A vehicle direction indicator light includes a light source and a light emitting body. The light emitting body guides light to the outside of the vehicle, and includes an outer emitting surface facing the outside of the vehicle, an inner emitting surface facing the inside of the vehicle, and a tip surface connecting the inner and outer emitting surfaces and facing a front or rear side of the vehicle. The outer emitting surface has a step shape in which a first surface portion that faces the outside of the vehicle and a second surface portion that faces the front side or the rear side of the vehicle are alternatingly connected to each other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Light emitted through the second surface portion and the tip surface has a higher intensity than the light emitted through the first surface portion.

A tape drive apparatus employing a tape cassette including a solid-state memory in a cassette half unit that accommodates a magnetic tape. When recording application data on the magnetic tape, the application data is written in an area of a preset size of the memory, beginning from a leading end of the application data. In this manner, it is assured that the management information located at the leading end of the application data can be stored in the memory. In reproducing the application data from the tape cassette, the management information stored in the memory is exploited to save time in accessing the management information recorded on the magnetic tape.

Tape cassette and tape driver

A die clamping apparatus including a movable plate which is in connection with a pushing-out pin which is projected from and retracted to a moving die and which is held movably with respect to a moving die plate, a clamp member for obtaining a constraint of the movable member, an air cylinder and a hook member. Only a movement of the movable member is constraint by the air cylinder with respect to the moving die plate when the latter is moved in a die opening direction from a die opening limit position, so that a resultant relative movement between the movable plate and the moving die plate, which causes the pushing-out pin to be projected from the moving die, resulting in a removal of a molded product, while the constraint of the movable member prevents the moving die plate from being moved in the die closing direction when the moving die plate in the die opening limit position is under non clamping condition.

Die clamping apparatus

A recording apparatus provided on, for example, a digital audio tape recorder or on a data storage device for correctly and reliably recording data. An ECC unit 23 appends the parity for error correction to recording data and transmits the resulting data to recording heads Hw1, Hw2, while recording the parity in a RAM 61. The recording data and the parity are reproduced from a magnetic tape 32 by magnetic heads Hr1, Hr2 and supplied to a subcode separation unit 45. A syndrome detection unit 62 detects the number of error corrections performed by parity by an error correction unit 46. A system controller 63 compares the number of times of error corrections to a threshold value and compares the parity read out from the RAM 61 to the parity from the sub-code separation unit 45 in order to detect if the recording data has been recorded correctly. If the recording data has not been recorded correctly, the system controller controls a recording/reproducing unit 30 for re-recording the same recording data.

A data reproducing apparatus in which the identification information recorded in multiplicity on a recording track can be reliably reproduced assuring stable data reproduction including a decoder 61 to decode the area IDs supplied from an 8/10 demodulation circuit 43 and to supply each decoded area ID to counters C0 to C15, a system controller 70 to find the number of times of occurrences of coincidences of the area IDs of areas other than the end of data (EOD) area and, based on the frequency of detection of the occurrences of the area IDs by the counters C0 to C15, detects the area IDs of the (EOD) area. Finally, the system controller 70 controls the running of a magnetic tape 31 based on the detected area IDs.

Device for reproducing a recording medium having plural recording areas

An apparatus and method for recording digital data employing a DAT (digital audio tape recorder) adapted to record the data from a computer or the like in accordance with the DAT format, wherein a unit is formed of predetermined plural frames and a signal indicative of each frame number within a unit and a signal indicative of the last frame of the unit are recorded with each frame, whereby the length of the unit can be arbitrarily changed and accordingly signal processing is facilitated easily.

Liquid developing agent for electrostatic photography comprising resin grains dispersed in a non-aqueous solvent with an electrical resistance of 10.sup.9 106 cm or more and a permittivity of 3.5 or less, wherein said dispersed resin grains are polymer resin grains produced by a polymerization reaction of a solution containing

Liquid developing agent for electrostatic photography

An apparatus and method for recording and/or reproducing digital data employing a DAT (digital audio tape recorder) adapted to record and/or reproduce data from a computer or the like in accordance with the DAT format. Main data is recorded in a main area of a track while error detecting data for the main data recorded in the main area of the track is recorded in a sub-area of the track to thereby easily detect an error in the main data.

An apparatus and method for recording and/or reproducing digital data employing a DAT (digitial audio tape recorder) adapted to record and/or reproduce data from a computer or the like in accordance with the DAT format. Main data is recorded in a main area of a track while error detecting data for the main data recorded in the main area of the track is recorded in a sub-area of the track to thereby easily detect an error in the main data.

A liquid developer for electrostatic photography is disclosed. The liquid developer comprises a resin dispersed as grains in a non-aqueous solvent having an electrical resistance of 10.sup.9 .OMEGA.cm or more and a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less, which is characterized in that the dispersed resin grains are copolymer resin grains obtained by polymerizing a solution containing at least one monofunctional monomer (A) which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent but becomes insoluble therein after polymerization and at least one monofunctional macromonomer (B) which is composed of a polymer moiety having a repeating unit of the following formula (I) and a copolymerizable double bond-containing group of the following formula (II) bonded to only one terminal of the main chain of the polymer moiety and which has a number average molecular weight of 1.times.10.sup.4 or less, in the presence of a resin which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and which contains no graft group capable of polymerizing with the monomers; ##STR1## In formula (I), X represents --COO--, --OCO--, --CH.sub.2 OCO--, --CH.sub.2 COO--, --O--, --SO.sub.2 --, ##STR2## R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms;

Digital data is formatted and recorded in track pairs on a tape by the rotary heads of a DAT so as to have a header portion for each track which includes a frame number, error correcting code, ID and so on added to the digital data, the content of each header portion of the tracks for any given frame being equal whereby it is possible to easily detect, upon reproduction, unerased data signals due to head clogging and so on by comparing portions of the two header portions of each frame and error correcting the data from those tracks where it is determined that the compared header portions contain different data.

Data recorder

An apparatus for recording and/or reproducing digital data information on a recording medium which has a recorder similar to a digital audio recorder (DAT) which records digital signals in a frame made up of two oblique tracks formed by rotary heads and a controller for dividing the digital data information at a predetermined frame portion and supplying the divided information to the recorder as a digital signal, wherein since the digital data information are divided at the predetermined frame portion, they are easily re-recorded.
