Abstract:
To provide a recorder that can change its video recording modes automatically according to the type of a signal received without having the user pay his or her attention to the signal type even in a situation where HD and SD video signals having mutually different transfer rates are broadcast on the same channel. The recorder can write a data stream on multiple types of storage media and includes: a receiving section for receiving a digital broadcasting wave and outputting a data stream; a transfer rate detecting section, which receives the data stream and detects its transfer rate; a recording processing section for performing either a first type of recording processing including a compression coding process or a second type of recording processing including no compression coding process on the data stream received; and a selecting section for selecting either the first or second type of recording processing according to the transfer rate. The recorder writes the data stream that has been processed by the recording processing section on one of the storage media.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disc is provided. The multimedia optical disc includes a data area and a management information area. The data area stores a plurality pieces of video data. The management information area stores a channel table in which a plurality of logical channel numbers are respectively related to a plurality of physical channel numbers for each piece of video data. A piece of moving picture data and a plurality pieces of sub-data are interleaved in each piece of video data. The sub-data is either of audio data and sub-picture data as still pictures. The logical channel numbers are shared by pieces of video data. The physical channel numbers are used to physically identify the plurality pieces of sub-data. With this construction, it is possible to manage sub-data even when the sub-data is dealt with by a plurality pieces of video data.
Abstract:
A holding recess (14) for holding the self-supporting-type cable (1) is formed between elastic holding portions (12, 13). Retaining projections (12a, 13a) are formed respectively on those side surfaces of the elastic holding portions (12, 13), exposed to the holding recess (14), in stepped relation to each other. Even when the self-supporting-type cable (1) is held in any posture, with its cable body portion (2) or its wire support portion (3) first introduced into the holding recess (14), the cable body portion (2) is engaged with the two retaining projections (12a, 13a) in a press-contacted manner to be prevented from withdrawal, or the cable body portion is engaged with the retaining projection (13a) and the bottom of the holding recess (14) in a press-contacted manner, and therefore is held in a stable manner.
Abstract:
An optical disc on which a variety of types of video titles are recorded and which enables a reproduction apparatus to instantly distinguish whether emulated AV functions may be performed for any of the titles. The optical disc includes a manager area which stores playback type information corresponding to the management information for each video title, with the playback type information including a first flag showing whether the present video title is expressed using one or a plurality of sets of route information and a second flag showing whether a title is expressed using any branch information.
Abstract:
An optical disc includes a data area for recording a plurality of video segments and index area for recording original type chain information and user-defined type chain information. The original type chain information defines an original type chain including first ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the first video segments. The user-defined type chain information defines a user-defined type chain including second ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the second video segments. The first video segments are positioned in the data area in the reproduction order of the first video segments whereas the second video segments are positioned in the data area independently of the reproduction order of the second video segments.
Abstract:
A condenser microphone in which a back electrode, disposed oppositely to the rear surface of a diaphragm, and a circuit assembling plate disposed oppositely to the rear surface of the back electrode, are held in a holder.Electronic circuit elements are attached to only one surface of the circuit assembling plate, and the other surface thereof is faced toward the rear surface of the back electrode with a predetermined distance provided therebetween. A back chamber, defined by a space between the back electrode and the circuit assembling plate, and enclosed by the holder improves the characteristics of microphone frequency response.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a terminal allowing work for attaching the cap to the insertion part to eliminate, and to provide in a short time the cap to the insertion part, and a method of forming the cap of the terminal. In a terminal, at a tip end of a tubular insertion part a resin made cap is provided, the insertion part includes an annular portion with narrower diameter than that the insertion part at a tip end thereof, the cap is disposed at the insertion part by a dipping work covering the annular portion in an inner side away from a tip end of the insertion part past the annular portion.
Abstract:
A data processor includes: a parser receiving a data stream and separating, from the stream, video data including data of pictures, a first time information value showing a presentation time of each picture, audio data including data of frames, and a second time information value showing a presentation time of each frame; an output section for outputting the video and audio data to play back the pictures and frames; a reference register for counting amount of time passed since a predetermined reference time; a first differential register for calculating a difference between the first time information value of each picture and the time passed and holding it as a first differential value when the picture is output; a second differential register for calculating the difference between the second time information value of each frame and the time passed and holding it as a second differential value when the frame is output; and a control section for controlling the output of the video data according to the magnitude of the first differential value to that of the second differential value.
Abstract:
A method for cleaning a glass substrate which ensures removal of abrasive and other foreign matter without making a cleaning step complicated involves cleaning the glass substrate by scrubbing using two or more types of cleaning liquid having different Si element elution abilities. The cleaning liquid having the highest Si element elution is used first, and the cleaning liquid having the lowest Si element elution is used last.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a glass substrate for an information recording medium ensures removal of an abrasive or foreign mater adhered to the glass substrate after a polishing step, and involves, after the polishing step, keeping the surface of the glass substrate in contact with a liquid for 10 minutes or more before a scrub-cleaning step. To ensure that the abrasive or foreign matter firmly adhered to the glass substrate is removed by scrub-cleaning, preferably, the surface of the glass substrate is kept in contact with the liquid with the glass substrate immersed in the liquid which is collected.
