Inventor: OHTANI HISAO
IPC: G11B19/04
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: Vibrations transferred to the outside are lessened and high performance against
external vibrations and impact is maintained. Further, data is recorded and reproduced
satisfactorily. 
     A CD-ROM drive device is provided which is capable of reproducing data at a
standard speed, a quadruple speed and a sextuple speed. When a disk is mounted to the
CD-ROM drive device, TOC information is read in a playback state at the standard speed
(ST1). Next, the disk is placed in a playback state at the sextuple speed and is set to a
state held at a predetermined address position (ST2). It is distinguished using a tracking
error signal, a control signal for a spindle motor, etc. whether the disk is either an
eccentric disk or an unbalance disk (ST3). When the disk is found not to be either the
eccentric disk or the unbalance disk, a playback speed is set to the sextuple speed. On the
other hand, when the disk is found to be either the eccentric disk or the unbalance disk,
the playback speed is set to the quadruple speed. When the disk is found to be the
unbalance disk, the playback speed is reduced to restrain the generation of self-induced
vibrations at reproduction.

Abstract: A method for transmitting an information signal such
as pictures and a transmitting apparatus and a receiving
apparatus for this signal, wherein transmitting a limited
information signal, a signal for showing an area to which the
limited information signal is applied, and a control signal
for controlling the display are transmitted, permits
transmitting information closely linked to the area of
subscribers and displaying this information at a
predetermined time to realize a transmission of information
effective for subscribers and increase convenience of the
subscribers. Further, transmitting following frequency
multiplexing or time-axis multiplexing the main information
signal and the limited information signal and multiplexing
a plurality of the limited information signals by time-division
permits the limited information signals
corresponding to many areas to be transmitted. Whereby
detailed information can be provided so that subscribers
convenience can be further improved. Still further,
transmitting menu screen information or the like enables
subscribers to select a limited information signal of an area
different from the limited information signal of a pre-set
area for improving the customers convenience.

Abstract: A method for providing narrowband-related service features to
subscribing broadband lines (131,133) comprises establishing a composite voice
path interconnecting a narrowband server (119) and the subscribing broadband line
(131) via a broadband switching fabric (106). Particularly, a call set-up signal is
received in a broadband call processor (104), converted to narrowband signaling
format and extended to a designated narrowband server (119). Responsive to receipt
of the call set-up signal, the designated narrowband server (119) establishes a
narrowband voice path interconnecting a narrowband network element (177) to a
synchronous-asynchronous converter (116). Subsequently, the broadband call
processor (104) establishes a broadband segment interconnecting the subscribing
broadband line (131) with the synchronous-asynchronous converter (116). The
broadband segment corresponds to the narrowband voice path to form a composite
voice path. The composite voice path is used by the designated narrowband server
(119) to provide narrowband-related service features to the subscribing broadband
line (131). After a call in which narrowband-related features may be invoked has
been disconnected, the composite voice path is released.

Abstract: This is a catheter section having a number of radially placed holes through
the catheter section wall and a catheter assembly including that section. That
catheter assembly may be used in accessing and treating a tissue target within the
body, typically one which is accessible through the vascular system. Central to
the catheter section is the presence of a braided metallic reinforcing member,
typically of super-elastic alloy ribbon, situated in such a way to provide an
exceptionally thin wall, controlled stiffness, high resistance to kinking, and
complete recovery in  vivo  from kinking situations. The orifices in the section are
optimally placed in the interstices between the turns of the braid. The braid may
have a single pitch or may vary in pitch along the axis of the catheter or catheter
section. The braided ribbon reinforcing member typically is placed between a
flexible outer tubing member and an inner tubing member to produce a catheter
section which is very flexible but highly kink resistant. 
     The catheter sections made according to this invention may be used alone
or in conjunction with other catheter sections either made using the concepts
shown herein or made in other ways. The more proximal sections of the catheter
assembly are often substantially stiffer than the more distal sections due to the
presence of stiff polymeric tubing or metallic tubing or composited materials in
the stiffer section.

Abstract: A thermal relief valve (10) for a gas cylinder (40)
has a body (12) with an inner wall defining a passageway or
bore (14) for flow of fluid between inlet (44) and outlet
(42). A piston (16) within the bore moves between a first
position arresting flow from inlet to outlet, and a second
position permitting flow from inlet to outlet. A
restricting assembly (28) for arresting movement of the
piston towards the second position includes a thermal
sensitive element (24) of suitable eutectic material at the
bore inner wall, with protrusions (18) of the piston
defining a first camming surface (22), and two or more
restricting elements (28a-28d) defining a second camming
surface (32) positioned to engage the first camming surface.
The thermal sensitive element, at lower temperatures,
maintains the second camming surface for engagement with the
first camming surface, thereby to arrest movement of the
piston, and, at higher temperatures, permits movement of the
restricting elements into a position with the second camming
surface spaced from engagement with the first camming
surface, thereby to permit movement of the piston to release
fluid.

Abstract: A single pass color printer (10) employs a band

inner area, an annular lens area and an outer area such
that the annular lens area divides the inner area from the
outer area and has a ring shape centered at a vertex. The

transmitted through the annular lens area located between
the inner area and the outer area so that information
cannot be read from the information recording surface of
