  • Patent number: 4654659
    Abstract: A remote control toy includes a remote housing and a main housing. The remote housing has a transmitter and a signal generator associated with the transmitter. A plurality of function switches govern the signal generator. The transmitter outputs a signal which is encoded by the signal generator to reflect which switch or switches is activated on the remote housing. The main module includes a receiver to receive the signal from the transmitter. The receiver removes the encoded signal and outputs it to a decoder. Depending upon the signal received, the decoder outputs to one or more of its output ports which are connected to appropriate output devices located on the main module. One of these includes a tape drive which carries a tape therein, and which is capable of recording a sequence of control functions transmitted by the remote module to the main module.

  • Patent number: 4620257
    Abstract: In a carrier relay system in which protective relay apparatus are disposed in terminal stations respectively and interchange information between the terminal stations via a signal transmission line for detecting a trouble occurred in power transmission lines on the basis of the exchanged information, specific information K is inserted in a predetermined position of a signal transmitted from the first terminal station to the second terminal station, and the specific information K is inserted intact in another predetermined position of a signal returned from the terminal station to the terminal station. In the terminal station, the specific information K inserted in the signal transmitted therefrom is compared with the specific information K inserted in the signal returned from the terminal station for deciding the presence or absence of a trouble occurred in the power transmission lines.

  • Patent number: 3944445
    Abstract: A method of making isotropic Mn-Al-C alloy magnets which comprises the step of subjecting an alloy comprising 71.0% to 73.0% by weight of manganese, (1/10 Mn -- 6.6)% to (1/3 Mn -- 22.2)% by weight of carbon and the remainder aluminum to plastic deformation at a temperature of 550.degree.C to 780.degree.C.By utilizing this method, it is possible to obtain isotropic Mn-Al-C alloy magnets having excellent magnetic characteristics, i.e. (BH)max = 2.0 .times. 10.sup.6 G. Oe or more.
