The sound field reproducing apparatus includes: a signal obtaining unit which obtains input audio signals of plural channels; an effect adding unit which gives an effect on an output to a sound field; and an effect amount control unit which controls an amount of the effect based on a characteristic of the input audio signal. The sound field reproducing apparatus receives input audio signals of plural channels from a medium such as a DVD, and gives a sound effect to them to output. The amount of the effect given to the input audio signal is controlled based on the characteristic of the input audio signal, especially the cross correlation of the reverberation component between the channels.

To prevent adhesion of a support body and a hardened body of a hydraulic composition, the hydraulic composition being used for a soil structure such as a retaining wall built in a soil excavating work in the civil engineering and construction fields, a composition (A) composed of at least an alkaline-water-soluble resin with an acid value of not less than 15 mgKOH/g and a water-absorbent material is provided so as to intervene between the support body and the hardened body of the hydraulic composition, either by applying the composition (A) on a surface of the support body, or by covering the support body with a sheet-like member on which the composition (A) is applied. The alkaline-water-soluble resin dissolves in alkaline water upon contact with the same contained in the hydraulic composition. As the alkaline-water-soluble resin dissolves, the water-absorbent material swells absorbing the alkaline water, whereby a layer of the water-absorbent material which has swollen is formed between the hardened body of the hydraulic composition and the support body, preventing the adhesion therebetween.

A system and method for controlling a vehicle speed according to a vehicle speed applicable to an autonomous vehicle are disclosed in which distance information and deviation of vehicle posture information are derived relative reference values. The information is derived from image data derived from photographing a road surface and is set as fuzzy sets. Membership functions constituting the fuzzy sets are varied according to vehicle speed.

An autonomous vehicle autonomously running on a route of travel and its method are disclosed in which data on a plurality of target points and on a plurality of paths, the target points and paths defining start and end points of road segments which are the respective paths into which the route of travel is divided are stored into a data storage block, a shape of each road segment is determined on the basis of the stored data in the data storage block, a target running state is set on the basis of the determined shape of each road segment, and a run control of the vehicle is carried out on the basis of the set running state. In addition, a new target point on one of the paths is set which provides a shortest distance from a new point to the corresponding path and data on the new target point is provided which includes the data on the running state at the new target point so that a start point and/or a final target point at which the vehicle is finally to reach can arbitrarily set on the route of travel.

An autonomous vehicle controls the steering of the vehicle on a road by fuzzy control. A camera forms an image of the road, and an image processor processes the image to calculate the deviation dx between a plurality of reference points on a road and the direction in which the vehicle is traveling. Each reference point is associated with a visual point on the road ahead of the vehicle. The product of the deviation dx for each visual point and a membership function .mu. indicating the degree of importance attached to the visual point is calculated, and a total deviation equal to the sum of the products is calculated. The steering of the vehicle is controlled on the basis of the total deviation. The membership functions .mu. are varied in accordance with the time rate of change of the deviations dx.

A method of operating an associative memory, which is provided for storing information, comprises the steps of extracting necessary information by means of access to said associative memory and updating information retained in the associative memory. In the method and system of the present invention, said associative memory comprises a data portion for storing a plurality of block information units as one module information unit, and an address array portion for storing a module address corresponding to said one module information unit, said associative memory further containing valid information arranged in conjunction with said module address in said address array portion for indicating which of said plural block information units constituting said one module information units is valid. Further, an address, with respect to which said associative memory is retrieved, is subjected to access to the address portion of said associative memory in a field shifted from a field in which said address is compared with an address read out from said address portion, and valid information is allotted in a least significant bit to each of said block information so as to obtain an increased capacity for said associative memory, and updating of information stored in said data portion is carried out in the block information unit.

An audio signal mixer can be applied to a DJ device and the like, for example. The audio signal mixer acquires a plurality of audio signals and acquires mixing rate information being information on a mixing rate of a plurality of the audio signals. The audio signal mixer decides an adjusting amount of balance between levels at every band when a plurality of the audio signals are mixed based on the mixing rate. A plurality of the audio signals are mixed at every band, adjusts the levels of the mixed signals of the respective bands based on the adjusting amount, adds the adjusted signals of the respective bands and outputs it as a mixed audio signal.

A dissolution testing apparatus comprises a vessel plate on which a plurality of test vessels are mounted. Each test vessel has a heat generation portion, which includes a transparent ring-shaped heat generating sheet member wrapped around the cylindrical portion of the vessel so that the heat generation portion is held thereon in a freely detachable manner. Additionally, the heat generating portion includes a transparent pressing sheet member. The dissolution testing apparatus has a heat control block, which includes a system control unit, a dc power supply and displays. The heat generation portion, if defective, can be easily replaced without the need to replace the main body of the vessel, thereby providing cost savings. Further, by providing an unobstructed observation window between an upper side region and a lower side region of the heat generating sheet member, progress of the dissolution of a pharmaceutical preparation inside the container main body can be observed easily from the outside.
