Abstract: A karaoke device with built-in microphone includes a main body microphone, and converts an audio signal from the microphone into audio data by an A/D converter, and writes the audio data into a ring buffer by mixing with the data already stored in the ring buffer. If an echo mode is set, a delay time constant (CD) corresponding to the echo mode is determined, and on the basis thereof, a size of the ring buffer is set. The data is read from the ring buffer, and is inputted in a sound channel. If a voice effect mode is set, a reproduction frequency constant (CF) corresponding to the voice effect mode is determined, and based thereon, an inclement value of a read pointer of the ring buffer is determined, and then, the data is read from an address indicated by the read pointer. When the read pointer reaches the delay time constant, the relevant constant is subtracted from the read pointer value. Furthermore, it becomes possible to simultaneously use a microphone of an additional microphone and the main body microphone by inserting a microphone plug of the additional microphone into a microphone jack of the karaoke device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fuel metering method is described for setting a
desired air-to-fuel ratio in the combustible mixture to a
controlled auto-ignition engine in which intake air is
admitted through a wide open throttle and controlled
indirectly by varying the mass of residual gases in the
combustion chamber at the instant when the intake valve
opens by regulating the timing of the closing of the exhaust
valve during the exhaust stroke. The method comprises the
steps of deriving a coarse estimation of the mass air flow
into the engine based upon the timing of the closing of the
exhaust valve, deriving a coarse estimation of the fuel
quantity required based on the coarse estimation of mass air
flow to achieve a desired air-to-fuel ratio to the engine,
setting a nominal fuel supply quantity to the engine in
accordance with the coarse estimation of the required fuel
quantity, and adjusting the nominal fuel quantity by closed-loop
adjustment based on the deviation from a reference
value of a reading from a sensor responsive to the oxygen
content of the engine exhaust gases.
