Abstract: Disclosed is a laser peening apparatus, including: a liquid holding head to shape and hold liquid to trap plasma on a local surface of a workpiece; and a laser irradiation head to irradiate the surface with laser through the liquid held in the liquid holding head.

Abstract: A video display device includes: an image display device including: a signal operating unit which operates image quality of a source image; a first OSD unit which generates a first OSD signal; a control unit for controlling the image display device, and a memory which is connected to the control unit; and a video device including: a second OSD unit which generates a second OSD signal; and a video device control unit for controlling the video device, wherein the OSD signal output is always displayed with constant image quality, image quality data of the second OSD display stored in the memory is used as the image quality data of the signal operating unit when the second OSD display is performed, and, if the OSD display is finished, the image quality data of the display returns to the image quality data of the source image.

Abstract: When a viewing limitation level is set from a receiver side, if the setting of the viewing limitation level is selected from a set-up screen, a TV side microcomputer displays an access code screen. When an access code is inputted, the microcomputer displays the setting select screen of the viewing limitation level of a broadcasting side. When an arbitrary viewing limitation level is selected, the microcomputer obtains the information of the viewing limitation level of a disc side from a viewing limitation level corresponding table and informs a disc side microcomputer of the information of the viewing limitation level and sets the viewing limitation level of the receiver side to the selected viewing limitation level. The disc side microcomputer sets the viewing limitation level of the disc side in accordance with the contents of the information.

Abstract: A mixed coating material includes: a mixed resin comprising an ultraviolet curable resin and a low molecular weight tetrafluoroethylene resin; and a hydrofluorocarbon-containing organic solvent, wherein the mixed resin and the hydrofluorocarbon-containing organic solvent are mixed to allow the coating material to have film hardness of 1H or more.

Abstract: A TV system including an optical disc apparatus capable of preventing a burn-in from appearing on the screen of a display is provided, wherein a timer is started to transmit still image data from the optical disc apparatus to a TV image receiver. When a predetermined time elapsed after a still image is displayed, a CPU in the optical disc apparatus sends information of the elapsed time to a CPU in the TV image receiver. Then, the latter CPU saves the current brightness value stored in a memory and supplies a brightness value smaller than the current brightness value to a drive unit for the display, thereby enabling the image intensity to be reduced on the display and/or an OSD image to be eliminated in the still image. The image intensity on the display can be returned to the initial intensity and/or the eliminated OSD image can be recovered by pushing appropriate selection keys in an operation section.

Abstract: A DVD drive integrated television receiver includes a first microcomputer for a television having a zooming function, and a second microcomputer for a DVD drive having a zooming function and connected to the first microcomputer to enable two-way communication. Preferably, with respect to a first zoom mode common to zoom modes for the television and the DVD drive, a zooming function is shared by employing preferentially the zoom mode for the television, information on a DVD drive zoom mode is obtained when an operation is switched to the television, the first microcomputer employs the information to set up a television zoom mode if the information is for the first zoom mode, and sets the television zoom mode to a zoom mode designated before the operation was switched to the DVD drive if the information is not for the first zoom mode.

Abstract: A system controller displays all setup items on a setup screen, at the time of a setup mode in which a setup button 18a of a remote controller is depressed, in case that it is judged that a disc is not loaded on a tray of an apparatus itself, and, in case that it is judged that the disc is loaded, then, judges a type of the disc which is loaded, and on the basis of a result of that judgment, displays only a setup item which can be used for the loaded disc, and does not display a setup item which can not be used.
