Abstract: An optical disk apparatus which can with high-speed access and low power consumption reproduce data recorded thereon at constant linear velocity and which, if used as a writable type, can record data by using CAV control and CLV control in combination, with much improved high-speed access and low power consumption.

Abstract: A termite control composition for soil treatment containing a 3-cyano-1-(substituted phenyl)pyrazole and a pyrethroid compound as effective ingredients, and a method of controlling pests such as termites using said composition. The termite control composition is improved for soil treatment as well as for the ability to prevent termites from passing through a pesticidally treated layer.

Abstract: A bisphosphite compound of the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein W is a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, L is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene or alkenylene group, X is an oxygen atom, and each of R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 which are the same or different, is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl or alicyclic group, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, and/or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, bond to each other to form a ring.

Abstract: There is provided an inexpensive light emitting display device which has a simple wiring structure and produces a bright screen display. A photo-transistor is connected in series with a light emitting diode. The photo-transistor is arranged so that light emitted from the light emitting diode enters into the photo-transistor. There is provided an optical guide for guiding a data signal light to the photo-transistor and an optical guide for guiding a scanning signal light to the phototransistor. Further, an optical control section has a laser diode array, a lens array, and a deflection mirror. The above-mentioned arrangement obviates the need of an electric wiring for a data signal and a scanning signal, and is able to turn on the photo-transistor with the emission light from the light emitting diode and makes the photo-transistor self-hold its conductive state.

Abstract: A driving circuit for printing devices in an electric cash register comprising a pair of first diodes which are connected in series in the normal direction respectively with a journal printing magnet and receipt printing magnet paired with each other and are connected with each other, a first switching transistor connected between the connecting point of the pair of first diodes and a negative (-) terminal of a current source, a second diode connected in the reverse direction between said connecting point and a positive (+) terminal of the current source, a second switching transistor connected between a common feeding line to the journal printing magnets and the positive (+) terminal of the current source and a third switching transistor connected between a common feeding line to the receipt printing magnets and the positive (+) terminal of the current source, to simplify the circuit formation and reduce the manufacturing cost.
