By decision of the CNRS President, Patrice Dunoyer was penalized by a demotion in rank, and Olivier Voinnet with an official reprimand.

A smoothing circuit (42) performs weighted averaging of a current averaging step value and a past average quantization step value so as to output a smoothed average quantization step value.

By decision of the CNRS President, Patrice Dunoyer was penalized by a demotion in rank, and Olivier Voinnet with an official reprimand.

If the step value exceeds a threshold value, a predetermined function is used to suppress the step value.

Said received down-mix audio signals comprise a down- mix of a plurality of audio objects.

A metal contact terminal (3) is disposed on an upper surface of the lower step in a longitudinal direction from the lower step portion to the upper step portion.

A ladder in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of rung units, each rung unit including a left column, a right column, and a rung extending between the left column and the right column.

The support member is of a step-like structure and comprises an upper step portion (22) and a lower step portion (21).

In this manner, a controlled lifting/lowering is made possible.
