Abstract: The present invention provides a resin composition which is a composition of 30 to 99.5 wt. % of an aromatic polycarbonate and 70 to 0.5 wt. % of a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoroacetone copolymeric elastomer.This resin composition is excellent in moldability and processability, heat resistance and impact resistance, and useful as an engineering plastic.

Abstract: Apparatus for synchronizing playback rates of a plurality of music sources includes a reference generator generating a reference signal including beats, a music source producing a music signal representative of music, a discriminating circuit operative in response to the music signal for extracting beats involved in the music signal to produce a beat signal representative of the extracted beats, and control circuitry interconnected to the reference generator and music source for determining the time difference between the occurrence of beats involved in the reference signal and the occurrence of the beat signal to regulate the music source so as to make the time difference substantially constant. The music source will thereby produce the music signal with a phase difference of the beats involved in the music signal substantially constant with respect to the beats involved in the reference signal.

Abstract: A loud-speaker of a closed or a bass-reflex type, wherein a plurality of speaker units are intensively arranged behind an opening of a baffle board or a throat of a sounding horn with the sound wave radiating direction thereof being concentrated toward the center axis of the opening of throat, and the total area of the entire diaphragms of the speaker units is made substantially equal to, or larger than, the area of the opening or throat.
