Abstract: A connector device includes a main body having a plug section. The main body accommodates therein two contact members, a bidirectional diode-thyristor, and a distal end portion of a signal-transmission cable connected with an external electronic equipment. The two contact members are connected with two terminals of the thyristor and two conductor wires of the signal-transmission cable, to thereby obtain a modular plug with overvoltage protection. By inserting the modular plug into a modular jack, the external electronic equipment is connected with a communication line. If an overvoltage is applied to the communication line, the thyristor is rendered conductive to absorb the overvoltage, so that the electronic equipment is protected from the overvoltage. In place of designing the connector plug to hold the distal end portion of the signal-transmission cable, the connector body may be formed with a socket section which receives an external modular plug, to thereby obtain a modular adapter with overvoltage protection which is used to connecting a modular plug with a modular jack.

Abstract: A phase retarder film comprising a layer of polyvinyl
alcohol or a derivative thereof and a water-swellable
layered inorganic compound, wherein the in-plane
retardation value is smaller than the retardation value in
the thickness direction, sometimes causes durability
failures, that is, the layer is peeled off from a transparent
resin substrate in high temperature and high humidity
environment. Therefore, the present invention provides a
phase retarder film which is superior in durability. 
     With respect to a phase retarder film comprising at
least one layer containing at least one organic clay compound
which can be dispersed in an organic solvent, wherein the
in-plane retardation value is smaller than the retardation
value in the thickness direction, the durability is
remarkably improved.

Abstract: A band splitter 3 makes predetermined frequency
band splitting and computes each sub-band spectral
coefficient for the cut out speech siganl.
Analyzers 5 and 7 each computes a spectral
coefficient vector of each sub-band. Adders 15 and
17 each obtain a result e(i) of subtraction of each
sub-band predicted spectral coefficient vector s_(i)
computed in the band splitter 13 from a spectral
coefficient vector s(i). A quantizer 19 quantizes
the result e(i) of subtraction for the full band,
thus outputting a quantized prediction error vector
e_(i) from output terminals 21 and 22. A full-band
quantized vector E_(i) is generated by combining the
quantized prediction error vectors c_(i) of all the
sub-bands. A synthesizer 9 outputs a full-band
spectral coefficient vector S_(i) by combining the
spectral coefficient vectors s(i) of all the
sub-bands received from each of the analyzers 5 and
7. An optimum prediction circuit 11 computes a
full-band predicted spectral coefficient vector
S^(i) from the full-band quantized vector E_(i)
received from the quantizer 19 and the full-band
predicted spectral coefficient vector S_(i). A band
splitter 13 band splits the full-band predicted
spectral coefficient vector S^(i), and computes each
sub-band predicted spectral coefficient vector
s_(i).
