Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a circuit for detecting a TMCC signal. Using this method and circuit, as long as there is a synchronizing signal of the TMCC signal found in the ISDB-T signal received by the receiving device, the TMCC information can be collected from then on. Thereby, the delay time generated each time when the receiving device switches channels can be effectively decreased.

Abstract: A fine symbol timing synchronization method and apparatus in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system are provided. The fine symbol timing synchronization method finds a path with a minimum mean square error (MMSE) as a first path among a plurality of paths, and a formula of the mean square error (MSE) used by the method is a simplified formula of the original MSE formula with low calculation complexity. Therefore, the time required by the fine symbol timing synchronization method is short, and a correct first path can be found, so as to lock a starting position of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window on a starting position of a symbol signal of the correct first path.

Abstract: An egg beater includes a seat, and a stirring net mounted on the seat and including a plurality of primary stirring strips and a plurality of secondary stirring strips. Each of the primary stirring strips has a surface formed with a helical groove. Thus, the air is introduced into the dough rapidly and largely by guide of the helical grooves of the primary stirring strips during rotation of the stirring net, so that the air input introduced into the dough is greatly enhanced, thereby decreasing the stirring time of the egg beater.
