An information recording apparatus has several function units that perform: storing a time when dubbing is started, halting the dubbing temporarily when that the connecting cable is disconnected, and storing a dubbing time and the picture and audio data for a predetermined time period when the dubbing process is halted temporarily as temporary halt picture and audio information; and when the cable is reconnected, calculating a disconnection time of the cable, rewinding magnetic tape to a predetermined time period ahead of a presumed temporary halt position based on the disconnection time, reproducing the magnetic tape, determining whether a data pattern of the reproduced picture and audio data matches a data pattern of the temporary halt picture and audio information; and if they match, restarting the dubbing process from a position on the magnetic tape corresponding to final recording of the temporary halt picture and audio information.

Information recording apparatus

Provided is a digital broadcast receiving apparatus that enables real-time viewing of information about a program of a current channel and a next program to be broadcast, and that can deal with a change in program, if any. In this digital broadcast receiving apparatus, when program information is found in the VBI of a television broadcast signal of a selected channel, the program information is temporarily stored in a memory. When program information display setting is enabled, the program information is read from the memory, and then a program information screen showing the program information including start time, end time, title, and VideoPlus number is displayed in a predetermined area of a display screen. Program information obtained when a predetermined time has elapsed is newly stored in the memory. When it is found that the newly stored program information is different from the program information that has already been stored in the memory, program information to be displayed is updated to the new program information.

A p-type ZnO semiconductor film comprised mainly of Zn and O elements is disclosed. The film is characterized as containing an alkali metal and nitrogen. Preferably, the alkali metal is contained such that its concentration is distributed to increase toward an end or toward both ends in the thickness direction of the film. More preferably, the alkali metal is contained in the concentration range of 1&#xd7;10-5&#xd7;10cmand the nitrogen in the concentration range of 2&#xd7;10-5&#xd7;10cm.

A magnetic field sensor has a SQUID, which is made of thin film of oxide superconductor deposited on a substrate, and a magnetic flux guide that has a higher permeability than vacuum to increase the effective capture area. The flux guide is positioned and aligned over a hole that is surrounded with superconducting current loop formed in a washer thereof. The SQUID also has a pair of Josephson junction formed on the washer and a pair of opposite terminals for connecting the washer to an outer circuit. In the SQUID, a variation in magnetic flux passing through the hole is detected in a form of variation in output voltage.

A semiconductor device has a structure in which doped layers and undoped layers are alternately stacked and is constituted by (a) a semi-insulating substrate, (b) undoped layers consisting of a substantially undoped diamond material, and (c) thin doped layers formed between the undoped layers and consisting of a diamond material doped with B as an impurity. Stable operation characteristics can be obtained within a temperature range from room temperature to a high temperature while a semiconductor material having a deep impurity level is used.

The velocity of a working tool of a hydraulic excavator can be automatically decelerated and stopped just before the working tool would encounter an obstacle. Hazard regions and decelerating regions which correspond upward, downward, forward, and other positions of the hydraulic excavator are designated and a working tool decelerating pattern V.sub.2 where the working tool velocity decreases from 100% to 0% in a decelerating region is stored in a control unit. When a working tool velocity V.sub.1 which corresponds to the amount of operations of working tool levers (1, 2) intersects with the working tool decelerating pattern V.sub.2 in a decelerating region, the working tool moves at the velocity V.sub.2 and stops just before a hazard region. A restoring pattern where the working tool is restored from a just-before-hazard position to a safety region is stored as a working tool accelerating pattern V.sub.4 where the working tool velocity accelerates from a predetermined velocity just before a hazard region. This working tool accelerating pattern V.sub.4 is stored in the control unit. The working unit velocity is accelerated along the working tool accelerating patter V.sub.4. After the working tool accelerating pattern V.sub.4 intersects with a working tool velocity V.sub.3, which corresponds to the amount of operations of the working tool levers (1, 2), the working tool moves at the velocity V.sub.3.

Working tool operation range limiting apparatus

Hydraulically-operated equipment such as travelling equipment or working equipment for use in construction machinery such as a power shovel, shoveldozer and bulldozer. The hydraulically-operated equipment comprises a hydraulic driving mechanism actuated by hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic pressure supplying device for supplying hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic pipeline system for the hydraulic driving mechanism and a controller for controlling the hydraulic pressure supplying device such that the supplying rate at which hydraulic pressure is supplied to the hydraulic pipeline system according to the supply of hydraulic pressure is decreased in a specified period after a dead zone period in which hydraulic pressure starts to rise. This arrangement prevents an operational lag in the hydraulic driving mechanism as well as a shock at the time of start-up and shut-down.
