  • Patent number: 6641710
    Abstract: To provide a method of metal plating to give a metal plating coating with excellent luster and high corrosion resistance and wear resistance. This metal plating method includes pulse plating by pulsed electrolysis by periodically applying electric current. The pulsed electrolysis is carried out in condition that the pulse frequency and the current density are controlled so that the ratio of the quantity of deposited lattice per pulse to the height of the lattice is 0.28 or lower, that the duty ratio of the pulse frequency is controlled to be 0.5 or lower, and that the duration of complete pause caused by distortion of pulse waveform is controlled to be one half or longer of the duration of current interruption. The foregoing plating is carried out while fluidizing plating solution to be brought into contact with the object body 5 at a flow rate of 0.04 (m/s) or higher and making the solution evenly flow along the face to be plated.

  • Patent number: 5767714
    Abstract: A PLL circuit which is used as a reproducing clock forming circuit of a digital signal reproducing apparatus. The PLL circuit is strong against noises and has stable characteristics. Comparison outputs of a phase comparator 3 are outputted in a form of balance (differential) signals and are supplied to a loop filer 4. Output signals of the loop filter 4 are supplied to control voltage input terminals of a VCO 5 in a form of the balance signals. In-phase components of the noises included in control voltages can be cancelled. Time constants of the loop filter can be switched by bipolar transistors Tr31 and Tr32. A balance of the balance signals is not broken by base currents of the transistors Tr31 and Tr32.

  • Patent number: 4796096
    Abstract: In a color video signal processing circuit for use in processing two chrominance component signals produced on the reproduction side of a video tape recorder, in which two chrominance component signals have been time compressed and successively recorded in cyclically repeated fashion as one series of chrominance signal, such a signal is time expanded and made into two series of chrominance signals on the reproduction side. Each of the two series of chrominance signals, i.e., the current signal, and the signal 1H before each are subjected to digital processing for detection of a correlation therebetween and an arithmetical mean value of both the signals is output when there is such a correlation and also the level of the current signal is higher than a reference level, whereas the current signal is output as it is when the level of the current signal is lower than the reference level or when there is no such correlation even if the level of the current signal is higher than the reference level.

  • Patent number: 4729013
    Abstract: A time base error corrector comprises a chrominance subcarrier phase corrector whereby the subcarrier phase of a video signal is controlled before being written in the buffer memory in such a way that when the video signal is read from the buffer memory on the basis of the reference video signal, the subcarrier phase of the read video signal may match that of the reference video signal. In the NTSC system, the succeeding line odd/even (O/E) identification is predicted on the basis of a content O/E of the preceding field identification and a content O/E of the preceding field top line identification, and a non-inverted return subcarrier signal is generated when the succeeding top line identification is determined to be odd but an inverted return subcarrier signal RSC is generated when determined to be even. In the PAL system, the succeeding line O/E odd/even and I/N inversion/non-inversion identifications are predicted to generate four different return subcarrier signals.
