  • Patent number: 5210659
    Abstract: A video signal recording apparatus equipped with circuits to record a time code signal and a control signal relative to a tape position at a speed higher than a normal recording speed, whereby the time required for recording such signals can be widely shortened to reduce the time of the editing operation, hence enhancing the operational efficiency. Furthermore, the frequency of a bias signal is set to be higher than recordable signal frequencies determined in accordance with the normal tape speed, so that undesired generation of noise that may otherwise be derived from such bias signal can be prevented during the reproduction.

  • Patent number: 4881201
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor nonvolatile memory, a booster circuit which generates a high voltage required for writing the data into said semiconductor nonvolatile memory, and a control circuit. With the thus constructed device, however, various external control signals often fail to assume definite levels when the power source is closed. If an operation mode to be designated is erroneously determined to be a write operation mode due to obscure levels of the external control signals, then the write operation is executed erroneously. To prevent such an eronneous operation from developing when the power source is closed, provision is made of a power souce closure detector circuit and a suitable gate circuit. Owing to these circuits, the output of the booster circuit is prevented from being applied to the memory element from the time from when the power source circuit is closed up to the time when the read operation mode is designated by an external control signal.

  • Patent number: 4866478
    Abstract: A slit exposure type illuminating device mainly applicable to a color electrophotographic copier and using a plurality of lamps includes a single reflector which is provided with a plurality of openings for inserting the lamps. The lamps are arranged in an array along the length of the reflector. One of the lamps is positioned on an optical axis which extends through the center of the reflector with respect to the lengthwise direction of the reflector. The lamps are divided into a first and a second lamp groups in each of which they are arranged symmetrically with respect to the optical axis and individually spaced by predetermined distances from the optical axis. Current is fed either independently or simultaneously to the two different lamp groups. The openings of the reflector are each so adjustable in position and dimension as to prevent the bulb of each lamp from intercepting light.

  • Patent number: 4840304
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing the butt-welded cans comprises the steps of applying a 0.5 to 3.5 .mu.m thick organic resin film for preventing the adhesion of melted metal particles to at least a 1-mm-wide region from the butt-weld portion edge of at least the inner surface of a steel plate can blank, and butt-welding the edges of the can blank by the use of a laser, or alternatively applying a 0.5 to 7.0.mu.m thick organic resin film, butting the edges of the can blank, and laser-welding the butted edges while a cooling device is brought into contact with the butted edges from the inner side of each can. In this case, it is preferred that the coating material having high thermal decomposition resistance is applied to the whole outer surface of each can, and the weld portion is then butt-welded by means of a CO.sub.2 laser.

  • Patent number: 4760427
    Abstract: An exposing apparatus for use in a color copier in which reflection light from an original image mounted on an original mounting plate thereof and illuminated with white light is passed through three color separation filters which are inserted, in sequence, into an optical path of a common focussing system of said copier, and color-separated images obtained from said filters are focussed in sequence on a common image plane. Transparent flat plates having thicknesses suitable to correct optical path lengths for the respective color-separated lights such that effective value of focussing optical path lengths of a focussing element of the focussing system for the respective color-separated lights become equal to a distance of the focussing system between a plane of the original and the image plane are inserted into the focussing optical path in sequence in synchronism with the sequential insertion of the color separating filters into the optical path.
