Abstract:
A broadcasting receiver suitable for receiving a broadcasting signal transmitted in an IBOC signal format, comprises: a channel seek directing means for directing to start a channel seeking operation that selects selectable channel in an order of frequency; a channel seek controlling means for starting and controlling the channel seeking operation in accordance with the direction of the channel seek directing means; and a multichannel determining means for determining whether a selected frequency channel is providing multichannel digital broadcasting or not; and wherein the channel seek controlling means selects a next subchannel in an order of identification code before searching for the next frequency channel, if it is determined by the multichannel determining means that the selected frequency channel is providing the multichannel digital broadcasting.

Abstract:
A cast iron cylinder liner of the present invention includes a plurality of grooves formed on an outer surface of the cylinder liner. Each of the grooves extends in a circumferential direction of the cylinder liner in a ring or spiral shape, and the grooves divide the outer surface of the cylinder liner into a plurality of ring or spiral sections. The outer surfaces of the ring sections have a uniform distance from the central axis of the cylinder liner over the entire area of the outer surfaces, and the grooves being arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the cylinder liner in an axial direction thereof. Each of the grooves has a J-shaped longitudinal cross-section including a first inclination part and a groove bottom part. The first inclination part extends from the outer surface of one of the ring sections or of one turn of the spiral sections toward the center of the cylinder liner in an axial direction thereof. The groove bottom part has a longitudinal cross-section approximately in the form of a circular arc, and extends from the first inclination part in a direction away from the center of the cylinder liner in an axial direction thereof

Abstract:
A building low yield ratio hot-dip galvanized cold rolled steel sheet having an improved refractory property, consists essentially of, by weight, 0.1% or less of C, 0.1 to 1.5% of Mn, 0.1% of less of P, 0.06% or less of Al, 0.6 to 2.0% of Cu, and a remainder of Fe and unavoidable impurities and having a 0.6 times or more yield point strength at 600.degree. C. compared to that at normal temperatures. The method of forming the steel sheet comprises the steps of: forming a slab from a steel consisting essentially of, by weight, 0.1% or less of C, 0.1 to 1.5% of Mn, 0.1% or less of P, 0.06% or less of Al, 0.6 to 2.0% of Cu, and a remainder of Fe and unavoidable impurities, immediately or after heating the slab at a temperature of 1200.degree. C. or less, hot rolling the slab at a temperature of 750.degree. C. or more and cold rolling, effecting a continuous hot-dip galvanizing process, heating the rolled slab at a temperature of 700.degree. to 900.degree. C. in a reducing atmosphere, cooling the rolled slab at an average cooling rate of 3.degree. C./sec or more and dipping the rolled slab in a hot-dip galvanizing bath.
Abstract:
A high strength cold rolled strip having excellent deep drawability and resistance to deterioration by natural aging and to planar cracking and useful for motor vehicles, is produced by hot rolling a steel slab comprising0.008-0.020% by weight of C,0.01-0.45% by weight of Mn,0.05-0.10% by weight of P,0.005-0.050% by weight of acid-soluble Al,and the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities in which N is limited to a content of 40 ppm or less, at a temperature of 1200.degree. C. or less but not lower than the Ar.sub.3 point of the steel slab; by cold rolling the resultant steel strip at a rolling reduction of 65% or more; by continuously annealing the cold rolled steel strip at a temperature of from 700.degree. to 900.degree. C. for 20 seconds to 3 minutes; by cooling the steel strip at a cooling rate of 5.degree. C./sec or more; by overaging the annealed steel strip at a temperature of from 320.degree. to 450.degree. C. for 1 to 10 minutes; by cooling said overaged steel strip to the ambient temperature, and, finally; by temper-rolling the cooled steel strip at the ambient temperature.

Abstract:
There is provided a single-differential converting circuit that can reduce the variations in the input voltage of an operational amplifier sufficiently, made by changes in the voltages input from the exterior, while maintaining the function as the amplifier. The single-differential converting circuit is configured to include: an operational amplifier 104 provided with an inverting input terminal 104a and a noninverting input terminal 104c, for respectively receiving an input signal and a signal indicative of a reference voltage, a noninverting output terminal 104b and an inverting output terminal 104d having opposite polarities to each other; and a positive feedback impedance element 103a connected between one of the two input terminals and one, of the output terminals, having a same polarity with the above one of the two input terminals.
