A method of and apparatus for manufacturing hydrous oil are provided. A plurality of frequency and low voltage and current. A plurality of low frequency and low voltage and current signals are applied to a water supply pipe system and a low frequency and low voltage current signal is applied to an oil supply system. The water and oil mix with each other at a mixing point and a plurality of low frequency and low voltage current signals are applied to a mixing supply system formed by joining the water supply pipe system and oil pipe system. The mixture of water and oil is subjected to emulsification in a heater-equipped emulsion tank and the emulsification is facilitated with the aid of air so as to produce the hydrous oil. After a low frequency and low voltage and current signal is applied to the hydrous oil, air is supplied to the hydrous oil in an aeration tank. Further, after a low frequency and low voltage and current signal is applied to the hydrous oil, the hydrous oil is flowed into a storage tank.
Abstract:
A squelch circuit for a radio transmitter/receiver includes an amplifier, a digitally-controlled electronic volume control, a volume adjusting variable resistor, and a volume controller. The amplifier amplifies a received audio signal input and provides the received audio signal to a loudspeaker. The digitally-controlled electronic volume control changes the output level of the amplifier. The volume adjusting variable resistor outputs data representing a volume value. The volume controller constantly detects changes in volume value data output from the variable resistor, and controls an attenuation amount of the digitally-controlled electronic volume control in accordance with the volume value represented by the variable resistor. While in a "mute" state, this volume control continues until a predetermined time has elapsed since the detection of the change in volume value data. The volume controller then sets the attenuation amount of the digitally-controlled electronic volume control to an infinite attenuation amount.

In order to be able to easily obtain a color FA image in which the same fibrous tissue has the same color display even if images are captured in a state in which the position of an object relative to an MRI apparatus is different, a diffusion tensor is configured using plural sets of the diffusion-weighted image data acquired by capturing images of a site including the fibrous tissue of the object, an eigenvector is obtained from the diffusion tensor, the eigenvector represented by a predetermined first coordinate system is converted into a second coordinate system, and an image representing the running direction of the fibrous tissue is obtained on the basis of the components of the eigenvector represented by the second coordinate system.The second coordinate system is obtained preferably on the basis of the scanned cross-section, or on the basis of the eigenvector for the specified pixel in the image obtained by capturing images of the cross-section, or in accordance with the rotation angle of the coordinate system set by a coordinate system rotation UI.
Abstract:
A multistation communication apparatus in which each of a plurality of primary stations (21) is connected to a plurality of secondary stations (91) by a communication channel for each primary station and the transmission from the primary stations (21) to the secondary stations (91) is performed by 1:1. The apparatus can arbitrarily vary a control period for each of the secondary stations connected to the primary stations and also enables the synchronization between the primary stations. The primary stations (21) have means for writing a transmission start flag (721) for starting transmission for each of transmission buffers (31s) corresponding to the secondary stations (91) and means for using a transmission start control signal (7611) of another transmission buffer. Furthermore, the primary stations (21) have means for matching the transmission start timing based on their own transmission start flags with the transmission start timing when synchronized with the another transmission buffer.
Abstract:
In an adaptive digital filter having a digital filter for simulating a transmission system having indeterminate transmission characteristics through a series circuit of a plurality of series-connected delay circuits, and a correction circuit for correcting the output signal from the digital filter in accordance with changes in transmission characteristics of the transmission system, an input signal to and an output signal from the series circuit of the delay circuits are squared. The difference between the square signals is divided by the number of the delay circuits to obtain a mean value. When the mean value exceeds a predetermined value, the operation of the correction circuit is inhibited.
Abstract:
An adaptive digital filter is connected in parallel with a transmission system and includes a plurality of delay circuits, a nonrecursive digital filter having coefficient parameters of the delay circuits so as to approximate the characteristics of the transmission system, and a correction circuit for correcting the coefficient parameters of the nonrecursive digital filter. The adaptive digital filter further includes a first variable attenuator, a second variable attenuator and a comparator. The first variable attenuator receives an input signal for the adaptive digital filter, variably attenuates the input signal in response to a first control signal, and supplies an attenuated input signal to the transmission system and the nonrecursive digital filter. The second variable attenuator receives a difference between the output signals from the nonrecursive digital filter and the transmission system and variably attenuates the difference signal in response to a second control signal. The attenuated difference signal serves as an output of the adaptive digital filter. The comparator compares the level of the input signal with the level of the output signal from the transmission system and drives the first or second attenuator, which receives a lower level signal when the level difference exceeds a predetermined value.
