Abstract:
A system and method for automatically controlling a vehicle speed to a desired cruise speed includes an inhibit switch connected in parallel to a line between a power supply and a main self hold power supply switch (self-hold type) of an automatic cruise controlling system. When the vehicle speed is below a predetermined value, the inhibit switch is open so that the automatic cruise speed controlling system cannot receive power via the main, switch. Thus, wasteful comsumption of power is reduced.
Abstract:
A video cassette recorder for rental use having a timer means for counting the preset time, a back up power-supply such as battery and so on, and a start means for starting said timer means whereby the recorder makes only the normal reproducing operation impossible to perform till the re-start is performed after the lapse of the preset time from the timer start.
Abstract:
An automatic performance device is of a type in which the automatic performance is executed in accordance with musical data read out successively. It comprises a fast feed stop control circuit for advancing the progress of the automatic performance when an actual key depression timing is faster than an ideal key depression timing indicated by the read out musical data and for temporarily stopping the progress when the former delays behind the latter. Comparison between the actual key depression timing and the ideal key depression timing is made by comparing the content of a counter counting the tempo pulses which decides the tempo of the automatic performance with note-length information included in the musical data. It further comprises a tempo control circuit for changing a period of the tempo pulses based on a tempo of a performance made by the actual key depression. The detection of the tempo of the performance made by the actual key depression is based on a count value of a counter counting the clock pulses whose period varies with the note-length information and presence or absence of the actual key depression. In order to prevent the period of the tempo pulses from being changed by only one great deviation of the actual key depression timing, the count value is latched at every key depression, the newest count values are kept, and the tempo detection may be made in accordance with the average value of the newest count values.

Abstract:
At the time of preparing polyphenylene ether resin, there can be separated and recovered efficiently an aromatic compound solvent, amines making an azeotrope with water (hereafter, referred to as ‘the amines’ for short.) and methanol. A method for producing polyphenylene ether, which comprises (a) a step for synthesizing polyphenylene ether by subjecting phenol to oxidative polymerization in the presence of a copper compound and amines in an aromatic compound solvent, (b) a step for precipitating polyphenylene ether particles by adding methanol into the solution of polyphenylene ether in the aromatic compound solvent obtained by the step (a), (c) a step for solid-liquid separating a slurry of polyphenylene ether obtained by the step (b), and then washing the separated polyphenylene ether particles with methanol to obtain the polyphenylene ether, (d) a step for adding water to a filtrate obtained by the step (c) to mix them, and then liquid-liquid separating the mixture into a phase consisting mainly of the aromatic compound and a phase consisting mainly of methanol and water, and (e) a step for supplying the phase consisting mainly of methanol and water, obtained at the step (d) to the middle portion of a distilled column to perform distillation, and separating out a distillate liquid consisting mainly of methanol, a bottom liquid consisting mainly of water and a side-cut liquid containing the amines by distillation, recycling the distillate liquid consisting mainly of methanol as methanol of the steps (b) and (c), and recycling the side-cut liquid as part of the filtrate of the step (d).
