  • Publication number: 20240119947
    Abstract: There is provided a technology that improves, in a case where there is a sound signal obtained from a different code that is different from a code from which a decoded sound signal is obtained and that is derived from the same sound signal, the decoded sound signal by using the sound signal obtained from the different code. A signal (hereinafter, referred to as a decoded sound common signal) obtained by downmixing a decoded sound signal of each channel is subjected to signal purification using a monaural decoded sound signal to thereby generate a purified common signal, and in each channel, a signal obtained by upmixing the decoded sound common signal is subtracted from the decoded sound signal and a signal obtained by upmixing the purified common signal is added thereto, to thereby generate a purified decoded sound signal.

  • Patent number: 9242281
    Abstract: A method for rinsing a treatment cell of a workpiece surface treatment system, which obtains a surface-treated workpiece by sequentially carrying the treatment cell containing the workpiece to a series of apparatuses for operations in the respective apparatuses is provided. A surface treatment apparatus performs a surface treatment on the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from a carrying apparatus and supplying a surface treatment liquid to the inside of the treatment cell while rotating the treatment cell. A workpiece collection apparatus collects the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from the carrying apparatus, inverts the treatment cell, and squirts the inside of the treatment cell with water from below to flow out the workpiece. The carrying apparatus carries the treatment cell to the surface treatment apparatus, and then to the workpiece collection apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6850287
    Abstract: A TV receiver having a metal front cabinet is provided with a discharge path between the front cabinet and a ground portion of the TV receiver. The discharge path includes a series circuit in which a discharge tube is connected in series to a parallel circuit of a first resistor and a high-voltage capacitor and a second resistor that is connected in parallel to the series circuit. The discharge path effectively discharges a voltage occurring at the front cabinet via the second resistor while preventing a sudden flow of current and reducing the influence of static electricity. The series circuit in which the discharge tube is connected in series to the parallel circuit of the first resistor and the high-voltage capacitor has a function of causing high-voltage pulses occurring at the ground portion GND to escape to the front cabinet while converting those into pulses having a low voltage level.
