Abstract: A load control device includes an energization circuit unit connected between a power source and a load and configured to switch ON and OFF of energization of the load, a failure detection unit connected to a downstream side of the energization circuit unit, a current interruption unit connected to an upstream side of the energization circuit unit and configured to interrupt supply of current of the power source to the energization circuit unit based on an input from the failure detection unit, and a control unit configured to supply an ON-OFF control signal to the energization circuit unit. The energization circuit unit includes a first semiconductor switch and a second semiconductor switch which are connected in parallel to each other. The control unit supplies a common ON-OFF control signal to the first semiconductor switch and the second semiconductor switch.

Abstract: A latching relay system includes a latching relay that comprises a permanent magnet and a control electric coil and has a function of self-maintaining a state of an electric contact, at least one inductance component that is disposed close to the latching relay and has a function of generating magnetism when energized, and an assisting energization control unit that energizes the inductance component temporarily when the state of the electric contact of the latching relay is switched, and assists an operation of the latching relay by the magnetism generated by the inductance component.

Abstract: A vehicle data setting system is provided with auxiliary connection terminals as standard equipment in addition to connection terminals normally used. When an output setting instruction is inputted to the vehicle data setting system from a failure diagnosis tool, output data to be outputted from the connection terminals are changed to desired data by control of a CPU.

Abstract: When a trouble is caused to a control signal output function of a controller (9), each of output ports of control signals of the controller (9) is brought into a high impedance state. Turning on or off an ignition switch (IGN) in this state generates an alternative bias signal in a switch signal input circuit (11) or an inverter (13). The generated alternative bias signal is applied to a set coil energizing switch (7a) or a reset coil energizing switch (7b). Thus, a latching relay (5) can be driven on and off, interlocking with an on-operation or an off-operation of the ignition switch (IGN).

Abstract: In a recording and reproducing apparatus, a plurality of audio signal areas and audio sub-code areas for recording audio mode information of the respective areas are provided on a recording medium in a record mode. The audio mode information corresponding to the audio signal area is detected from the audio signal sub-code in the reproduction mode.

Abstract: An apparatus for outputting a pitch data corresponding to a relative distance between a pair of movable members or a position of a second movable member relative to a first movable member. Data indicating the output relative distance or data indicating the output relative position is converted to corresponding pitch data in accordance with one of a plurality of conversion characteristics selected by a selection section. A pitch corresponding to the converted pitch data is determined. An electronic musical instrument outputs a musical tone having the determined pitch. The musical tone is controlled in accordance with a flow state of air passing through a mouthpiece or a bite pressure.

Abstract: A developing device for a photosensitive material consisting of a cover base laminated through the intermediary of a photosensitive layer to a support member develops the photosensitive material by stripping the cover base from the support member. The developing device employs a stripping roller consisting of the combination of a plurality of diametrically small separating rollers and a plurality of diametrically large brush rollers arranged in alternating side by side relation. A plurality of nip rollers contact respective ones of the separating rollers. The stripping roller is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of a photosensitive material and disposed in a photosensitive transporting passage with its brush rollers contacting the cover base surface. The cover base is stripped at its leading end from the support member by the brush rollers, and the leading end of the cover base is held for transportation between the separating rollers and the nip rollers.
