Abstract: Included are a wire supply part, a wire pulling part, a first capstan mechanism part and a second capstan mechanism part. The first capstan mechanism part includes a plurality of first capstans, a first rotation drive source and a first rotation transmission mechanism part that transmits the rotation drive force of the first rotation drive source to the respective first capstans, and the second capstan mechanism part includes a plurality of second capstans and a plurality of second rotation drive sources that rotatively drive the respective second capstans in an individually manner. Dies are provided between ones of the respective first capstans and the respective second capstans.

Abstract: An electric wire for an automobile has a core wire section and an outer circumferential wire section. The core wire section is formed by spirally winding six element wires around one element wire, where each element wire is made of stainless steel having elongation of 30% or more and tensile strength of 920 MPa or higher and the element wires have the same diameter in the range of 0.127 mm±10%. The circumferential wire section is formed by spirally winding twelve element wires around the core wire section, where the twelve element wires are wound close to each other in a single layer, each element wire is made of copper having tensile strength of 220 MPa or higher, and the element wires have the same diameter in the range of 0.127 mm±10%. The wire is light, small, strong and has good bending characteristics.

Abstract: An IC card which is facilitated in circuit configuration and program-development as well as a communication system which is improved in characteristics such as the rate of communication and the distance of communication.

Abstract: A signal line changeover circuit includes a first signal processing block having a first emitter follower for outputting a signal, a second signal processing block having a second emitter follower for outputting a signal, and a switch block having a first terminal connected to an output terminal of the first emitter follower through a first signal line, a second terminal connected to an output terminal of the second emitter follower through a second signal line, a third terminal for outputting a signal, a selection switch for alternatively connecting the first and second terminals to the third terminal, a first switch connected between the first terminal and a power line and turned on when the selection switch selects the second terminal and a second switch connected between the second terminal and the power line and turned on when the selection switch selects the first terminal.

Abstract: A color signal processing circuit for a VCR includes: an APC circuit for recording; an APC circuit for playback; a first circuit providing a color signal for recording; a second circuit providing a color signal for playback; and a switch block having a selection switch selecting one of the output signal lines of the first and second circuits to provide a color signal to the APC circuit for recording or the APC circuit for playback. In the color signal processing circuit, an emitter follower for outputting a signal are provided to each of the first and second circuits, and a switch operating in synchronization with an operation of the selection switch and providing a voltage for disabling the emitter follower of an un-selected signal line through the un-selected signal line is provided to the switch block. According to the above feature, when a signal line is selected between the signal lines by the selection switch, the un-selected signal line does not affect the other signal line and other circuits.
