摘要:
There is described a signal processing apparatus, which conducts processing of a signal outputted from an image capturing element that converts an optical image obtained by irradiating light on an object such as document to an electric signal. The apparatus includes: a sample-and-hold section to sample and hold a black signal level and an image signal level, both included in an analogue image signal inputted from an image capturing element; an analogue-to-digital converting section to convert the analogue image signal to digital image data within a predetermined number of conversion steps, which is larger than a number of conversion steps corresponding to a differential value between the black signal level and the image signal level; and a digital subtracting section to subtract black digital-image data representing the black signal level from signal digital-image data representing the image signal level, both being converted by the analogue-to-digital converting section.

The present invention relates generally to a heat treatment system and method for heat-treating an object to be treated. Particularly, the invention relates to a heat treatment system wherein an object to be treated is carried in a reaction vessel, which has been pressure-reduced to a predetermined degree of vacuum and the interior of which is heated to a predetermined process temperature, and a process gas is supplied into the reaction vessel via a gas feed passage to process the object.

A power amplifier having a negative feedback circuit for a transmitter and a control method for its phase are arranged as follows. An I-component baseband signal is added to an I-component baseband feedback signal for producing an I-component adding signal. A Q-component baseband signal is added to a Q-component baseband feedback signal for producing a Q-component adding signal. A modulator orthogonally modulates a carrier signal by the I-component adding signal and the Q-component adding signal. An amplifying circuit operates to amplify the quadrature-modulated signal. A demodulating circuit orthogonally demodulates the part of the output of the amplifying circuit and the carrier signal and then outputs the I-component baseband feedback signal and the Q-component baseband feedback signal. Then, the phase of a selected one of the I-component baseband signal and the Q-component baseband signal is compared with the phase of the adding signal corresponding to the selected component baseband signal for detecting if a phase shift exists. If a phase shift exists, the phase of the carrier signal is adjusted so that the phase shift may be made smaller.

Three-dimensional geometric data of an architecture is generated, and image mapping data is generated by mapping a texture representing a pattern on the surface of the generated three-dimensional geometric data. A reflection of a virtual space is generated on the basis of the generated three-dimensional geometric data and image mapping data, and is changed in correspondence with movement of the viewpoint and/or the line of sight of the operator, so that the operator can interactively experience the virtual space of the architecture.

A combined cycle power plant is disclosed, which has a backup function operating during the normal operation as well as when the plant is activated, so as to reliably maintain the steam cooling operation when an abnormal phenomenon occurs. In this power plant, the cool steam of the steam cooling system for cooling a high-temperature portion of the gas turbine is the high-pressure exhaust gas of the high-pressure turbine. When the exhaust gas is unexpectedly insufficient, high or medium-pressure steam output from the exhaust heat recovery boiler is introduced as cool steam into the steam cooling system, thereby reliably continuing the steam cooling operation.
