Abstract: Moisture absorbing efficiency of excrement is enhanced by
providing a high degree of porosity and a high porosity ratio to a hydraulic
granulated body and a non-hydraulic granulated body in a method of
manufacturing a granulated body for absorbing excrement of animals.
There is provided a method of manufacturing a granulated body for
absorbing excrement of animals, characterized in that a dry bamboo fiber
(1) and a wood fiber (2) are used as chief material, the said dry bamboo
fiber (1) and wood fibers are mixed with each other while adding moisture
thereto and the dry bamboo fiber (2) are allowed to absorb the moisture, the
resultant is granulated to form a wet granulated body (3), hot air is blown to
the wet granulated body (3), the moisture absorbed in the dry bamboo fiber
(1) is transpired outward through the wet granulated body (3) by the hot air,
and a porous structure in the dry bamboo fiber (1) in the wet granulated
body (3) is reproduced by the transpiration and an infinite number of
transpiring paths are formed in the wet granulated body (3) to obtain a

Abstract: A storage container for disk-like information media, such as, for example, CDs and DVDs, has a lower part ( 1 ), a cover ( 2 ) pivotably connected to the lower part, and an unlocking button ( 7 ) which, in the locked state, can be caused to clamp the information medium and/or the cover. In order to ensure secure fixing of the cover ( 2 ) in the closed state with the use of the unlocking button ( 7 ) and to keep the production costs for the storage container low, the unlocking button ( 7 ) is molded onto the lower part ( 1 ). The unlocking button ( 7 ) preferably has a relatively short limb and a relatively long limb connected to the short limb. The short limb is connected to the base of the lower part, and when the button ( 7 ) is in the locked state and the cover ( 2 ) is closed, projects away from the base in the direction of the cover. The long limb of the button has a surface which, when the button is in the locked state and the cover closed, is at least in part substantially flush with the upper surface of the cover ( 2 ), the relatively short limb of the button ( 7 ) being capable of elastic bending deformation in an outward direction as a result of a pressure exerted on the surface of the long limb.

Abstract: A video display apparatus includes a cathode ray tube and a high voltage transformer. The high voltage transformer incorporates a high voltage winding for producing an anode voltage in the cathode ray tube. The high voltage winding has a tap which provides a focus voltage for the electron gun assembly of the cathode ray tube. The transformer also includes a primary winding which is included in a resonant circuit. A third winding has a second portion that is wound to be closely coupled to the portion of the high voltage winding not associated with the generation of focus voltage. The third winding is coupled between the primary winding and a capacitor to produce a current that controls a variation of a ratio between the focus voltage and the anode voltage as a function of variation in a beam current in the cathode ray tube.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system using a reference channel used for error rate measurement and associated with a plurality of transport channels multiplexed on a coded composite transport channel (CCTrCH), a method is employed for reselection of the reference channel from favorable candidate transport channels. A channel is initially selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reference channel. Channels are monitored (503) based on quantitative data content criteria to determine whether an ON or OFF state exists. A different channel is selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reselected RTrCH when a better candidate transport channel in the ON state becomes available, or when the monitored RTrCH reflects an OFF state.

Abstract: A wide frequency range signal from a test sound source
(1) is reproduced successively by a plurality of speakers (101)
to (104), and the reproduced sound is detected by a plurality of
microphones (111) and (112), after which the frequency
characteristics thereof are obtained at FFTs (4b) and (4c), while
obtaining the frequency characteristics of the wide frequency range
signal at an FFT (4a). A high frequency range level is normalized
with a low frequency range level, and a determination section (8)
compares the normalized value with a reference value stored in
a reference value storage section (9) to determine the number and
positions of people in the sound field. At the same time, the
transfer functions between the speakers and the microphones are
calculated at transfer function calculators (10a) and (10b), and
impulse responses are obtained at IFFTs (12a) and (12b), after
which a reverberation time calculator (13) calculates the
reverberation time based on the impulse responses. An audio signal
is adjusted based on the results obtained from the determination
section (8) and the reverberation time calculator (13), whereby
it is possible to optimize the audio reproduction according to
changes in the sound field.
