Abstract: A sound signal processing device includes a plurality of sound signal processing units and a plurality of buffers. Each of the plurality of sound signal processing units belongs to one of a plurality of groups and executes a predetermined process by using a supplied sound signal. The plurality of buffers are provided with mutually different buffer sizes where each of the plurality of buffers is associated with one of the groups and supplies an accumulated sound signal to a sound signal processing unit that belongs to an associated group.

Abstract: An audio signal processing device includes: an output sound signal generator configured to generate from an input sound signal with an input sampling frequency an output sound signal with an output sampling frequency; a plurality of functional blocks configured to perform signal processing on the output sound signal; and a function selector configured to select one of the plurality of functional blocks. The output sound signal generator sets the output sampling frequency according to the internal sampling frequency used in the selected functional block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mixed powder for powder metallurgy containing an iron-base powder and a carbon supply component, in which the carbon supply component contains a graphite powder and a carbon black, and in which a mixing ratio of the graphite powder to the carbon black is in the range of 25 to 85 parts by weight to 75 to 15 parts by weight; and a mixed powder for powder metallurgy containing an iron-base powder and a carbon supply component, in which the carbon supply component contains, as a main component, a carbon black having a dibutyl phthalate absorption of 60 mL/100 g or less and a nitrogen absorption specific surface area of 50 m2/g or less. The mixed powder for powder metallurgy of the invention is less in the dust generation and segregation of the carbon supply component. Additionally, when the mixed powder for powder metallurgy of the invention is used, a green compact and a sintered body excellent in the mechanical property can be produced.

Abstract: An electric vehicle has two driving operation blocks with the same appearance that are provided at both the front and rear ends of the body of the vehicle symmetrically around a point. The vehicle employs a collapsible driver's seat. The vehicle has four driving and steering blocks. Each of the driving and steering blocks contains a wheel, a drive motor that rotates the wheel and a steering gear motor that changes the direction of the wheel. A service floor of the vehicle does not have a wall and a floor height is extremely low for easy access by a senior citizen or a person in a wheel chair.
