Abstract: The laminated ceramic capacitor has a laminate block made of alternately laminated ceramic dielectric layers and internal electrodes, a pair of cover layers, laminated on top and bottom of the laminate block, ceramic bodies formed on both side faces of the laminate block, and a pair of external electrodes that are electrically connected to the internal electrodes, wherein the average grain size of the ceramic dielectric grains constituting the ceramic body is smaller than the average grain size of the ceramic dielectric grains constituting the ceramic dielectric layer in the laminate block.

Abstract: A bidirectional signal distributing system which can use a sweet sleep system at home without exerting a burden on a subscriber so as to purchase the sweet sleep system. Luminance change frequency data and/or audio change frequency data suitable to shift to a sweet sleep state of the subscriber has been stored in a head end apparatus in the bidirectional signal distributing system. When the subscriber requests a sweet sleep function, the luminance change frequency data and/or audio change frequency data according to the subscriber provided on the head end side is read out, a predetermined video signal and/or audio signal is modulated, and the modulated signal is transmitted to the subscriber apparatus.

Abstract: A video signal recording and reproducing apparatus replaces at least one of a group of a predetermined number of frames of a main signal from one video camera to a sub signal frame from another video camera on the same time base as that of the main signal and records, and upon reproduction, executes the recording video signal by an ordinary reproducing process and reproduces and displays the main signal and still reproduces the intermittent sub signal frames, thereby reproducing the sub signal like a frame sending. The recording and reproducing apparatus sets one of the video signals which are obtained from two or more video cameras into the main signal and sets the other remaining video signals into the sub signals and records those main and sub signals and conveniently distributes those signals and reproduces.

Abstract: A drift canceling apparatus has an angular velocity detecting sensor with a detection output having temperature/time drift, the output being supplied to an object to be controlled. A reference signal extraction circuit extracts a reference signal from the detection output. The reference signal extraction circuit includes a differentiation circuit for differentiating the detection output of the angular velocity detecting sensor, a comparison circuit for comparing the detection output of the angular velocity detecting sensor with the output signal of the differentiation circuit to produce a comparison circuit output signal, a selection circuit for selecting only an output in a required normal operation region from the comparison circuit output signal, and a sample hold circuit for sample-holding the detection output of the angular velocity detecting sensor in response to the output of the selection circuit to produce a sample hold signal used as the reference signal.
