Abstract: In a resonance DC/DC converter, an input circuit has a configuration including a DC power source, a resonance auxiliary coil, a primary-side coil, a switching element connected in series, and a rectifying element and a resonance capacitor connected to the switching element in parallel. Here, there are provided an inductance value shifting circuit configured to shift an inductance value of the resonance auxiliary coil, and a control device configured to control the inductance value shifting circuit and shift the inductance value of the resonance auxiliary coil in accordance with a voltage value of the DC power source so that a voltage across the primary-side coil becomes constant.

Abstract: A plurality of multi-layer metal plates (1) each being composed of a bump forming metal layer (2), an etching stop layer (3), and a wiring film forming metal layer (4), and in which a wiring film (4a) is formed from the wiring film forming metal layer and a bump 2a is formed from the bump forming metal layer are prepared, and on a bump forming surface of a multi-layer metal plate, a wiring film of another multi-layer metal plate is overlapped. Such lamination process is repeated in succession for multi-layering. In addition, a polishing machine for multi-layer wiring board (11a) which includes metal plate holding means (13) for holding a metal plate (1a), cutter holding means (25) for holding a cutter (26) above the metal plate, height adjustment mechanism (20) for adjusting the height of the cutter holding means, and cutter parallel moving mechanism (15) for relatively moving the cutter holding means in parallel to the surface of the metal plate is used to conduct polishing.

Abstract: Before stopper members (25) of a skew correcting mechanism (10) are evacuated from a sheet conveyor path, sheet conveyor roller pairs (8) rotate a set angle in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction such that a sheet is separated from the stopper members (25). The sheet conveyor roller pairs (8) are arranged so that at least one of the rollers of each pair is independently pressed against the other with a force corresponding to the type of the sheet.

Abstract: A printer includes a drive pulse controller which continues to output drive pulses for driving a stepping motor (M) in a forward direction after a movable member (20) has come up against a stopper (34), and thereafter stops output of the drive pulses after step out of the motor (M). The printer also includes a setting device for setting a stop phase which the stepping motor (M) takes when it starts moving in a reverse direction.

Abstract: A DC power-supply unit convening AC into DC power is provided to, when AC voltage and/or AC current of an AC power supply passes through a zero point, close a switch after a preset first delay time from a passing through time, and open the switch after a preset second delay time from a passing through time. The unit includes a rectifier switch for convening AC power output from the AC power supply into DC power, an inductive element connected to the rectifying element, a switching element connected to the inductive element, and the rectifying element, a smoothing unit connected in parallel with the switching element, and a switch control unit for controlling the switch according to the predetermined delay times.

Abstract: A combination of a television receiver and a television signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus, such as a so-called video tape recorder, forming a television system for receiving, recording and/or reproducing television signals and displaying images thereof, wherein the television receiver portion contains two separate signal selecting and receiving circuitries each including a separately tunable tuner, an intermediate frequency stage and a detector stage, and specific television signals received by the respective circuitries are selectively applied by selecting switches in the television receiver portion to the display stage of the portion of the television receiver for display of images or to the portion of the signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording.
