Abstract:
The public address system 1 comprises a transmission medium (4) including a main transmission path (4-1) and at least one branch transmission path (4-2) branching from the main transmission path (4-1), a plurality of loudspeakers (3) connected to the transmission medium (4), a first branch monitoring device (10a), and a second branch monitoring device (10b). The second branch monitoring device (10b) only transmits a transmission signal (S-2) from the main transmission path (4-1) into the branch transmission path (4-2) when the second branch monitoring device (10b) has detected that there is no transmission of the transmission signal (S-1) from the branch transmission path (4-2) to the second branch monitoring device (10b).
Abstract:
Provided is an oil film detection device capable of detecting an oil film reliably and accurately even when separated by a distance from a water surface (detection target surface). Provided is an oil film detection device including, in a detector W, an accommodating portion 5 which accommodates at least a light source 1, a concave mirror 2, and a light-receiving portion 4 , and a window 6 which closes the accommodating portion 5 in a watertight manner, for detecting an oil film existing on a detection target surface owing to that light is radiated from the light source 1 toward a detection target surface, reflection light from the detection target surface is collected by the concave mirror 2 and received by the light-receiving portion 4. Here, the light source 1 is arranged above the concave mirror and emits light approximately in the vertical direction. The concave mirror 2 is arranged so that an optical axis of the concave mirror 2 is perpendicular to the horizontal direction and has a through-hole 3, as a position deviated from the optical axis of the concave mirror 2, through which emitted light from the light source 1 passes. The light-receiving portion 4 is arranged at a focal position on the optical axis of the concave mirror 2.
Abstract:
An audio signal from an audio signal source 2 is amplified in an amplifier 4, and the amplified audio signal is supplied through a loudspeaker line 6 to a plurality of loudspeakers 8 connected in parallel with each other. A test signal from a DSP 10 containing one or both of a frequency near the lowest frequency of the human audio frequency band and a frequency near the highest frequency, is combined with the audio signal in a combiner 13 and supplied to the loudspeaker line 6. Output signals of a current detecting circuit 14 and a voltage detecting circuit 16 disposed in the output of the amplifier 4 are supplied to a DSP 10 to analyze frequency components of the test signal, and a composite impedance of the loudspeakers 8 and the loudspeaker line 6 is computed based on the frequency component analysis. The DSP 10 compares the composite impedance with a threshold value to detect line breakage or decrease in impedance of the loudspeaker line.
Abstract:
Provided is an intercom exchange that is able to reliably send an alert to an alert destination when an abnormal sound has been made. The intercom exchange (10) is connected to multiple terminals (201 to 215 and 30), and includes multiple communication paths (DSPs 121 to 128), a digital switch circuit (11) for switching connections between the terminals and the communication paths, and a CPU (13) that controls the DSPs and the switch circuit (11). The CPU (13) performs control for preferentially allocating a communication path to the first terminal (201), and the allocated DSP determines whether a sound from the first terminal (201) that has been received as input via the switch circuit (11) is an abnormal sound. Upon determining that the sound is an abnormal sound, the allocated DSP notifies the CPU (13), and upon receiving the notification, the CPU (13) determines an alert destination based on the notification and performs alert processing for sending an alert to the alert destination.

Abstract:
Digital audio data with error detection bits added thereto is input into an error detection and correction unit 4. The correction unit 4 corrects an error when the error is detected in the digital audio data. The digital audio data output from the error detection and correction unit 4 is input into an impulse noise suppression circuit 6. The suppression circuit 6 is operated for a predetermined time when the error detection and correction unit 4 has detected an error.
Abstract:
A master clock signal source (10) generates a master clock signal of a frequency which is N (N is a positive integer) times the bit rate of the received data. An N-ary counter (12) counts the master clock signals. An edge detector circuit (4) detects the transition from an H level to an L level of the received data. A counter (8) counts the master clock signals. When the count becomes 2N while three edge detection signals are generated, the counter (8) resets the N-ary counter (12). A clock generating unit (14) generates a clock signal according to the count made by the N-ary counter (12).
Abstract:
A howling margin measuring device 20 comprises processing means 28 composed of gain controlling means 21 and a compressor 22 which are connected in series and controlling means 23. The gain controlling means 21 outputs an input sound signal after giving a gain thereto. If the level of a sound signal input to the compressor 22 is equal to or higher than a threshold level, the compressor 22 outputs the sound signal after compressing it with a specified ratio. The controlling means 23 is capable of controlling the gain of the gain controlling means 21 and reading the compression level of the compressor 22. The controlling means 23 reads the compression level of the compressor 22 while gradually increasing the gain of the gain controlling means 21, determines whether or not howling has been generated based on whether the read compression level has a value equal to or higher than a specified value, and calculates a howling margin based on the gain of the gain controlling means 21 when it is determined that howling has been generated.

A wireless microphone communication system 1 comprises one or more controllers 21 to 24 having LAN interfaces, one or more receivers 11 to 18 having the LAN interfaces and being configured to receive a radio wave from a transmitter of a wireless microphone. The one or more receivers 11 to 18 are coupled to the one or more controllers 21 to 24 on LAN. Each controller 21 to 24 is coupled to a corresponding display device. Each controller 21 to 24 receives, from the one or more receivers 11 to 18, information of the receiver through the LAN. Each controller 21 to 24 causes the received information of the receiver to be displayed on the corresponding display device.
