Abstract: Provided is a video transmission device that includes: a transmission signal output portion that outputs a video signal that causes two-dimensional video or three-dimensional video to be displayed, an audio signal that causes audio to be output, and a control signal including information relating to the video signal and the audio signal; and a control portion that controls content of the control signal output from the transmission signal output portion. When the video signal switches from three-dimensional video to two-dimensional video, the control portion does not stop output of the video signal from the transmission signal output portion, and controls the transmission signal output portion such that information indicating that the video signal output from the transmission signal output portion has switched to two-dimensional video is included in information indicating that the video signal is three-dimensional video that is output from the transmission signal output portion.

Abstract: An improvement in user convenience is achieved. A signal conversion unit converts a first transmission specification signal that is input from a first external device, into a second transmission specification signal. For example, in the first transmission specification, video data and audio data are transmitted using one pair of differential signal lines, and, in the second transmission specification, video data and audio data are transmitted using three pairs of differential signal lines. The first transmission specification signal that is input from the first external device or the second transmission specification signal that is obtained by the signal conversion unit is selected as an output signal by a signal selection unit. A control unit controls the selection operation performed by the signal selection unit, in accordance with a transmission specification with which a second external device to which the output signal is to be supplied is compatible.

Abstract: Disposed are support means for mounting at least a part of a sheet between a sheet discharge outlet and a stack tray disposed with a height difference formed vertically, sheet end regulation means for striking the end edge of the sheet supported by the support means to regulate, and aligning transport means for carrying the sheet toward the regulation means. Then, the transport means is comprised of a friction transport body that engages in the sheet top surface on the support means, and transport body travel means for shifting the transport body by a predetermined amount in the crossing direction inclined a predetermined angle with respect to the sheet discharge direction. The friction transport body is configured so that friction drag of the sheet surface is smaller in the travel orthogonal direction than in the travel direction.

Abstract: A paper mount surface is disposed while being inclined in the sheet discharge direction or sheet-discharge orthogonal direction, and first and second support members that support the sheet rear and portion in the sheet discharge direction and rear end portion are disposed to be able to shift between actuation positions inside the tray and retract positions. Then, after collecting sheets on both support members, the support member positioned in the direction orthogonal to the inclined direction of the paper mount surface is first retracted from above the tray, and next, the support member positioned in the inclined direction is retracted to the waiting position.

Abstract: A catheter includes an inner layer, an outer layer, a reinforcement layer located between the inner layer and the outer layer, and a marker composed of a contrast material for confirming the position of the distal end portion of the catheter from outside the living body. The reinforcement layer is composed of a spiral first filamentous member, with a gap provided between those portions of the first filamentous member which are adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction of the catheter. The marker is formed by spirally winding a second filamentous member having a filament diameter smaller than the gap, and has a portion in close contact with the inner layer in the gap.

Abstract: Mash seam welding is performed to weld metal plates with thicknesses of 2 mm or more to stabilize the strength of a joint portion, reduce uneven parts of the joint portion, and ensure high strength and reliability of the joint portion. First, two metal plates, clamped with first and second clamping devices, are placed to overlap each other at their end portions. The overlapping portions (L) of the metal plates are pressed together with a pair of upper and lower electrode wheels while welding currents flow to continuously weld the overlapping portions (L) and join the metal plates. The pressing forces applied to the electrode wheels are controlled so that upper and lower welding forces acting upon the overlapping portions are equal to each other during the time when the overlapping portions are continuously welded.

Abstract: Stereoscopic image information (3D information) can be efficiently transmitted between electronic devices at high speed. Using a capability register (Capability Register) of MHL, the 3D information is transmitted between devices. (1) An MHL sink device transmits a “SET_INT command” immediately after changing the 3D information of the capability register, a 3D_CHG flag of an MHL source device side is set to “1” and the MHL sink device notifies the MHL source device of the 3D information. (2) The MHL source device responds ACK. (3) The MHL source device recognizes that the 3D_CHG flag is set to 1, transmits a “READ_DEVCAP command” in which address information of the 3D information of the capability register is added to the MHL sink device and reads only the 3D information from the capability register. Using a scratchpad register of MHL, the 3D information is transmitted between the devices and detailed 3D control is performed.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a transport roller that transports a sheet by a predetermined transportation amount along a transportation path, a printing unit that records an image on the sheet being transported in synchronization with driving of the transport roller, a position detecting mechanism that detects whether an installation position is vertical installation or horizontal installation, and a transportation amount correcting unit that corrects a transportation amount depending on the detection result of the position detecting mechanism.

Abstract: To provide an electronic apparatus capable of easily detecting a terminal that forms a loop connection state with a simplified configuration. A control unit counts the number of broadcast packet supplied from a switching hub to a communication unit within a predetermined time period and determines whether the number of packets exceeds a threshold value (ST2, ST3). If the number of packets exceeds the threshold value, the control unit determines that an abnormal connection state occurs, that is, a loop is detected and starts a process in which the control unit identifies a network terminal that forms the loop connection state (ST3, ST5). The control unit counts the number of broadcast packets that reach each of the network terminals, that is, broadcast packets input to each port of the switching hub.

Abstract: A pair of upper and lower pressure rollers 3, 4 is disposed so that their axes 15, 16 are tilted in a horizontal plane in respective directions opposite to each other with respect to a straight line perpendicular to a welding line of a joint portion J. The pressure rollers 3, 4 are positively driven by corresponding electric motors 63, 64 to thereby roll the joint portion. Thus, steps defined at the joint portion can be smoothed and a step gradient can be reduced to ensure a high degree of joint strength.
