Abstract: Surgical equipment includes a pipe section to be inserted into an organism, a handle section extending in a direction nonparallel to a longitudinal direction of the pipe section, a transitioning section that couples a rear end portion of the pipe section and a front end portion of the handle section, and a treatment instrument disposed at a front end portion of the pipe section. The surgical equipment includes a manipulator section disposed in the handle section and manipulated when causing the treatment instrument to operate and a transmission member that connects the treatment instrument and the manipulator section and transmits a motion of the manipulator section to the treatment instrument. The transmission member includes a wire. The transitioning section has a hollow pipe shape through which the wire can be inserted. Only the wire is inserted through the transitioning section.

Abstract: A sound source device for an electronic musical instrument includes processing electronics to provide at least one virtual input port, assign a different respective tone or other effect to each virtual input port, associate each respective first playing operation device of a musical instrument system with a respective virtual input port, and receive first playing information from at least one of the first playing operation devices. A musical sound generating unit generates a musical sound signal on the basis of the first playing information received and the tone or other effect assigned to the respective virtual input port associated with the first playing operation device.

Abstract: This device for controlling feedback of an electronic percussion instrument includes an acquisition part that acquires a feedback signal of a musical sound of the electronic percussion instrument emitted through an amplifier and a speaker, and a processing circuit that performs uncorrelated processing on the feedback signal on the basis of information indicating a control amount, and outputs a signal after the uncorrelated processing to the amplifier.

Abstract: An electronic percussion instrument capable of simulating a rendition of an acoustic percussion instrument is provided. The electronic percussion instrument includes a housing, a percussion surface attached to the housing, a pressure sensor disposed on a central section of the percussion surface on a side of the back surface and configured to detect pressing against the central section, a head vibration sensor disposed on a peripheral section of the percussion surface on the side of the back surface and configured to detect vibrations of the peripheral section, and a rim vibration sensor disposed at a position overlapping the head vibration sensor when seen in a plan view of the percussion surface and configured to detect vibrations of the housing.

Abstract: This control device for an electronic percussion instrument inputs a musical sound signal corresponding to a hit on a struck surface to a first amplifier for amplifying a signal to be connected to a first speaker disposed on the back side of or around the struck surface, and inputs the musical sound signal to a second amplifier for amplifying a signal to be connected to a second speaker disposed on the back side of or around a first struck surface at a timing later than a timing at which the musical sound signal is inputted to the first amplifier.

Abstract: In an ATM switching module, expansion interfaces are connected in pair to an ATM switch to respectively operate in active and standby states. When another ATM switching module is installed and a connection is established between an expansion interface of standby state and the newly installed ATM switching module, a process sets the standby state expansion interface in hot-standby state, and holds off incoming ATM cells destined for the hot-standby state expansion interface until the connection is ready to accept cell traffic, whereupon the hot-standby state expansion interface is switched to active state, whereby the ATM switch and an ATM switch of the another switching module constitute a multi-stage configuration.
