Provided is a dispenser including an ice-making water tank for storing ice-making water and an auger-type ice-making machine for producing ice chips by freezing the ice-making water in the ice-making water tank. The auger-type ice-making machine includes a refrigeration casing into which the ice-making water is supplied, and the refrigeration casing and the drain pan are connected to each other through the intermediation of an ice-making water drain pipe. The ice-making water in the refrigeration casing is drained at predetermined time points, and the drain pan is washed with the ice-making water thus drained.

Dispenser

Provided is a dispenser in which a wash water discharge opening provided to a drain pan is connected to an external tap water system via a wash water supply path. The wash water supply path is provided with a wash water supply valve for controlling whether or not to supply wash water to the drain pan. A wash control section in a controller performs timing separately from control of a generation/delivery control section for performing generation and delivery of ice chips, and also performs a wash action at predetermined time intervals by opening the wash water supply valve.

Provided is a dispenser in which a wash water discharge opening provided to a drain pan is connected to an external tap water system via a wash water supply path. The wash water supply path is provided with a wash water supply valve for controlling whether or not to supply wash water to the drain pan. Based on delivery information output from a delivery control section for controlling delivery of ice chips, a wash control section in a controller judges whether or not a delivery count of the ice chips has reached a predetermined set count, and, when it is judged that the delivery count has reached the set count, opens the wash water supply valve to perform a wash action.

A bandpass filter disposed on a substrate includes one pair of ring Each of the ring resonators includes a pattern inductor, a resonance capacitor connected in parallel with the pattern inductor, and an input/output terminal connected with the pattern inductor via a coupling capacitor. The pattern inductors are connected with an impedance varying device, whereby the bandpass filter is capable of frequency adjustments.

Bandpass filter and apparatus using same

A radio-frequency device has a distributor and a tuner. The distributor has an input terminal which is disposed on one side face of a case; an output terminal which is disposed on another side face; and an output terminal which is disposed on the upper side face. The output terminal, and an input terminal of the tuner are respectively protruded at positions which are separated from the bottom face by a substantially same distance. A metal flat plate portion is led out from the side of the distributor and coupled to a receiving portion of the tuner on the side of the input terminal. Therefore, the output terminal of the distributor is directly connected to the input terminal of the tuner, so that a radio-frequency cable for connecting the units to each other is not necessary. A space reduction and a low production cost can be realized.

Radio frequency device

A high frequency television signal receiving apparatus providing excellent linear detection of output characteristics by improving the phase characteristic of the picture synchronous detector. A variable capacitive element is equivalently connected in parallel to a reference solid-state oscillation element. The reference solid-state oscillation element controls the frequency of a local oscillation device including a PLL circuit for feeding a local oscillation signal to a mixer for converting a high frequency signal into an intermediate frequency signal. A first low pass filter is connected between a phase comparator for detecting a phase difference of the intermediate frequency signal and the output of a detection oscillator for generating a detection oscillation signal with a specific phase difference. A second low pass filter having a larger time constant than the first low pass filter is connected to the variable capacitive element. The capacitance of the variable capacitive element is varied by the output voltage of the phase comparator. The signal frequency of the local oscillation device is shifted, and is controlled to converge the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal within the frequency range of the detection oscillation signal.

High frequency receiving apparatus

A first PLL 15 circuit connected to a first local oscillator 4 and a second PLL circuit 18 connected to a second local oscillator 10 are disposed in a same casing 20, and it is therefore not necessary to issue the output signal of the second local oscillator 10 or the divided output signal of the first local oscillator 4 outside of the casing 20, so that generation of undesired harmonic interference due to adverse effects of distribution thereof may be eliminated, thereby obtaining a favorable reception state.
