Abstract:
A differential circuit having a first pair of transistors connected in a differential amplifier to amplify an applied signal. Input terminals of a second differential amplifier are connected to output terminals of the first amplifier and a feedback circuit is connected from an output terminal of the second differential amplifier to an input circuit of the first differential amplifier to supply thereto an output signal of the second amplifier in inverse polarity to the signal applied to the first amplifier. This improves the balance of the output signal of the second differential amplifier relative to the zero level, and this output signal may be rectified by a full-wave rectifier to have equal excursions from the zero axis for each successive half cycle of a sinusoidal signal.
Abstract:
A circuit for controlling the gain of an amplifier to prevent signal clipping even if the power supply voltage drops. The AGC amplifier has one input electrode connected to the output of the main amplifying circuit and a second input electrode connected by a non-linear circuit to one terminal of the power supply to vary the bias on this transistor with changes in the power supply voltage so as to stabilize the operation of the transistor in spite of changes in the amplitude of the audio signal due to the changes in the power supply voltage. The transistor furnishes an AGC signal to control a variable impedance across the input of the amplifier to be controlled. The variation in this impedance reduces the gain of the controlled amplifier when amplifying high signal levels.
Abstract:
A logic circuit which is easily and relatively inexpensively produced as an integrated circuit for use with the decoder of a multi-channel stereo apparatus of the type which converts two composite signals LT and RT into four output signals containing dominant signal components LF'',RF'',LB'', respectively, with each of the output signals further including subdominant signal components as crosstalk. The logic circuit includes a plurality of full wave rectifiers for separately rectifying each of the four output signals, a first differential amplifier for producing a signal representative of the difference between the rectified LF'' and RF'' output signals and a second differential amplifier for producing an output signal representative of the difference between the rectified LB'' and RB'' output signals. The difference signal outputs are compared in a third differential amplifier which generates first and second control signals of opposite polarity which are each representative of the difference between the difference signal outputs. These control signals may be employed to control respective gain control amplifiers interposed in four output signals transmitting lines so as to depress the crosstalk.

Abstract:
A head-mounted display, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, an electronic book, or the like monitors conditions of the side of a power generation apparatus that charges a battery. An image display apparatus includes a power generation information acquisition means for obtaining power generation information on a power storage amount, a power generation amount, and the like of a secondary battery in each power generation apparatus, appropriately processes the obtained information, and displays it to a user via a display unit. The user can check the power generation amount of the power generation apparatus and the power storage amount of the secondary battery without stopping the use of the image display apparatus. When a power storage amount of a battery in use is lowered, the user can properly judge with which of the power generation apparatuses the user should replace the battery.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a voice output apparatus capable of, in response to a particular stimulus, stopping outputting a voice and outputting a reaction. The voice output apparatus is capable of outputting a voice in a natural manner. A rule-based synthesizer 24 produces a synthesized voice and outputs it. For example, when a synthesized voice "Where is an exit" was produced and outputting of the synthesized voice data has proceeded until "Where is an e" has been output, if a user taps a robot, then a reaction generator 30 determines, by referring to a reaction database 31, that a reaction voice "Ouch!" should be output in response to being tapped. The reaction generator 30 then controls an output controller 27 so as to stop outputting the synthesized voice "Where is an exit?" and output the reaction voice "Ouch!". Thereafter, the reaction generator 30 controls the read pointer of a buffer 26 controlled by the read controller 29 such that the outputting of the synthesized voice is resumed from the point at which the outputting was stopped. Thus, the synthesized voice "Where is an e, Ouch!, xit?" is output.
