Abstract: A transmission apparatus of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for multiplexing a plurality of carriers orthogonal to one another to transmit a modulated signal. The transmission apparatus includes a first modulator for outputting a code modulated in accordance a modulation scheme which can be applied with a synchronous detection for demodulation, a second modulator for outputting a code modulated in accordance with a modulation scheme different from the modulation scheme associated with the first modulator, and a distributing circuit for distributing the codes modulated by the first and second modulators to a plurality of carriers. The distributing circuit distributes the code modulated by the second modulator to all or some of carriers existing within a predetermined number of columns from at least one of both end regions of a signal transmission frequency band, and the code modulated by the first modulator to the remaining carriers.

Abstract: The etching composition of the invention is capable of simultaneously etching the films of a three-layered laminate film comprising an uppermost amorphous transparent electrode film made of IZO, etc., an intermediate reflective electrode film made of Al, etc. and a lowermost galvanic corrosion-inhibiting film made of Mo, etc. or a two-layered laminate film comprising an upper amorphous transparent electrode film and a lower reflective electrode film by a sole use thereof in a single etching operation to provide an etched laminate film having an edge of a good normal-tapered or stepwise shape. The etching composition comprises an aqueous water containing 30 to 40% by weight of phosphoric acid, 15 to 35% by weight of nitric acid, an organic acid and a cation-generating component.

Abstract: A drive unit for an optical memory device includes a casing having an insertion slot which is formed in a front section and through which a medium cartridge is inserted into an interior of the casing. A front cover member movably covers the insertion slot of the casing, and includes first and second covers which are rotatable around respective first and second rotation shafts. The first front cover has a distal end which is situated on an outer side of the casing when the insertion slot is closed, the second front cover has a distal end which is situated on an inner side of the casing when the insertion slot is closed, and the second front cover is rotated with a radius of rotation which differs from that of said first front cover.

Abstract: A drive unit for use in an optical memory unit has a front panel, a drive mechanism, and sealing members. The front panel has an air vent and a slot for allowing passage of a cassette case containing a disk-shaped recording medium. The drive mechanism loads the cassette case through the slot and drive the recording medium in a specified direction in order to record and reproduce information on and from the recording medium. The sealing members seals the drive mechanism nearly completely, in order to prevent migration of the outside air into the drive mechanism as the air is introduced via the air vent.

Abstract: An information recording apparatus has first and second openings arranged near a field coil and flow guides beside the openings, so that an air current generated by a rotation of the medium is circulated through a space between a field coil and the information recording medium, as well as a space formed on an upper portion of said field coil. In the apparatus, an optical pick up is locked with respect to reckless stoppers with a space. Also, a field holder is arranged to be separated from a cassette case holder, but when the cassette case holder is moved in a horizontal direction and then in a perpendicular direction to be mounted on a turn table, the field holder is made to face the information recording medium. This arrangement prevents overheating and improves durability.

Abstract: A printing-plate making apparatus is constructed such that a mode selecting switch adapted to change a master supplying process depending on properties of a master X is disposed on a housing 1 of the printing-plate making apparatus and various conditions, e.g., a master supplying process, locking member 4 for a master supplying roller 3, a temperature preset for a panel heater 33 and a compressing force given by press rollers 35a and 35b are automatically changed to optimal conditions corresponding to masters selected by the mode selecting switch. The printing-plate making apparatus is provided with a master heating switch on the housing 1 of the printing-plate making apparatus and when the master heating switch is actuated, applying of a certain voltage to at least a charger is stopped so that the panel heater 33 arranged at a fixing step is kept in the heated state so as to serve as a master heating unit.
