A hierarchical signal processing apparatus includes aggregates having logic operation portions. The apparatus compares a final output signal from a logic operation portion in a final aggregate with a teaching signal, and generates an error signal by taking a signal which exists only in the teaching signal as a positive error signal, and taking a signal which exists only in said final output signal as a negative error signal. An error signal generating portion in the apparatus generates a positive error signal of a logic operating portion within a certain aggregate which supplies one or more output signals thereof to said logic operation means of another aggregate based on one or more logic operations on the excitatory weight function signal of said weight function signal, the positive error signal, the inhibitory weight function signal of said weight function signal and the negative error signal, and also generates a negative error signal of said logic operation means within said certain aggregate which supplies one or more output signals thereof to said logic operation means of said other aggregate based on one or more logic operations on the inhibitory weight function signal of said weight function signal, the positive error signal of said other aggregate, the excitatory weight function signal of said weight function signal and the negative error signal.

An image forming apparatus includes an image memory section in an image processing section for temporarily storing an image signal read from an optical system via a photoelectric transducer section, an arithmetic section for numerical computation based on data stored in the image memory section, a decision section adapted to conclude that an image forming operation should be interrupted when a variation rate E of the image signal is lower than a threshold value T read from a ROM as a result of computation by the arithmetic section, and to conclude that the image forming operation should be continued when the variation rate E is equal to or higher than the threshold value T. A section is also provided for interrupting the image forming operation in response to a command from the decision section when there is no operator's key entry to order the interruption or execution of the image forming operation within a predetermined period of time.

A PLL circuit comprising a phase comparator unit which forms a differentiation signal based upon both edges of an external signal, outputs an early pulse only during a period in which the differentiation signal is overlapped on a period from the leading edge to the trailing edge of a reference signal, and outputs a late pulse only during a period in which the differentiation signal is overlapped on a period from the trailing edge to the leading edge thereof, a charge pump unit which calculates and compares the amounts of integration of the early pulse and the late pulse, lowers the output voltage when the amount of the late pulse is larger than the amount of the early pulse and raises the output voltage when it is smaller, and a VCO which outputs a corrected reference signal of which the frequency decreases or increases accompanying the increase or decrease in the output voltage of the charge pump unit, wherein the VCO is controlled by the output voltage of the charge pump unit and by the early pulse and the late pulse, and works to raise the oscillation frequency when the late pulse is longer than the early pulse and to lower the oscillation frequency when it is shorter.

Infrared radiation is incident on a total reflection plane of a prism and penetrates a liquid sample through a metal layer put between the total reflection plane and the liquid sample in close contact therewith whereby the infrared radiation is partially absorbed by the liquid sample. Alternatively, the liquid sample may be put between the total reflection plane and the metal layer in close contact therewith so that part of the light penetrates the sample from the prism through the total reflection plane to interact with the metal layer and then is caused to reenter into the prism whereby it is partly absorbed by the liquid sample. The metal layer is for enhancing the intensity of the electric field component of the infrared radiation. The incident angle of the infrared radiation on the total reflection plane is so set that the partially absorbed infrared radiation is total-reflected. The total-reflected infrared radiation is detected by a detector so as to obtain an absorption spectrum of the liquid sample by the infrared radiation.

An ion-selective electrode comprises an ion-sensing membrane, an internal electrode adhered to the ion-sensing membrane, and a lead connected to said internal electrode. The internal electrode used comprises a plurality of metallic wires arranged into a grating or a mesh. The wires comprises a metal core and a surface layer of a salt of the metal. The metal of the core is silver and the salt of the metal is a silver halide selected from the group consisting of silver bromide, silver chloride and silver iodide. At least a part of the internal electrode is buried inside the ion-sensing membrane. Various components, the ion-sensing membrane, the internal electrode, the lead, an external terminal, are disposed in a flow-through cell having a flow path formed therein, through which path a sample solution is passed, to constitute the ion-selective electrode. In the flow-through cell is disposed a means of maintaining the humidity to feed water vapor therefrom to the ion-sensing membrane. This structure, even when the ion-sensing membrane has a complicated configuration such as concave or convex surface, enables the establishment of good adhering conditions between the internal electrode and the ion-sensing membrane while retaining the complicated configuration of the ion-sensing membrane without reducing the effective contact areas of the ion-sensing membrane and the internal electrode.

A charge-pump circuit for controlling a voltage controlled oscillator by converting a phase difference between two input signals, which never become low at the same time, into a voltage. The charge-pump circuit includes first and second feeder circuits, made of bipolar transistors, outputting current in accordance with the input signals; a capacitor circuit having first, second, and third capacitors, and the first and the second or the first and the third capacitors are charged by the output current from the first or the second feeder circuit; and a differential amplifying circuit amplifying the voltage between the ends of the first capacitor to a predetermined voltage for output. The differential amplifying circuit operates to draw the same leakage current from the second and the third capacitors when the first capacitor is not being charged. The charge-pump circuit is effectively used to control the frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator in an PLL circuit having a phase comparator, a voltage controlled oscillator, and an output circuit.

A magnetic levitating transportation apparatus comprising a rail and a vehicle capable of travelling along the rails by a linear motor and caused to magnetically levitate by magnet units including permanent magnets and electro-magnets. The gap between the rail and each of the magnetic units is controlled by controlling the current supplied to the magnet units so that the current is substantially zero when the vehicle is in the levitated condition. One of the magnet units is movably mounted to the vehicle and moved by the piezoelectric actuator so that the gap between this magnet unit and the rail can be adjusted. The controller controls the piezoelectric actuator based on the current supplied to the magnet units.
