Abstract: When a hybrid-type construction machine including an electric power accumulator is started under a low-temperature environment, at first an ignition key of an engine is turned on to drive the engine. If the temperature of the electric power accumulator is lower than a predetermined temperature, the electric power accumulator is heated by driving the engine. Further, if the temperature of the electric power accumulator is lower than the predetermined temperature, the engine is driven to carry out a warm-up operation and a motor generator is driven to charging and discharge the electric power accumulator to thereby heat the electric power accumulator.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an unfailing pickup operation of an electronic component from a component storage portion at a seam of storage tapes connected even using a connection tape and prevention of reduction in a pickup rate of an electronic component. A CPU sends a feeding command to a component feeding unit to perform a component feeding operation or the like. Then, when the CPU judges that a connection tape reaches a pickup position, the CPU drives an X axis drive motor and a Y axis drive motor to move a board recognition camera to the pickup position of the feeding unit, the camera takes an image of a storage portion of a storage tape, and a recognition processing device performs recognition processing. A correction value based on a result of this recognition processing is stored in a RAM, and a suction nozzle is moved taking this correction value into account and lowers to pick up an electronic component.

Abstract: A method of wiring a head suspension assembly includes fixing a tube binding a plurality of wires on a suspension assembly, and fixing the wires extending from the fixed tube on the suspension while leading them to a top side of the suspension. The suspension has a tab frame with first and second frames. Each wire led to the top side of the suspension is bonded to the second frame of a tab frame. An insulation film is removed from each connecting portion of the wires to connect the wires to respective connecting pads of the slider. A first frame is bent substantially perpendicular to the suspension, and the second frame is bent substantially perpendicular to the first frame, thereby positioning the wires bonded to the second frame at the connecting pads on the slider. The wires are then ultrasonically welded to the respective connecting pads on the slider.

Abstract: An audio signal recording and reproducing apparatus can perform realtime processing with a structure having a low cost. The audio signal recording and reproducing apparatus records a series of input audio signals as digital audio data, and reproduces and outputs the input signals using the recorded digital audio data as output audio signals. An input audio signal processing unit converts the series of input audio signals into digital audio data. A data file recording unit records the digital audio data, as digital audio data file information, on a recording medium, the recording medium having a plurality of clusters in which data having a predetermined number of bytes is recorded, the digital audio file information being recorded over a plurality of clusters. A file management information recording unit records on the recording medium file management information representing the reproducing order of the clusters in which the digital audio data file information is recorded.

Abstract: A system suitable for digitizing an analog audio signal, with the addition of analog dither to the audio signal and, after the digitization of the resulting analog audio/dither signal, the subtraction of digital dither from the digital audio/dither signal. For the production of the analog and digital dither signals, a digital dither generator is employed which generates digital dither of, e.g., 16 bits. The analog dither signal is derived from this 16 bits dither by first translating the same into analog dither of equivalent magnitude and then by reducing its magnitude to a value equivalent to e.g., 10 bits. The digital dither signal, on the other hand, is provided by reducing the magnitude of the 16 bits digital dither to that of substantially 10 bits. The analog dither signal is added to the audio signal, and the resulting analog audio/dither signal is translated by an analog to digital converter of, e.g., 16 bits into a digital audio/dither signal.
