Abstract: [Problem] To provide a compound which may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT 2B  receptor and 5-HT 7  receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  [Means for Resolution] It was found that a pyrrole derivative  characterized by  the possession of a guanidinocarbonyl group or amido group as a substituent group at the 3-position, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, has a strong antagonism for both of the 5-HT 2B  receptor and 5-HT 7  receptor. In addition, the compound of the present invention having the antagonistic activity for both of the receptors showed a good pharmacological action in comparison with the case in which an antagonist selective for either one of the receptors was used alone. Based on the above, the compound of the present invention is useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT 2B  receptor and 5-HT 7  receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Abstract: A coupler for an excavator, the coupler comprising first and second recesses for receiving the pins of an attachment, a latching hook movable into and out of a latching state in which it closes the second pin-receiving recess, and a blocking bar movable into and out of a blocking state in which a portion of the blocking bar closes the first recess. The arrangement is such that, when the blocking bar is engaged in use by an attachment pin contained within the first recess, the action of the pin on the blocking bar urges the blocking bar into its blocking state. The blocking bar is further arranged so that, in the blocking state, it lies in the path of the latching hook and that, upon movement of the latching hook out of the latching state, the latching hook engages with the blocking bar to retain it in the blocking state.

Abstract: A plural-channel audio signal (e.g., a stereo audio) is processed to modify a gain (e.g., a volume or loudness) of a speech component signal (e.g., dialogue spoken by actors in a movie) relative to an ambient component signal (e.g., reflected or reverberated sound) or other component signals. In one aspect, the speech component signal is identified and modified. In one aspect, the speech component signal is identified by assuming that the speech source (e.g., the actor currently speaking) is in the center of a stereo sound image of the plural-channel audio signal and by considering the spectral content of the speech component signal.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter comprises a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) having a first and a second array (LC, MC) of charge stores (C1R, C11, C12, C21, C22, ..., C27) being switchable depending on a first and a second control signal. Charge stores of a subset of the charge stores of the second array (MC) have basically equal values. The digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generates an output voltage as a function of a switching state of the charge stores. The analog-to-digital converter further comprises a control register (SAR) for providing a digital value corresponding to the input voltage and generating a first control signal and an intermediate control signal according to a successive approximation principle. A switching selector (SCR) generates the second control signal as a function of the intermediate control signal such that segments having binary weighted values are formed with the charge stores of the subset in an arbitrary manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unique way of using a 2 N  bit synchronization pattern to obtain a faster and more reliable calibration of multiple data paths in a memory system. If the 2 N  bit synchronization pattern is generated with a known clock phase relationship, then the data-to-clock phase alignment can be determined using simple decode logic to predict the next m-bits from a just-detected m-bits. If the succeeding m-bit pattern does not match the predicted pattern, then the current data-to-clock alignment fails for a particular delay value adjustment in the data path undergoing alignment, and the delay in that data path is adjusted to a new value. The invention also ensures that data alignment will occur to a desired edge of the clock signal, e.g., a positive going edge, by forcing a failure of all predicted m-bit patterns which are associated with an undesired edge, e.g., a negative going edge, of the clock signal.
