Abstract: A battery pack (1) is connected to an external device (9) and to a power supply circuit (10) for the external device (9), and it energizes the external device (9) or is charged by the power supply circuit (10). An analog circuit (12) and a microcomputer (11) inside the battery pack (1) detect an ON/OFF state of the external device (9) and execute control in such a manner as to effect charging by the balance of power obtained by subtracting the maximum power consumption of the external device (9) from the total capacity of the power supply circuit (10) under the ON state and to effect charging by full use of the supply power from the power supply circuit (10) under the OFF state. This charge/discharge control is executed when the microcomputer (11) makes ON/OFF control of a charging switch (S1), a discharging switch (S2) and a switch (S4).

Abstract: A battery pack having a detection recess formed along a center line of a bottom surface arranged such that the detection recess is engaged with a convexed portion of a battery charger. Therefore, whether or not the battery pack is properly attached to the battery charger can easily be detected by the inclination of the battery pack about the center line. Further, a battery pack is arranged such that an aperture is formed on an outer surface of the battery pack and an output terminal is inwardly disposed on the aperture. Therefore, damage to the batteries in the battery pack caused by a short-circuit resulting from products made of conductive metal material such as a key ring, necklace, or chain contacting both of the output terminals, as occurs when terminals are disposed on the outer surface of the battery pack, can be prevented. Furthermore, the battery pack includes apertures with output terminals disposed therein for discharging dust or the like away from the terminals into the interior of the casing or out of the casing through a hole. Therefore, the accumulation of dust or the like within the apertures and upon the output terminals is prevented.

Abstract: The apparatus, suitable for editing video tapes, includes a video playback unit (38), a video recording unit (39) having recording circuitry (50) for recording a video output signal from the video playback unit (38) as well as reproducing circuitry (51) for reproducing a video signal, and a sub-picture signal former (55) responsive to a video signal supplied thereto for providing a sub-picture signal to be displayed as a sub-picture insert of a main picture on a monitor (13). A switch (63) couples either the video output from the video playback unit (38) or the video output from the reproducing circuitry (51) included in the video recording unit (39) to the sub-picture signal former (55). The video signal which is not coupled to the sub-picture signal former (55) constitutes the main picture signal, and the sub-picture and main picture signals are combined in a combining circuit (53) to form a display signal which, when displayed, produces a main picture with a sub-picture insert. A common housing (4) may contain the video playback and video recording units (38, 39), the sub-picture signal former (55), the switch (63) and the sub-picture/main picture signal combining circuit (53).

Abstract: A battery pack having a casing with detection apertures, and groove means formed along a center line on the casing bottom surface for sliding and engaging with an electrical apparatus having connection terminals. Two hollow electrodes are provided on the front face of the casing for receiving the connection terminals inside the casing. Improper attachment of the battery pack to the apparatus can easily be detected by the inclination of the apparatus relative to the center line, while damage to the batteries in the battery pack caused by a short-circuit due to contact with metals or dust accumulation can be prevented.
