Upon a selector operation of a valve such as a four-way selector valve provided in a refrigerating cycle for selecting a channel of fluid, prevention of environmental pollution and energy saving and the like are effectively achieved. A sliding valve is coupled with a piston in a housing of a channel selector valve provided in a refrigerating cycle and the sliding valve moves due to a difference in pressure and so on at both sides of the piston, thereby a channel of fluid is selected. A processing section of a control device is constituted with microcomputers of an indoor and outdoor control sections, while a detecting section of the control device includes temperature sensor, detection means for detecting pressure, detection means for detecting flow rate, detection means for detecting voltage/current, and detection means for detecting frequency. Driving sections of an electrically-driven expansion valve, an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger and a compressor are means that function in response to execution of control programs so that physical quantity, such as pressure, differential pressure and flow rate in the channel selector valve provided in the refrigerating cycle, and a rate of change in physical quantity, such as a rate of change in pressure, a rate of change in differential pressure and a rate of change in flow rate, are controlled, thereby a channel of the fluid is selected by the channel selector valve.

A trick action type clock, wherein a dial plate which is arranged in front of ornaments is made of left and right side dial plates mating along a line passing through a center of rotation of the hands. A planetary gear mechanism actuates the left and right side dial plates so as to make them rotate and revolve around the center of rotation of the hands to produce an opening and closing motion. Therefore, the dial plate made of the two mating parts performs an opening and closing motion which produces a strong impression due to the surprising dynamic change.

Karaoke is provided more easily and flexibly by recording video signals from multiple video sources on a disk; selecting one of those sources as desired; and reproducing the signals from that source along with either the output of a video camera or graphics data. The graphics data is recorded on the disk with the video source signals in multiplexed fashion, along with selection signals. When the multiplexed signals are demultiplexed, chroma-key composite circuitry effects desired superimposition of a video camera output on the source video signals.

Recording medium playing apparatus

A photomagnetic memory medium of an amorphous thin film of a rare-earth transition metal alloy of non-columnar structure deposited on a substrate. In order to achieve the non-columnar structure, the alloy is sputtered in the presence of a plasma but the plasma is confined by a magnetic field so as not to touch the substrate. The alloy is preferably TbFeCo.
