The object is to provide a technology for appropriately making the centimeter positioning available in automotive applications. A positioning apparatus determines a standalone positioning solution including a vehicle position, determines a float solution including the vehicle position and a carrier phase bias, determines an integer ambiguity, determines a fix solution including the vehicle position, sets any one of the standalone positioning solution, the float solution, the fix solution, and a non-positioning solution indicating no existence of a solution as a positioning solution, and predicts a positioning error of the positioning solution as a positioning error of the vehicle position per epoch.

A forming apparatus is equipped with (i) a conveyance unit configured to convey a formation sheet, that expands due to irradiation with electromagnetic waves, along a conveyance path in a state in which tension for causing bending in accordance with a conveyance path that is convexly bent is applied, and (ii) an irradiation unit configured to irradiate with the electromagnetic waves the formation sheet during conveyance by the conveyance unit in the state in which the tension is applied.

A tray locking mechanism includes a tray on which a sheet is disposed, a moving head that processes the sheet that is disposed on the tray as the moving head moves along the sheet, a tray locker that locks the movement of the tray, and a housing that houses the tray and includes a retainer. The tray locker includes a retaining claw that locks the movement of the tray by locking to the retainer. While the moving head is positioned at a position away from a stand-by position, the retaining claw is locked to the retainer as a result of the moving head separating from the tray locker, and while the moving head is positioned at the stand-by position, the retaining claw is disengaged from the retainer as a result of the moving head pushing the tray locker.

A television set has a satellite broadcast receiver which includes a BS converter and a BS tuner. A power supply voltage is selectively supplied from the BS tuner to the BS converter. The BS tuner has a selector switch for selecting an 'ON' mode in which the power supply voltage is to be supplied on the BS converter, or an 'OFF' mode in which the power supply voltage is not to be supplied to the BS converter. A control unit in the BS tuner displays on a CRT a message indicating that the power supply voltage is not supplied to the BS converter if the selector switch is selecting the 'ON' mode and no BS program is being received.

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.

In controlling an electronic apparatus, such as, a color television receiver, of the type having signal processing circuits which are individually adjustable in accordance with respective control signals provided by a microcomputer or central processing unit (CPU) in response to data corresponding to predetermined or standardized conditions of the adjustable circuits and which are stored in a non-volatile memory along with a secret code, operating keys selectively actuable to provide input data to the CPU for representing an externally applied code and, in a servicing mode of the receiver, for rewriting the data in the memory and thereby changing the standardized conditions of the adjustable circuits, and inner bus lines connecting the CPU to the adjustable circuits, the non-volatile memory and the operating keys; a standby power supply provides electric power to the CPU at a time when operating keys are actuated for inputting data representing an externally applied code to the CPU, a main power supply is turned on for supplying power to the adjustable circuits and thereby causing the receiver to display a color image, and the servicing mode of the receiver is established only when the externally applied code coincides with the stored secret code and the turning on of the main power supply is effected within a predetermined period after the externally applied code has been made to be coincident with the stored secret code.
