Abstract: Machine-tool controller (1) having: a drive control unit (13) controlling, based on moving-body operational commands, feed-mechanism actuation to control moving-body move-to points; a modeling data storage (15) storing moving-body and structural-element modeling data; and a screen display processor (20) for generating, based on the moving-body move-to points, data modeling the moving body having been moved into a move-to point, and for generating, and displaying on a screen display device (47) screen, image data in accordance with the modeling data generated. The screen display processor (20) generates and displays the image data in such a manner that a display-directing point, serving as a referent for displaying the moving body and being defined to be on that portion of the moving body where there is a risk of interference with the structural element, coincides with the central portion of the screen display device (47) screen.

Abstract: A recovered clock signal is simulated from an acquired external clock signal by use of an uncomplicated algorithm requiring few calculations. The recovered clock is usually used in an apparatus that receives external clock and external data signals and recovers the recovered clock signal from the external clock signal by use of a phase lock loop to process the external data according to the recovered clock. Apparatus according to the invention digitizes the external clock signal and stores resulting the time domain data in memories (step 48). It detects time domain data of edges of the stored external clock (step 50), and the detected time domain data of the edges are converted into frequency domain data (step 52). The frequency domain data are multiplied by the respective predetermined coefficients in different frequency domains (step 54). The resultant frequency domain data are restored to the time domain data (step 56) to obtain time domain data of the edges of the recovered clock signal.

The position control unit controls the moving body to travel at speed limit if the operational-signal-directed moving speed exceeds the speed limit.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording apparatus and a reproducing apparatus which change a picture compression rate depending upon a picture quality of a source which a user desires to retain, thereby a tape storage space being secured. A video-data compression rate N used by a 1:N video-data compression encoder 3 and a 1:N video-data compression decoder 6 is changed depending upon a picture quality set by a device 5 for setting a picture quality that a user desires. A tape travel speed of an archive VTR 4 is changed in response to the picture compression rate. Thus, an amount of a tape travel is optionally set depending upon a level of the picture quality. Therefore, it is possible to optionally select a tape storage space in response to the level of the picture quality.
