Publication number: 20180295435Abstract: The present technology relates to an input device, a transmitting method, a host device, a receiving method, a signal processing system, and a transceiving method, which are capable of easily performing transmission and reception of multiplexed data obtained by multiplexing a plurality of electric signals between a plug device including a plug and a jack device including a jack. An input device detects whether or not the jack device including the jack is an associated device capable of dealing the multiplexed data obtained by multiplexing a plurality of electric signals, and transmits the multiplexed data via the plug when the jack device is the associated device. The host device detects whether or not the plug device including the plug is the associated device, and receives the multiplexed data transmitted from the plug device via the jack when the plug device is the associated device. The present technology can be applied to a music player having a jack and a headset having a plug, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: October 11, 2018Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Kazunobu Ookuri, Kohei Asada, Tetsunori Itabashi, Yasunobu Murata, Mitsuhiro Suzuki, Toshiya Murakami, Naotaka Tsunoda, Kenji Irie

Patent number: 5805559Abstract: A laser power control circuit for controlling the laser power is provided in an automatic power control circuit of an optical disc device, an amplitude of an RF signal is examined by the LPC circuit, a control voltage to be applied to the APC circuit is generated, and feedback is applied to control the laser power and stabilize the RF signal level. By this, the reproduction can be stably carried out by even discs having different reflection rates, an improvement of the reproduction capability can be achieved, and a lowering of the optical output of the laser diode accompanied with aging and the lowering of the reproduction capability accompanied with the lowering of the optical output due to dust adhered to the pick-up can be prevented. Further, the laser power per se is controlled, so there is no effect on the band of the RF amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1997Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshiya Murakami, Tsukasa Wadamori
