摘要:
A system which detects the operation of a video tape recorder to obtain data related to the operation of the video tape recorder. The system is also capable of determining the dubbing condition of the video tape recorder over the recording of an ordinary broadcast. The system further determines the receiving channel of the video tape recorder or the television set by directly comparing video signals.

A data collecting apparatus is used in a survey system in which research data such as television audience ratings and market research data is collected by a data collecting device provided in each of a plurality of panelists' homes, the collected research data is sent to a data center through telephone links, and, at the data center, the data is processed with the aid of a large scale computer to calculate desired research data. The data collecting apparatus includes a channel detector for detecting a television channel being viewed, a market research data entry device, a personal data entry device, and a data processing device for storing and processing the entered data. The detected channel data and the entered personal data are transferred to the data processing device via domestic power supply lines. The market research data is efficiently entered with the aid of a bar-code reader and a keyboard in a sequence-non-ordered manner. The personal data is entered with an entry device using infrared light. The personal data entry device may have picture-like illustration images of respective panelists so that they need not remember personal identification numbers.
摘要:
The invention relates to an audience rating measuring system for a television and a video tape recorder and provides an audience rating measuring system which can give accurate audience data under various conditions, such as when a television and a video tape recorder are used in combination, that can not be measured by the conventional audience rating measuring systems in general use. The audience rating measuring system of the invention comprises means for video tape recorder channel discrimination, video tape recorder operation mode discrimination, and television channel discrimination.

Fold-down vehicle seat having a foldable seat cushion and a seat back foldable on to the seat cushion. In this seat, a link element is movably connected between the forward end portion of the seat cushion and a vehicle floor so as to be movable upwardly and downwardly. Also, a slide element is operatively provided between the backward end portion of the seat cushion and the vehicle floor, thereby allowing the seat cushion to be slidingly movable forwardly and backwardly of the seat. Thus, the seat cushion is foldable down to a folded-down storage position in the vehicle floor, with the seat back being foldable onto the seat cushion. A lock mechanism is provided between the slide element and seat cushion, so that the seat can be locked to the folded-down storage position and also adjustably locked to a desired seating height, in conjunction with the link and slide elements.
摘要:
A structure of a casing for covering a stay of a cantilever-type headrest, in which the headrest is supported via the stay on a seat back of an automotive seat in a cantilever way, and the casing, which covers the stay, has a flat abutment surface formed at the upper end thereof which is abutted against one lateral wall of the headrest body, the flat abutment surface being formed with a cut-away portion for defining an opening therein. Hence, a region of such one lateral wall of headrest body, against which is abutted the flat abutment surface of the casing, is upheaved within the opening, so as to create plural undesired wrinkles only at that region and thus interiorly of the casing, which prevents the wrinkles from appearing on the outer surface of headrest body around the casing.
摘要:
An arrangement for mounting a cantilever-type headrest in a seat, in which the headrest is inclined at an angle compensating for an illusional headrest inclination which occurs in the eyes of a person looking at such cantilever-type headrest appearance. Further, the headrest is dislocated from a common central vertical line with respect to a seat back of the seat, to thereby offset an illusional headrest dislocation towards a side of seat back where there is no headrest stay.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to designate an attribute of an image object to be superimposed with an additional object and perform first identification to identify an image object indicating the attribute designated, among image objects included in image data. The circuitry performs second identification to identify an image object that has not yet been superimposed with an additional object, among image objects identified by the first identification, and generates the additional object to be superimposed on the image object identified by the second identification.
摘要:
A monitoring apparatus for the use status of a car radio is disclosed. In addition to the function of identifying a radio station to which the car radio is tuned at any given time, the present apparatus is capable of identifying the individual actually in the driver's seat listening to that radio station, and of measuring the idle time during which the car radio could have been turned ON but actually was not. Also, the present apparatus has a rechargeable battery dedicated thereto, thereby to avoid overloading the vehicle-mounted storage battery used also for engine starter. Moreover, the present apparatus comprises a device for generating an excessive discharge alarm signal when the excessively discharged state of the rechargeable battery is detected. Furthermore, the present apparatus employs the radio station identification based on the detection of local oscillation frequency picked up at the tuner portion, which is in one to one correspondence with a radio station broadcast frequency.
