Abstract: A digital broadcast system is disclosed that real-time transmits additional information
broadcast data specialized for area and time information to receivers located
in a prescribed area via a gap filler. The digital broadcast system includes a
satellite control station, a gap filler, and a receiver. The satellite control station
assigns additional area ID codes to individual area-specialized additional information
broadcast data, and transmits the area-specialized additional information
broadcast assigned the additional area ID codes over a prescribed broadcast channel.
The gap filler receives broadcast data, and determines whether the area ID
code is contained in the received broadcast data. If it is determined that the determined
area ID code is equal to desired area-specialized additional information
broadcast data, the gap filler amplifies the output level of the received broadcast
data, and transmits the amplified broadcast data to a shadow area. The receiver
receives the re-transmitted broadcast data, and displays the area-specialized additional
information broadcast data.

Abstract: This invention transmits emergency information in
preference to a handset with high priority, in a security system
which uses a cordless phone apparatus with multi-handsets, which
is connected to a security control device which detects fire
and an intruder by a sensor. 
     In a cordless phone apparatus (228) with multi-handsets,
a base unit (227) is equipped with an emergency reporting priority
table (226) including priority information for determining a
communication sequence of emergency information to a plurality
of handsets (200), at the time of occurrence of an emergency,
and the base unit (227) determines a reporting sequence to each
handset on the basis of this table at the time of reporting
an emergency. 
     The emergency reporting priority table (226) can be
set/changed on a timely basis, in accordance with an allocation
site etc. of a handset. 
     For example, such a position that the pertinent handset
was placed is specified by a charging cradle to which charging
was carried out in the last instance, and a priority sequence
is determined in accordance with position priority of the
emergency reporting priority table. 
     Or, priority is given to a handset which is located at
a dangerous allocation site, in accordance with a type of an
alarm which is reported by a sensor and time that it was generated.

Abstract: An eddy current drive (711) has an electromagnet (15, 17) and an
armature (19). Either one of the electromagnet or the armature is coupled to
a motor shaft (31) so as to rotate therewith, while the other is coupled to a
load portion (21). The motor can rotate at a continuous speed, while the
speed of the load portion can vary by varying the energization of the
electromagnet, so as to vary the coupling between the electromagnet and
the armature. In one embodiment, the electromagnet is energized by way of
inductive coils (217, 219). The coils provide a rotary coupling. In another
embodiment, an electrical generator (713) is provided. The rotation of the
motor shaft (31) generates electrical current that is used to energize the
electromagnet. The amount of the electrical current that is provided to the
electromagnet can be varied to vary the output speed of the load portion.

Abstract: An information recording-reproducing apparatus and method is provided wherein control information sequence (ADIP address) is read out based on the detection of a sync mark and whereby the recovery from the state where control information sequence cannot be restored can be quickened and the speed and efficiency of reading of control information sequence can be increased for improving readability. Data bits and sync marks are monitored for detection failure by comparing the information expected to be detected and that actually detected. When reading of the ADIP is started by the detection of a sync mark, if a data bit detection failure is detected in one word of ADIP address and an sync information detection failure is detected when the next ADIP address is read, this is judged to be a data bit detection failure resulting from a sync information detection failure and a sync information reread operation can be started.

Ce système et ce procédé peuvent faire intervenir une source une source d'ions de pulvérisation pouvant renfermer un gaz qui contient lui même des atomes d'ions de pulvérisation ; et un mécanisme de stimulation qui excite ces atomes en un état ionisé, l'état ionisé étant sélectionné pour sa distribution autour d'un pic d'énergie choisi qui présente une probabilité de pulvérisation élevée pour le second matériau et faible pour le premier matériau. Le mécanisme de stimulation peut comprend un dispositif d'induction RF ou à micro-ondes. Le gaz est maintenu à une pression déterminant en partie le pic d'énergie choisi et le mécanisme de stimulation peut créer un flux d'ions de matériau de pulvérisation qui créé une densité de pulvérisation des atomes du second matériau à partir de la surface réfléchissante qui égale ou dépasse l'afflux de d'atome de débris de plasma du second matériau. Le taux de pulvérisation peut être sélectionné pour une durée de vie souhaitée de la surface réfléchissante. La surface réfléchissante peut être recouverte. Le collecteur peut comprendre un miroir elliptique et un écran anti-débris avec canaux radiaux. Le premier matériau peut être du molybdène, le deuxième du lithium et le matériau ionique de l'hélium. Le système peut comporter un chauffage faisant s'évaporer le second matériau de la surface réfléchissante. Le mécanisme de stimulation peut être connecté à la surface réfléchissante pendant les périodes d'allumage. La surface réfléchissante peut comporter des couches écrans. Le collecteur peut être constitué par un miroir sphérique combiné à des coquilles réfléchissantes d'angle d'incidence qui peuvent agir comme un filtre spectral par sélection du matériau en couche pour les empilements multi-couches sur les coquilles réfléchissantes. La pulvérisation peut se fait conjointement avec le chauffage, qui extraient le lithium et les composés lithium, respectivement. La pulvérisation peut se faire au moyen d'ions produits dans le plasma et non au moyen d'atomes de gaz excités.

La carte de séparation comprend un matériau conducteur disposé sur un côté, et un code barre indiquant la source de la liasse de documents. Les documents et la carte de séparation transportés au moyen d'un mécanisme de transport passent, respectivement, par une unité d'évaluation et un capteur à effet de champ. Le dispositif de traitement de documents évalue chaque document, détermine si le document est conforme ou pas à des critères prédéterminés, et détecte la présence d'un matériau conducteur lorsqu'une carte de séparation passe par le capteur. Les informations d'identification de la source de chaque carte de séparation sont entrées dans une mémoire du dispositif de traitement de documents lorsque tous les documents de la liasse de documents correspondante atteignent les critères prédéterminés. Le dispositif d'alimentation s'arrête suffisamment longtemps entre chaque liasse pour vérifier que la liasse précédente est bien conforme aux critères. L'arrêt du dispositif d'alimentation pour détecter les anomalies des documents avant le traitement des liasses suivantes facilite l'intégrité des liasses et réduit les erreurs de l'opérateur.
