Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a signal receiving apparatus includes a first setting module, a calculator, a detection module, a generator, and a determination module. The first setting module is configured to set a rising or falling of an arbitrary high pulse as a starting point. The calculator is configured to calculate a sampling period based on intervals between a plurality of high pulses. The detector is configured to set a multiple of the sampling period from the starting point as reference points and to detect positions where the plurality of high pulses are generated from each of the reference points. The generator is configured to generate a histogram for the positions where the plurality of high pulses are generated. The determination module is configured to determine positions obtained by adding a value of a peak in the histogram to each of the reference points as sampling points.
Abstract:
An information recording apparatus according to one aspect of this invention comprises a detection unit configured to detect a manufacturing error unique to an information storage medium, a transmission unit configured to transmit the manufacturing error detected by the detection unit to an external apparatus, a reception unit configured to receive a recordable capacity which is calculated by the external apparatus on the basis of the manufacturing error transmitted from the transmission unit, a limitation unit configured to limit data to be supplied on the basis of the recordable capacity received by the reception unit, and a recording/aborting unit configured to record the recording data, supply of which is limited by the limitation unit, or to abort recording of the recording data.
Abstract:
An optical disk apparatus for recording and reproducing data corresponding to a track length. The track length is obtained by subtracting a total length of an m (m: natural number) number of sectors from the distance by which a track is moved when a disk is rotated an n (n: natural number) number of times.
Abstract:
Dispersants for organic pigments comprise compounds represented by the following formula (I): wherein X and X′ each independently represent H, OH, alkoxy, primary, secondary or tertiary amino, or acylamino; Y represents an anthraquinonylamino, phenylamino or phenoxy group having H, OH, alkoxy, primary, secondary or tertiary amino, or acylamino at the 4-position or 5-position; A and B each independently represent alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, and at least one of A and B has at least one substituent group containing a basic nitrogen atom; and Z represents H, CN, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, NO2, benzoylamino or 3-benzoyl, and the 3-benzoyl group may be fused together with X to form an acridone ring. Pigment dispersions making use of the above dispersants are suited for the production of writing or recording pigment inks.
Abstract:
A base member is laid in a space portion, which is defined by an instrument panel, in a vehicle width direction over generally an entire width of the vehicle, and a plurality of ducts is integrally formed with the base member. Furthermore, a meter placing portion on which a meter is placed and an air bag placing portion on which an air bag is placed are formed on the base member, and a harness placing portion on which a flat harness is placed is also formed on the base member in the vehicle width direction. Accordingly, the base member with which the plurality of ducts are integrally formed is a separate body from the instrument panel. Even in the case where the size of the instrument panel is changed, the base member is not required to correspond to the instrument panel and, therefore, the ducts can be commonly used. Moreover, since the base member is formed with ducts each having a closed structure in section, it has a predetermined physical strength. Since this base member is laid in the vehicle width direction over a generally entire width of the vehicle, that portion of the vehicle body where the instrument panel is arranged is increased in physical strength owing to the provision of this base member for the sake of a possible side crush or collision of the vehicle.
Abstract:
New griseolic acid derivatives have various groups attached to the sugar part in place of the adenine group of griseolic acid itself. These groups are all purine derivatives or ring-opened purine analogs. The compounds are useful as inhibitors of phosphodiesterases.
