Abstract:
An initializing circuit (20) for setting the initial state of a latching circuit (30) in a semiconductor device when switching on a power supply. The initializing circuit is provided with a sensing circuit (TR1, TR2, R, 21) which operates according to switching on the power supply and senses that the power supply voltage (Vcc) increases to a predetermined voltage, and a circuit (22) for controlling output levels which responds to a sense signal (V1) outputted from the sensing circuit and pulls up the level of the output signal (Vout) of the initializing circuit to a high potential level or pulls down it to a low potential level. After the power is interrupted and when the power is supplied again, the latching circuit (30) is fed with the output signal controlled by the circuit (22) as its power source voltage. Consequently the latching circuit can be reliably initialized, and the malfunction on restart is prevented.
Abstract:
In a communication equipment having a transmission device (120B) connected with first and second transmission lines (L1, L2) and a switching system (110B) connected with the transmission device, the transmission device has a codec (123) and a switching section (122). When an aural signal received from the first transmission line (L1) is sent to a terminal provided in the switching system (110B), the aural signal of a low bit rate is converted by the codec (123) to the one of the bit rate which can be processed by the switching system (110B). On the other hand, when the aural signal received from the first transmission line (L1) is sent to the second transmission line (L2), it is sent out to the second transmission line (L2) via the switching section (122) without passing the codec (123), leaving it low in bit rate.

Abstract:
The present invention is a system that converts a vertical file (28) of time series data records from multiple terminals (10-14) and stored by time into a horizontal file (52) where records are organized by terminal (10-14). The user can then access the desired terminal information rapidly in the horizontal file (52) rather than having to perform an inefficient sequential search of the vertical file (28). After the terminal data is horizontally stored, the data is used to create display or print-out windows of the terminal data for many locations. Each window includes the data from a single terminal (10-14). For example, each window could include a graph of rain data for a location. The system also creates a cross reference table (76) of the addresses of the data used to create each window. When the display arrangement is altered, the data in the horizontal file (52/74) is reorganized to match the display order while only the physical addresses of the data for each terminal are changed in a new cross reference table (80).

Abstract:
A device for adjusting the focal point of an optical pickup device in which the light reflected by a recording medium is focused at points of two systems using an optical branching filter, first and second light detectors are disposed, respectively, in front of one focal point and at the back of the other focal point, and a focal point adjusting mechanism is servo-controlled in response to the outputs from the two light detectors. Each of the light detectors has a central light-receiving surface on the optical axis and a peripheral light-receiving surface in the periphery of the central light-receiving surface. According to a first method, the focal point adjusting mechanism is servo-controlled such that the deviation will become zero between the ratio of the amount of light received in the center to the total amount of light received in the center and periphery of the first light detector and the ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of light in the center and periphery of the second light detector. Even if the two detectors receive different amounts of light, the difference is cancelled between the denominator and the numerator of the ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of light in the center and periphery, and the device is not affected by the imbalance in the amount of light. According to a second method, the focal point adjusting mechanism is basically servo-controlled based on the difference between the amounts of light received in the centers of the two light detectors. Here, the difference in the total amount of light received by the two light detectors is calculated throughout all stages, and the difference is used to calculate a correction value multiplied by the component ratio of the amount of light in the center to the total amount of the light received in a focused condition. Since the calculated correction value is subtracted from the difference in the amount of light received in the centers, the servo output does not contain imbalance in the amount of light falling on the light detectors of the two systems, and the device is not affected by the imbalance in the amount of incident light.
Abstract:
A balancing network of wave digital filter type consisting of three-terminal-pair conversion adaptors (21 to 26) connected in cascade each of which having a capacitor (C) and a resistor (R) as constituent elements to exhibit a filter operation function. Based on the fact that no wave is reflected by a terminal pair other than the two terminal pairs for cascade connection of the conversion adaptors (22, 24, 26) that include the resistor (R), the above terminal pair is excluded and these adaptors are combined with the neighboring conversion adaptors (21, 23, 25) that include the capacitor (C) in order to form a new three-terminal-pair-combined conversion adaptor (41) which realizes a filter function with an operation amount which is smaller than the sum of operation amounts of the three-terminal-pair conversion adaptors (21 to 26).
