摘要:
A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus converts a digital signal into multi-value digital signals and performs recording/reproducing of a multi-value quadrature amplitude-modulated signal. By using the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulation, it is possible to remove the DC component in the recording signal and improve the utilization efficiency of the recording frequency band. Further, using a system to memorize the frequency characteristic of the magnetic recording/reproducing unit and effect Viterbi decoding regarding the intersymbol interference caused by the frequency as a convolutional coding, it is possible to detect the level without necessitating frequency equalization. Accordingly, there arises no deterioration of the S/N ratio by frequency equalization. Furthermore, by providing an encoder for error control coding by increasing the number of multi-values and a corresponding decoder, the error rate can be improved against the deterioration of the S/N ratio. Further, by bias recording the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal, non-linearity of the electromagnetic conversion system is relaxed, and deterioration of the S/N ratio by distortion is improved.

A sheet tobacco producing apparatus comprises a mixer, a kneader, a crusher, and a shaping machine. The mixer mixes tobacco chips with auxiliary substances including water, to produce wet round pieces. The kneader has a pair of rollers for kneading the wet round pieces to form a sheet intermediate. The crusher crushes the sheet intermediate to form crushed wet round pieces. The shaping machine has a pair of rollers for forming a final sheet product from the crushed pieces. Since the tobacco raw material is deformed from the sheet intermediate which is obtained after once kneaded, to round pieces again, it is easy to take the material iinto the gap between the rollers of the shaping machine, whicn increases the manufacturing speed of the apparatus.

A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus converts a digital signal into a multi-value digital signal, followed by recording/reproducing the quadrature biphase modulated multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal. By using a multi-value quadrature amplitude modulation, a direct current component in the recorded signal can be eliminated, and the utilization efficiency of the recording frequency band of the digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus can be improved. Also, with respect to the amplitude non-linear characteristic which occurs in the magnetic recording/reproducing process, by providing a compensating circuit during the mapping before recording or after reproducing and demodulating, the deterioration of the S/N ratio of the reproduced and demodulated signal can be reduced to decrease the errors in the decoded data. Furthermore by bias-recording the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulation signal, the non-linearity of the electromagnetic conversion system is alleviated to decrease the deterioration of the S/N ratio due to distortion, thereby making the application of the modulation scheme more reliable.

The reproduced signal processing section comprises a plurality of reproduced signal processing circuits each for converting the reproduced signals to the original video signal, a second switch circuit for selectively connecting one of the reproduced signal processing circuits to the head section, and a recognition circuit for recognizing what kind of signals are reproduced from the head section and producing a control signal for controlling the second switch circuit.
摘要:
In a system for connecting a video signal recording/reproducing apparatus and a color TV receiver, two component signals--a luminace signal and a carrier chrominance signal--are transmitted separately from each other from the video signal recording/reproducing apparatus to the TV receiver. The video signal recording/reproducing apparatus has first and second output terminals for respectively outputting luminance and carrier chrominance signals obtained from a color video signal reproduced from a recording medium. The color TV receiver has first and second input terminals adapted to be respectively connected to the first and second output terminals of the video signal recording/reproducing apparatus for receiving the luminace and carrier chrominance signals. The color TV receiver may be provided with a switching circuit for selecting a composite video signal received in the conventional manner or the separately received two component signals.

A radiation image erase unit erases a remaining radiation image from a stimulable phosphor sheet by exposing the same to erasure light after reading out a radiation image stored thereon by applying stimulating light to the stimulable phosphor sheet to cause the same to emit light representative of the radiation image and detecting and converting the light emitted from the stimulable phosphor sheet photoelectrically to an electric signal. When the illuminance of the erasure light emitted from erasing light sources is lowered, or one or more of the erasing light sources fail to be energized, the stimulable phosphor sheet is controlled to remain in the radiation image erase unit during a time dependent on the reduction in the illuminance of the erasure light. Any remaining radiation image is thus completely erased from the stimulable phosphor sheet in preparation for the recording of a next radiation image thereon.
摘要:
A video signal reproduction apparatus for reproducing a composite color video signal from a recording medium. A signal reproduced from the recording medium is divided into a frequency-modulated (FM) signal and a low-band-converted signal by filters. The FM signal is demodulated by a demodulater into a luminance signal. A first conversion circuit produces from the low-band-converted signal a chrominance signal without a phase jitter component. A second conversion circuit produces from the low-band-converted signal a high-band component of luminance signal with a same phase jitter component as that of the luminance signal obtained from the demodulator. The luminance signal from the demodulator, the high-band component of luminance signal and the chrominance signal are mixed to obtain the composite color video signal.

摘要:
A video signal recording/reproducing apparatus includes a first set of rotary heads mounted on a rotary disk and a second set of rotary heads mounted on head actuators which are also mounted on the rotary disk. The apparatus has two reproduction modes. A magnetic tape in the first reproduction mode is driven at a speed equal to the speed used in a recording mode. The magnetic tape in the second reproduction mode is driven at a speed which is different from the speed used in the recording mode. The apparatus has a negative feedback loop which detects the reproduced signal level of the second set of rotary heads and drives the head actuators in order to increase the reproduced signal level of the second set of rotary heads. In the first reproduction mode, the negative feedback loop is intermittently closed. At the period of time when the negative feedback loop is open, the negative feedback loop holds the value of its output signal to that of the last time period when the negative feedback loop was closed, and, in addition, the head actuator is not driven when the feedback loop is open. At a transitional period when the apparatus switches from the first reproduction mode to the second reproduction mode, a holding signal from the negative feedback loop is supplied to the head actuator.

A recording time mode detector for automatically detecting the recording time mode of reproducing video tape. This detector is constructed of a counter which counts the number of rotations of the capstan which drives the reproducing video tape and is reset by a reproduced control signal. The recording time mode is detected by the count stored in the counter.
