Abstract: Provided is a temperature control apparatus of a working machine that is inexpensive, energy-saving and capable of eliminating the temperature difference between a temperature in a room in which the working machine is installed and a temperature of a working area. Whether an average value T5 is higher or lower than both a target temperature T1 in the working area and an air temperature T2 in the room is checked and, if the result is YES, the routine proceeds to step S8 for driving a cylinder 175 to open a cover 173 and open a opening for working 172. Then, internal air in a working area A is replaced with external air surrounding a numerically controlled lathe 1 and the temperature in the working area approaches the air temperature T2 in the room. If the result is NO, the cylinder 175 is driven to close the cover 173 and close the opening for working 172.

Abstract: A chattering vibration inhibiting mechanism capable of inhibiting chattering vibration of a machine tool without increasing weight nor requiring a time-consuming adjustment work is provided. A box-shaped package body 21 attached to a spindle head 6, a supporting member 22 disposed to bridge between front and rear walls 21a, 21b in the box-shaped package body 21, and a damper 23 composed of an elastic member 27 and a weight 26 supported by the supporting member 22 are provided.

Abstract: Video signals such as television reception signals are recorded in a suitable manner taking into consideration the use of external devices each having a different aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of an original video signal is converted so that the image has roundness of 1 and has the maximum size fitting in the particular screen reproducing the recorded video signal. Then, a background signal of a size the same as the screen size or a size needed for video combination is generated, and the result is added around the video signal to generate any desired video signal size. In such a manner, the recorded image has the aspect ratio matching that of the reproduced image.

Abstract: The present invention provides a television receiver which receives television signals to display images on a CRT display, and includes a JPEG decode unit (21) for decoding JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compressed image data. The JPEG decode unit (21) detects image size of image data after decode processing stored in JPEG compressed image data from a memory card (6). In case the image size is larger than image display area of a CRT display (3) and activity ratio of a memory unit (22) is larger than a limit value, the JPEG decode unit (21) sends the image size to a CPU (25), and concurrently decodes the JPEG compressed image data in the memory unit (22) to generate the image data, and clips away half of the image data along the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus consists of a control system including a CPU, an image input terminal, an image processing system, an image output terminal, and a user interface. An I/O controller is provided in each of the above units. During the power-on sequence of the apparatus, the CPU executes an interrupt test for checking whether interrupt processes of the CPU with respect to sync signals are performed correctly, and an I/O port operation test for confirming that an I/O port of each I/O controller functions correctly. When a prescribed button is pressed at the user interface, the CPU enters a diagnostic copy job mode, in which copies are actually produced in the same manner as in a normal copy mode to identify a unit in trouble.

Abstract: A monitor control system comprises an interrupt processor for executing regular monitor processing by a periodic interrupt occurring at a predetermined time interval, and a background processor for executing background processing, wherein when interruption occurs, execution of the background processing by the background processor is interrupted while regular monitor processing is executed during a period in which background processing is interrupted. The time-consuming background processing is treated as a low-level processing task, and the regular monitor processing, as a high-level processing task. The low-level processing task is executed as a background processing during CPU idle time. Interruption of the background processing occurs ever 10-msec, during which the high-level processing task is executed. Accordingly, background processing and regular monitor processing are smoothly executed, and the CPU is thereby efficiently used.
