| 20080297954 | MAGNETIC SENSOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A magnetic sensor includes a plurality of giant magnetoresistive elements, each of which includes a free layer, a conductive layer, and a pin layer sequentially laminated on a substrate, wherein the pin layer formed by sequentially laminating a first magnetic layer, an Ru layer, a second magnetic layer, and an antiferromagnetic layer is subjected to magnetization heat treatment so as to fix the magnetization direction thereof. The first and second magnetic layers differ from each other in thickness and magnetic moment thereof, and the thickness of the Ru layer ranges from 4 Å to 10 Å. The magnetization heat treatment is performed so as to maintain an anti-parallel state between the first and second magnetic layers. In order to detect magnetic fields in three-axial directions, one giant magnetoresistive element is formed using a planar surface, and the other giant magnetoresistive elements are formed using respective slopes on the substrate. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080316654 | MAGNETIC SENSOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A magnetic sensor for detecting magnetism in two-axial directions or three-axial directions is constituted of a substrate, a silicon oxide film that is formed on the substrate so as to form the planar surface and slopes, a plurality of magnetoresistive elements, each of which is formed by laminating a free layer, a conductive layer, and a pin layer on the substrate, a plurality of lead films that are formed to connect the magnetoresistive elements in series, a CVD oxide film for covering the magnetoresistive elements, and a non-magnetic film that is formed between the magnetoresistive elements and the CVD oxide film so as to cover the periphery of the free layer with respect to each magnetoresistive element. Thus, it is possible for the magnetic sensor to include the magnetoresistive elements having superior hysteresis characteristics. | 12-25-2008 |

In mode B, input signals to the second engine are output to the speaker via the output channels of the second engine, and mixing operation of the second engine is performed via the console. Input signals to the first engine are output for monitoring via the output channels of the first engine, and mixing control of the first engine is performed via the personal computer. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080307249 | Digital mixing system with double arrangement for fail safe - A digital mixing system has a console having a display and an operator for transmitting and receiving a control signal, an engine having input channels and output channels for mixing a plurality of audio signals fed from the input channels while exchanging the control signal with the console and feeding the mixed audio signals to the output channels, and peripheral input and output units connected to the input and output channels of the engine, respectively. The console and the engine are located remotely from each other, and a cable connecting therebetween is duplicated for the purpose of fail safe. The engine may be installed in pair. If a main engine fails, a sub engine backs up instantly to continue the mixing operation. The console may be also prepared in pair for the purpose of fail safe. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100034400 | Control Data Generation Device and Method - Control data is generated in response to generation, from a position detector, of position data in accordance with a predetermined scale characteristic. Change scale characteristic is applied in manual operation performed immediately after an operation member has been automatically positioned to a target position. In the change scale characteristic, a start point is established such that control data, corresponding to the target position, of the predetermined scale characteristic is outputted in correspondence with the position data outputted at the time of completion of the positioning, but also a first change portion, including a portion extending from a position of the start point at least up to the target position, is established, so that the control data outputted in correspondence with the position data output gradually varies from data corresponding to the start point to data of the predetermined scale characteristic corresponding to an end point of the first change portion. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100244738 | AUDIO MIXING CONSOLE CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS OF LED OPERATOR, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - An audio mixing console includes a brightness adjusting mode selection button and an adjustment subject specification button. A user operates the brightness adjusting mode selection button to set up a brightness adjusting mode, and operates the adjustment subject specification button to specify any color LED of RGB or all colors as an adjustment subject. When an LED button is operated, brightness of an LED of a color of an adjustment subject in a multicolor LED unit incorporated in the LED button is increased one step by one step. In another example, in response to an operation of a button, brightness of an LED of a color of the adjustment subject in the multicolor LED unit incorporated in a plurality of LED buttons other than this button is increased one step by one step. This work is carried out for every LED and LED button. | 09-30-2010 |
