Abstract: In a double row automatic center adjusting roller bearing at least one of the raceway surfaces of an inner race and an outer race and a rolling surface of a roller is worked to have different surface roughnesses along the axial direction of the roller bearing. For the inner race having a pair of inner raceway surfaces, in each inner raceway surface, a contact surface portion which is in contact with the rollers at a bearing center side is formed to have smaller surface roughness than that of a contact surface portion which is in contact with the rollers at a bearing side surface side to thereby prevent the generation of a large negative skew angle of the roller.

Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus executing the redistributing operation of refrigerant when the actual suction pressure of a compressor is lower than a suction pressure lower limit value. The suction pressure lower limit value is varied in response to the condensation temperature of refrigerant which varies in accordance with the actual temperature in the vicinity of a condenser. When the condensation temperature of refrigerant is greater than a predetermined comparison value, a first limit value is selected as the suction pressure lower limit value. Otherwise, a second limit value less than the first limit value is selected. The refrigerating apparatus may be controlled in accordance with the selected suction pressure lower limit value.

Abstract: An analog video signal of a PAL system is converted into a digital video signal by an A/D converter. The digital video signal is supplied to a delay device so as to be subjected to hue correction and Y/C separation. The delay device generates a plurality of digital video signals with different delay times. The digital video signals S1(t) and S2(t) obtained from the delay device are supplied to a first subtracter, and the digital video signals S3(t) and S4(t) are supplied to a second subtracter. The outputs from the first and second subtracters are supplied to a third subtracter, and the output from the third subtracter is multiplied with a coefficient, thereby obtaining a first chrominance signal U(t). The outputs from the first and second subtracters are supplied to a first adder, and the output from the first adder is multiplied with a coefficient, thereby obtaining a second chrominance signal V(t).
