Abstract: Direct up-conversion of a signal is accomplished using a sampling pulse generator circuit and a gated differential amplifier, enabled by the sampling signal. When not enabled, the output of the differential amplifier is pulled to zero. The sampling pulse is generated from a base frequency sine wave which is squared with a limiting amplifier, and further passed through one or more frequency doublers producing a times two signal, a times four signal and so on. The squared base frequency and frequency doubled signals are logically ORed to produce a short duration pulse which repeats at the frequency of the base signal. The resulting output is an amplitude modulated pulse doublet time domain waveform.

Abstract: A digital recording apparatus and a method for controlling a digital recording apparatus that provides for allowing the user to easily determine the available recording time that remains on a memory of the apparatus in response to a record command. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method includes steps of detecting a first user input representing a command to start recording, and enabling display of a first screen message responsive to the first user input, where the first screen message indicates a remaining recording time available on a memory of the apparatus. The command to start recording is a command that does not specify a total recording time, for example, by the user actuating a RECORD key on a remote control device associated with the apparatus. The present invention also automatically provides another screen message that allows the user to delete data from the memory if it is determined that insufficient available recording time remains on the memory.

dust once filtration efficiency of the air filter, and increases dust collection
amount. An air filter used for collecting dust, etc. is made by honeycomb
weave having a rough surface and consisting of squares, of which each of the
squares is formed by a combination of warp and the weft. A thread of the
warp that floats the longest rises to the highest; a thread of the weft that
floats the longest also rises the highest; the other threads of the warp and
the weft gradually rise lower; and a plain weave part becomes the lowest
valley. The air filter is woven by threads of the warp and the weft having
diameters of equal to or less than 0.22 mm, a dimension of one square is
made 9 to 12 mm, and a depth of the roughness is made equal to or greater
than 2.5 mm by using equal to or greater than 40 threads of the warp and
the weft per inch.
