Patent EP-1102257-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI KOJI
IPC: G11B7/125
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: A controller for controlling interruptions and
restarts when writing data to a recording medium by emitting
a laser beam against the recording medium. The controller
prevents buffer underrun errors. The laser beam is emitted
at a high power level when writing data on the recording
medium and at a low power read level when reading data from
the medium. The writing of data is interrupted when there
is a possibility of a buffer underrun error. When
restarting data writing from where the interruption
occurred, the laser beam is shifted from the read level to
the write level before reaching the location at which the
interruption occurred. This guarantees that the laser beam
has the required power level when writing is restarted.

Title: Pro-fragrance compounds
Inventor: MAO HSIANG KUEN
IPC: C07C43/303
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: Pro-fragrances containing certain acetals and/or ketals, which
may be used in detergent compositions for imparting residual fragrances
to surfaces washed with aqueous solutions of said detergent. The
fragrance is released by hydrolyzation of the pro-fragrance upon
exposure of surfaces washed in solution of said compositions to a
reduction in pH, thereby releasing a fragrance which is characteristic of
one or more of the hydrolysis products and in certain preferred pro-fragrance
compounds, which are believed to be novel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a power supply unit which can fail-safely monitor not
only for an excessive power supply output but also for an abnormal drop in output
level. At the time of start-up, with the start signal from a start circuit, an AC signal is
supplied to a primary side of a transformer and based on an AC output from a
secondary side of the transformer, an output for supplying to an external load is
generated and this output is monitored with a monitoring circuit. If the output level is
within a set upper and lower limit threshold value range the output is judged to be
normal and a high level normal verification signal is generated from the monitoring
circuit, and with the high level normal verification signal, an AC signal is supplied to
the primary side of the transformer, and the output supply to the external load is
continued.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) modulator for use with an
antenna, a television receiver, and a video tape recorder or
the like. The RF modulator contains a modulator which
converts an input video signal and an input audio signal into
a modulated signal having a predetermined channel frequency;
an amplifier amplifying an input signal from an antenna input
terminal; and a mixer which mixes the modulated signal with
the input signal amplified by the amplifier to output a mixed
signal from an antenna output terminal. A first switch is
connected in parallel with the amplifier between the antenna
input terminal and the antenna output terminal; a second
switch is connected between the antenna input terminal and
the amplifier; and a third switch is connected between the
mixer and the antenna output terminal. When the amplifier and
the modulator are not used, a signal path from the antenna
input terminal to the antenna output terminal through the
first switch can be formed and isolated from the amplifier
and the modulator by turning the second and third switches
off, so as to reduce power consumption and signal loss.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a colour CRT (11)
display having a one-beam electron gun (12) for reproducing colours by
sequentially switching respective chrominance signals, R, G, and B to be supplied
to the one-beam electron gun. The colour CRT display is characterised in that a
colour image displayed on a CRT screen (13) is picked up by a CCD image pickup
device (20) and the image pickup signal is stored in an image pickup signal
memory (21); the image pickup signal is compared with an original video signal
stored in a video signal memory (23) in terms of components of chromaticity
using an arithmetic operator (24); and the frequency and phase of the image
pickup signal of a VCO, which are required for determining the switching timing
of chrominance signals in a multiplexer (22), are adjusted so that the difference
between the image pickup signal and the original video signal in terms of
components of chromaticity is minimised. With this configuration, it is possible
to stably reproduce colours without generation of a black compression even when
the colour CRT display is applied to a high precision display.
