Abstract: A video display apparatus comprises a color temperature correction circuit which controls temperature color of an input video signal; a display device which displays an image upon basis of said video signal corrected by said color temperature correction circuit; and a signal producing circuit which obtains a hue signal from said input video signal. The color temperature correction circuit controls said hue signal corresponding to the video signal of white color attributes, which has luminance equal to or greater than a predetermined value and chroma saturation equal to or less than a predetermined value, whereby achieving the color temperature correction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processor including, a first function portion including communication means for executing processing relating to communication of data, and communication managing means for controlling the communication means and for managing information representing whether or not the communication means is executing the processing relating to the communication of the data, a second function portion different from the first function portion, instructing means for issuing an instruction to stop the first function portion, determing means provided in the second function portion for, when the instructing means issues the instruction to stop the first function portion, determing based on the information managed by the communication managing means whether or not the communication means is executing the communication processing, and stopping means provided in the second function portion for, when the determing means determines that the communication means is executing the communication processing

Abstract: A variable capacitor includes a stator and a rotor rotatably supported by a cover relative to the stator. The stator includes a first stator electrode of two or more layers and a second stator electrode of two or more layers in the interior of a dielectric substrate. The first stator electrode is connected to a first external electrode and the second stator electrode is connected to a second external electrode. The rotor includes a rotor electrode of two pieces opposing the stator electrodes, and capacitances are defined in the areas of overlap of the rotor electrode and stator electrodes. The capacitances are adjustable to extremely small levels.

Abstract: A video display device that allows the color temperature of the signals in white color attributes having high luminance and low chroma saturation to be corrected with high precision is provided together with the color temperature correction method for the same so as to visually obtain a desirable white color on display.

Abstract: A plunger pump for supplying solution in accordance with an extrusion action of a plunger within a pump chamber. The plunger pump includes a cleaning chamber sealed by a seal member around and relative to the plunger, with a cleaning liquid inlet-side flow conduit and a cleaning liquid outlet-side flow conduit for communicating with the cleaning chamber, respectively. A mechanism isolates one of the inlet- and outlet-side flow conduits from the atmosphere and releases the other to an atmosphere under a condition where the cleaning liquid inlet- or outlet-side flow conduits are filled with the cleaning liquid. If the seal member in sliding contact with the plunger is degraded or aged, it is possible to observe a leakage of the liquid from the pump chamber along a sealing face between the seal member and the plunger.
