To improve the oil separation performance in an oil separation device for an internal combustion engine. The oil separation device () comprises a gas liquid separation passage () internally defined by a lower wall, an upper wall and a pair of side walls, and extending in a horizontal direction, a gas inlet () and a gas outlet () provided on either end of the gas liquid separation passage, a plurality of lower partition walls (H) projecting upward from the lower wall, and a plurality of upper partition walls (J) projecting downward from the upper wall. The lower partition walls and the upper partition wall are tilted with respective the length wise direction in plan view so as to define a spiral passage. The lower wall is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane such that an upstream part of the lower wall is lower than a downstream part of the lower wall with respect to a direction of the swirl flow.

A receiving apparatus comprising means for receiving an event notice that includes time information. Upon receipt of the event notice, an event corresponding to the time information is generated. The event is immediately generated if the event notice includes a code that indicates immediate generation.

Data transmission control method, data transmitting method, data transmitting apparatus, and receiving apparatus

A client transmits an event of Event::Subscribe ('DSICHANGED') to a server. The server returns an event number set for a 'DSICHANGED' event to the client. After the event number is obtained, the client transmits Event::notify to the server and requests some event generation notice including &#x201c;DSICHANGED&#x201d;. When there is a change in DSI of a karrusel which was received, namely, when the &#x201c;DSI CHANGED&#x201d; event is generated at a certain timing after Event::notify is received, the server transmits the event number corresponding to the &#x201c;DSICHANGED&#x201d; event to the client as a response to Event::notify. The contents of the karrusel before the event number is generated is continuously used for a period of time during which the client transmits Session::detach to the server after the server notified the client of the generation of the event number.

In an engine of a cylinder-head first cooling type, cooling performance for a cylinder head and a cylinder block is enhanced. Cooling water from a water pump is supplied via a water jacket in a cylinder head to a water jacket in a cylinder block. The water jacket in the cylinder head is defined to extend along opposite sides of a plurality of cylinders disposed in a row, and has a cooling-water inlet and a cooling-water outlet provided at lengthwise one end thereof and the lengthwise other end thereof, respectively. The water jacket in the cylinder block is defined to surround outer peripheries of the plurality of cylinders disposed in the row, and is shielded at one point by a shield member, and has a cooling-water inlet provided on one side of the shield member to communicate with the cooling-water outlet in the water jacket.

There is provided a television system wherein a plurality of VTRs are connected to a television set so that they are capable of the recording, display and the like of a channel which is not incorporated in a given VTR using one of tuners in the other VTRs and a or the television set. A table listing the tuners and channels incorporated in the television set and VTRs connected thereto is created, and the switching, recording and display of a channel of the television set is performed based on the table. By mapping channels which can be actually used, the usable channels can be quickly selected and picked up.

Television system

A TV system includes at least one VTR and a TV set. The VTR is operated on the basis of a predetermined control signal fed from one TV set connected thereto. The TV set includes: a timer for counting a time; an S-RAM for storing information of a time basis operation of each VTR connected to the TV set; a CPU for generating the predetermined control signal on the basis of the time information from the timer and the information of the time basis operation; and cables for feeding the predetermined control signal to each designated VTR.

Recording reservation central control system for one or more VTR's

A television broadcast receiver capable of transmitting user input data to a predetermined destination associated with the broadcast side and having a remote commander with a two-way button for switching the mode of a television receiver between a mode responsive and a mode nonresponsive to a two-way broadcast program. Buttons provided on the commander are assigned both the function as channel selection buttons of a receiving unit, or the function of data input means for inputting data representing a reply to a two-way broadcast program.

A ghost cancelling receiver using ghost cancel reference signal is constructed so that a ghost wave component is adaptively separated from a received video signal on the basis of the level of a noise component thereby to properly cancel the ghost.

Ghost cancelling receiver using ghost cancel reference signal

A circuit for detecting a wave distortion in a circuit for eliminating a ghost wave component, wherein a received video signal is applied to a transversal filter, a reference signal for cancelling a ghost signal (GCR signal) is taken out from an output signal from the transversal filter, a ghost wave component is picked up from the GCR signal, a signal for controlling a transmission characteristic of the transversal filter is formed on the basis of the picked-up ghost wave component, and the control signal is applied to the transversal filter to thereby extract from the filter a video signal from which the ghost wave component is cancelled. This circuit includes a variable limiter provided on a signal line for transmitting the control signal to the transversal filter and an unit for controlling a limiter level of the variable limiter to be decreased with time.

An automatic level adjusting system for a television receiver which is suitable as its automatic white balance adjusting circuit. In the manufacturing-process of the television receiver, desired data is selected from a positional data group of black or white reference pulse signal to be inserted into a video signal and is stored in a non-volatile memory, whereby when an image is reproduced, black or white level of the video signal is adjusted automatically on the basis of the data stored in the non-volatile memory. Thus, the insertion position of black or white reference pulse signal can be changed without modifying the hardware of the television receiver so that the automatic level adjusting system can be applied commonly to different types of television receivers.

Automatic level adjusting system for a television receiver

A method and apparatus for use with a television receiver that processes a television signal in digital form and that has the functional units of the receiver controlled by digital data stored in internal registers, in which a dedicated non-volatile memory is provided for storing initial data along with a control circuit for setting such initial data into the appropriate register so that when the receiver is adjusted for the first time following manufacture spurious data will not cause circuit elements of the receiver to be damaged.

Nonvolatile memory system for digital television tuner

Method and apparatus for use with a television receiver wherein a television signal is processed in a digital form and which includes a memory for storing data to control such processing, in which a circuit is provided for refreshing the data in the memory at successive vertical blanking periods and a circuit is also provided for writing input data into the memory at the appropriate location at any time new data is desired to be input by the user. An operating method is also provided to accomplish the functional tasks of the refreshing circuit and interrupt circuit.
