Patent EP-0893850-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TANAKA TSUTOMU
IPC: H01R13/187
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A female metal terminal comprises a terminal body having
a contact portion for contact with a tab of a male metal
terminal, a pressing member having a spring member for
pressing the tab against the contact portion, said spring
member being mounted on the terminal body, and a movement
limitation portion for limiting the movement of said tab
against the bias of said spring member. A pair of front and
rear movement limitation portions are formed on an upper wall
of the terminal body in such a manner that a contact portion
of the spring member for contact with the tab is disposed
between the two movement limitation portions. The tab is
inserted into a space between the spring member and the
contact portion, and in this condition, even when a tilting
force acts on the tab in an upward or a downward direction,
the movement of the tab against the bias of the spring member
is prevented by the movement limitation portion, so that the
proper condition of contact between the tab and the contact
portion is maintained.

Abstract: A piston ring arrangement comprises a piston ring (28) for
arrangement in a groove (29) of a piston (12), said piston ring (28)
having an outer surface for sliding along a surface (28a) in sealing
engagement, and an inner surface (28b) for arrangement in said groove, an elastic ring for
sealing arrangement between said inner surface and said pistons,
said elastic ring (31) being arranged so as to separate an upper portion of said inner surface from a lower portion of
said inner surface. Said piston ring (28) is provided with communication means (32,33) connecting
said upper portion of the inner surface with a first portion on the outer surface and
connecting said lower portion of the inner surface with a second portion on said outer
surface. Thus, the piston ring (28) is not pushed against the inner wall of a cylinder and so
does not cause an increase in the force of friction between it and the cylinder inner wall
even if pressure is exerted on its inner side accompanying movement of a piston.

Abstract: Prior scheduling and assignment methods stress equal utilization of each of the
processors in a system. These methods tacitly assume that each of the processors of
each of these systems are equal in capabilities, an assumption that neglects the fact
that as newer processors are added to a system to increase capabilities, the newer
processors often are faster and have greater throughput than the system's existing
processors. On such a system that has diverse processors, a equal utilization
scheduling and assignment method protects the slower processors from overload while
under utilizing the increased capabilities of the system's newer processors. Systems
with diverse processors can utilize the increased capabilities of the faster processors
by a method of calculating and assigning a request for service to the fastest processor
that is able to respond.

diode and output inductor and a second node (164) between the second output diode and
output inductor, that selectively: (1a) closes to create an inter-inductor conductive path
to couple the first and second output inductors in parallel and to allow the power
converter to operate at a first output voltage, and (1b) opens to break the inter-inductor
conductive path and to allow the power converter to operate at a second output voltage
lower than the first output voltage, and (2) first and second conductive paths (Df1, Df2),
coupling the center tap to the first node and the second node, respectively, that provide
conductive paths for the output current.

Abstract: A method of speeding up playback of a digitised audio signal without raising
the pitch and without introducing discontinuities in the speech signal, comprises sub-band
coding (SBC) consecutive blocks of the audio signal with standard SBC or wavelet
compression to derive frames of data. Next periodic adjacent pairs of the frames are
dropped to leave a stream of remaining frames. A sped up approximation of the digitised
audio signal is then reconstructed by sub-band decoding consecutive remaining frames. The
method can also be used to slow speech playback by replicating, rather than dropping,
adjacent pairs of frames.

Abstract: The present invention provides an audio video recording
and reproducing system that does not only enable a noiseless
reproduced image or a noiseless still image in an arbitrary
place to be viewed even during special reproduction at an
arbitrary speed but that also significantly increases the
speed at which to access a desired position to enable the
signal for the desired position to be easily and speedily
searched for for reproduction. Sounds and videos from a
digital VCR (500) are digitally recorded on and reproduced
from a hard disc (100) in a hard disc apparatus (H1), and the
reproduced information is recorded on the digital VCR (500),
while an image is reproduced by a monitor TV (504). All or
part of an AV/subcode digital stream signal for the sounds
and videos is continuously recorded within a predetermined
range of the hard disc (100) from a disc interface device (107).
Then, an operation control input device (S1) is used to change
the settings of the movement speed and stationary position
of a transducer (122) which settings are used during tracing.
An AV/subcode digital stream signal reproduced by the
transducer (122) is transmitted to the digital VCR (500)
through the disc interface device (107), and the resulting
analog audio video signal is applied to the monitor TV (504).
