Abstract: A demultiplexing apparatus includes, in each of n stages, 2 n FC+RXHBFs that down-sample a signal, from which a high-frequency component is removed after frequency conversion is carried out, and output the signal. The demultiplexing apparatus extracts, from an input signal including a plurality of band signals, the band signals to thereby demultiplex the input signal. The demultiplexing apparatus includes a reception-filter-bank control unit that calculates, based on channel information including bands and frequency arrangement of the band signals, a dividing position on a frequency axis and a frequency offset value indicating a frequency conversion value and instructs the FC+RXHBF, which is set as a target of output of divided signals of the input signal, about the calculated values. The FC+RXHBF carries out frequency conversion based on the frequency offset value.

Abstract: This invention relates to a gas tank-handling device, a method of handling a gas tank and a forklift truck having such a gas tank-handling device. Heretofore, forklift trucks have been deemed unsuitable for handling gas tanks due to high risk of damage to either the gas tank or the forklift truck. Accordingly, placement of gas tanks typically requires the use of a truck loader crane to position the gas tank. This severely limits where the tank could be positioned on site. The present invention provides a device that enables a forklift truck to be used to move the gas tank. The device comprises a pair of tines mounted on and moveable laterally relative to a mounting frame and stubs mounted on the side face of the tines for engagement of the legs of the gas tank. The device will allow the gas tank to be held securely in place while on the forks and obviates the possibility of the gas tank rolling off the forks.
