Abstract: An audio decoding reproduction apparatus includes an input data analyzer, a decoding channel controller and a decoding processor. The input data analyzer analyzes an input data stream to decide the number and types of the source channels of the input data stream. The decoding processor generates decoded data of at least one channel by decoding data in the input data stream. In response to the number and types of the source channels the input data analyzer decides, the decoding channel controller adjusts the number and types of the channels of the decoded data the decoding processor decodes. The audio decoding reproduction apparatus can make effective use of its processing ability without generating the unnecessary decoded data.

Abstract: The invention provides a technique for mounting circuit elements, in which short circuits between the electrodes of the circuit element do not occur when using silver paste to mount the circuit element. On a board 1 between conductors 2 on which a circuit element 4 is mounted, an insulating resin layer 6 is formed, which is about twice as wide as the circuit element 4, and has a thickness that fills the gap between the mounted circuit element 4 and the board 1. The insulating resin layer 6 is made of a resin whose curing speed is faster than that of a silver paste 5, and is cured at the same time as the curing step of the silver paste 5.

Abstract: A sound reproducing system that decodes audio data in a frame with which detection of a syncword fails, if a syncword included in a subsequent frame is detected, if correctness of bit stream information in the subsequent frame is proved, and if no CRC error is detected (when CRC is included). This makes it possible to solve a problem involved in a conventional system in that when a unit frame without an error check pattern is input and a synchronization detector produces a synchronization detection error signal, unpleasant sound interruption can take place even if the audio data is correct, because the correctness of the audio data cannot be checked, and hence the audio data cannot be decoded in this case.

Abstract: There is provided a decoding device comprising a unit for checking whether an error occurs in pack header information which is extracted from each pack by a pack header information extracting unit, for retrieving pack header information that mostly conforms to a specific standard from a pack header information database if the extracted pack header information has an error, and for replacing the extracted pack header information having an error with the pack header information that mostly conforms to the specific standard to enable a packet header detecting unit to detect the packet header.

Abstract: In a method of producing a semiconductor laser element with suppression of mirror degradation by the laser light which can operate stably with a high output power, a laser wafer is prepared to have a layered structure of semiconductor layers including an active layer, followed by forming contact electrodes on the top and the bottom of the wafer, cleaving the wafer in a ultra high vacuum chamber to provide a laser bar, and covering cleaved end faces of the laser bar with semiconductor amorphous layers, as protective layers, of a compound semiconductor material between a third group element and a fifth group element in the element periodic table, to form a protected laser bar. An example of the amorphous layer is of GaAs semiconductor material. Then, a laser element without mirror degradation is obtained by forming dielectric films on the protective layers.

Abstract: In a semiconductor laser, a first dielectric layer is formed on the front face of a laser diode for producing a compressive stress, and a second dielectric layer is formed on the first dielectric layer for producing a tensile stress for counteracting the compressive stress of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is formed of a substance such as Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and the second dielectric layer is formed of a substance such as SiN.sub.x. A high stability into is created between the first dielectric layer and the front face of the laser diode to prevent it from suffering from a castrophic optical damage.

Abstract: A method of attaching a cutter to a carton includes the steps of feeding intermittently a nonmetallic sheet by a feeding device toward upper and lower molds, one of which is vertically movable, punching the nonmetallic sheet by the molds to form the cutter, conveying and setting cartons one by one by a conveying device, sucking and holding the cutter on the movable mold, and pressing the cutter to the carton which is adhered thereto by an adhesive paste applied to the cutter. The nonmetallic sheet has an adhesive paste on one side and a removable sheet on the paste which is peeled away prior to punching.

Abstract: An address bus control system is provided of the type in which a controller including a central processing unit is connected through an address bus and a data bus to hardware modules which control equipment to be controlled. An address space defined by an address bus includes a discrimination space for discriminating the attribute of the hardware module and a function space for allocating and clearing an address space for a function interface of the hardware module. The attribute of a hardware module connected to a connector having a corresponding address is recognized using the discrimination space. The function interface of each hardware module is assigned a space within the function space in accordance with the contents of the discrimination space in concern, or the assigned space is canceled.

Abstract: A thin film of molten polypropylene resin extruded from a T die is pressed and cooled with a chill roll equipped with a hologram relief master plate on its peripheral surface, whereupon a hologram pattern is simultaneously formed as an integral part of the polypropylene resin sheet being molded. Since the polypropylene resin has a Rockwell hardness of at least 70, the hologram pattern formed in the resulting hologram forming sheet is less likely to be damaged or lost during subsequent processing.
