Abstract: A solid state image device such as a CCD imager device includes a timing generator which generates and supplies a clamping circuit with, a clamping pulse for clamping a first signal, corresponding to one pixel, from a through region of a CCD shift register, and a clamping pulse for clamping a second signal, corresponding to one pixel, from an optical black region of a sensor array. Specifically, the clamping pulse for clamping the first signal clamps a signal, corresponding to a first pixel, from the through region, and the clamping pulse for clamping the second signal clamps a signal, corresponding to a second or following pixel, from the optical black region. An output signal from the clamping circuit is supplied to an A/D converter which converts the supplied signal at such timing as not to clamp the signal, corresponding to the first pixel, from the through region.

Abstract: In an ATF tracking control system operative to automatically determine the polarity of a tracking error signal in a digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing system, a digital signal undergoes digital modulation in such a manner that a frequency spectrum of a digital signal (F0) recorded on a first track (T0) has dips at predetermined frequencies (f1, f2), a frequency spectrum of a digital signal (F1) recorded on a second track (T1) has a peak at the frequency (f1) and a dip at the frequency (f2), a frequency spectrum of a digital signal (F0) recorded on a third track (T2) has dips at the frequencies (f1, f2) and a frequency spectrum of a digital signal (F2) on a fourth track (T3) has a peak at the second frequency (f2) and a dip at the first frequency (f1). Heads (A, B) scan the first to fourth tracks (T0, T1, T2, T3) alternately sequentially. The frequencies (f1, f2) are utilized as pilot signals for tracking control. A tracking error is determined on the basis of a difference in level between pilot signals contained in crosstalk signals from tracks adjacent to a track scanned with the head (A). The polarity of the tracking error is alternately switched by a switching signal generated on the basis of a reproduction signal by the head (B) to provide a tracking error signal (V E ). The travel speed of the magnetic tape is controlled in accordance with the tracking error signal such that the tracking error is rendered to be zero. In order to eliminate a difference in level between pilot signals recorded on the tracks, a variable gain amplifier (70) adjusts the signal level of any one of pilot signals (f1, f2) produced when the head (B) traces a track and another track, in such a manner that peak levels of the pilot signals are rendered to be equal to each other. As the pilot signals to be detected, any one kind of f1 and f2 pilot signals alone can be used. In an ATF tracking control system operable in the variable speed reproduction mode, heads (A, B) can pick up crosstalk signals and a timing for tracking control is set precedently in accordance with a reproduction speed.

Abstract: In a lift installation in which a multi-beam curtain (primary beam) extends across a lift car door opening, auxiliary transmitters direct secondary beams towards a detection zone in front of landing doors. The multi-beam curtain is intercepted by a passenger entering the lift to prevent premature door closure. However, premature closure is also prevented when a passenger stands in front of the landing doors, thereby causing some of the secondary beam to be reflected onto auxiliary receivers. This provides a low cost solution to the problem of non-detection of an obstruction in the closing path of the landing doors, but not intercepting the primary beam system and also provides an increase in the passenger convenience of the lift, as the doors are held open for a passenger approaching the lift, but not yet interrupting the primary beams.
