An implant including a screw body composed of pure magnesium or a magnesium alloy and having a male thread, and the implant further including an anodized membrane covering an outer surface of the screw body. The male thread has a clearance flank and a pressure flank. The clearance flank faces forward in a traveling direction and the pressure flank faces rearward in the traveling direction during a screwing process of the screw body. The biodegradation period of the anodized membrane on the clearance flank is shorter than the biodegradation period of the anodized membrane on the pressure flank.

A class D amplifier is provided with a frequency characteristic compensation function. An automatic frequency characteristic compensation circuit is disposed at an input unit of a class D amplifier. The frequency characteristic of the class D amplifier is automatically measured while a load is connected, using a test signal having a predetermined frequency and signal level. An inverse characteristic is computed for compensating the frequency characteristic to the design frequency characteristic, and the inverse characteristic is set in the automatic frequency characteristic compensation circuit.

Class D amplifier

Low pass filters at the output stage of a D-class amplifier, in which a high channel separation between adjacent signal amplifying channels, a small size, implementation at a high density can be attained. Induced electromotive forces by a leakage magnetic flux from the adjacent channels are set off by a plurality of pairs of inductors in one low pass filter. The low pass filter of each channel is formed by the same construction and the same circuit. The inductors are arranged in a manner that center axes of coils of the two corresponding pairs of inductors in the adjacent channels are located at vertexes of a rectangular parallelogram, and combinations of the winding directions of the coils of the corresponding inductors of the adjacent channels are set to the same direction and the opposite directions every other inductor.

A power amplifying device promptly detects an abnormal condition of a load and permits protection of an output without causing power loss. A test signal having a predetermined frequency and signal level is supplied to an amplifier, and the output level is measured. The measured level is compared with the output level that is projected when the test signal is supplied with an appropriate load connected to the amplifier so as to detect a load condition. If a determination result indicates that the load is short-circuited or released, then the operation of the amplifier is promptly interrupted.

Power amplifying device

A D-class power amplifier of two channels in which an increase in power voltage due to a regenerative current is prevented and a high efficiency in utilization of electric power is attained. Two D-class power amplifying circuits included in the D-class power amplifier of the two channels are constructed by opposite phases. A preprocess is performed only to low frequency components of input signals so that they have a substantially equal amplitude in the two channels, and the resultant low frequency components are supplied to the D-class power amplifying circuits, respectively. The other ends of loads connected to the D-class power amplifying circuits are connected to a neutral potential point of the power voltage.

A karaoke device which automatically returns the level of a microphone volume to a presettled level at the beginning or end of individual music pieces, and which is capable of gradually reducing the gain of the microphone amplifier by a predetermined value when an output volume from the microphone amplifier becomes excessively loud during the playing of a music piece. The karaoke device includes an adjustor for adjusting the level of the microphone volume in accordance with a manual instruction or an instruction from a control circuit; a level detector for detecting when the volume level is greater than a predetermined level; a music piece detector for detecting a beginning or end of each music piece; and a control circuit that compares a standard volume level and the volume level of when a detected signal is outputted from the music piece detector, and controls the adjustor to equalize the output level to the previously stored standard level. According to the second aspect of the invention, a comparator compares the output level from the adjustor and a predetermined reference level to lower the output level until the music piece terminates.
