viewing a three-dimensional image without using special glasses. The three-dimensional display panel comprises an image display panel having a column of right eye pixels arranged with predetermined spacing in the longitudinal direction on a screen and a column of left eye pixels arranged with predetermined spacing in the longitudinal direction on the screen and so adapted that the column of right eye pixels and the column of left eye pixels are arranged alternately in close proximity to each other in the horizontal direction on the screen and are shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction on the screen to ensure a region where means for switching the respective pixels is formed, and image separating means for separating light from the right eye pixels and light from the left eye pixels to be respectively incident on the right eye and the left eye of a viewer.
