摘要:
A non-destructive sugar content measuring apparatus for determining the sugar content of a vegetable or fruit by measuring absorption of light in sugar when near infrared light is made incident on the vegetable or fruit; comprising at least one light source that emits light rays having three kinds of wavelengths within a wavelength range of from 860 nm to 960 nm, and a detector that detects the absorption of light. The detector is disposed at a position except the position on an extended line of a straight line that connects i) the center of a light-incident area formed on the surface of the vegetable or fruit by the light emitted from the light source and incident on the vegetable or fruit and ii) the center of the vegetable or fruit, and at the same time at a position where the light-incident area formed on the surface of the vegetable or fruit by the incident light and the detection area formed on the surface of the vegetable or fruit by the light emergent from the vegetable or fruit and to be received by the detector do not overlap each other. This apparatus effectively enables non-destructive measurement of sugar content of vegetables and fruits in an accuracy of about plus-minus 1.0.degree.Brix, which is a resolving limit of sugar content that can be perceived by humans.
摘要:
A magnetic display unit in which a magnetic panel encloses a colored liquid in which magnetic particles are dispersed. A recording head moves over the panel and has a plurality of electromagnets arranged with at least three electromagnets on each of parallel lines inclined to the direction of movement of the recording heads with all the electromagnets being arranged on equal pitch perpendicular to this movement direction. The electromagnets are selectively actuated as the recording head moves to write a dot pattern.

A system to automatically control the changeover of recording and recording stop, or transmission and transmission stop, and being employed in the recording or transmitting device provided with a vibration pick-up type microphone for picking up bone-conducted voice sounds. The automatic changeover of recording and recording stop or transmission and transmission stop is attained by control signals corresponding to impact vibrations except voice signals uttered by a microphone wearer himself, transmitted through his bones and picked up by the microphone or another controlling microphone.

In a calibrator used for a non-destructive transmission optical measuring apparatus for quantitatively determining a specific component contained in a measuring object by making light incident on the measuring object at its light-incident area, detecting the light having entered, and having been transmitted through, the interior of the measuring object, at its light-emergent area set at a position different from the light-incident area, and measuring absorption of the light to quantitatively determine the specific component contained in the measuring object, the calibrator comprises a closed body having a light inlet and a light outlet, the interior of which is provided with a substrate having light absorption characteristics identical or similar to those of the specific component, and in which a light path length from the light inlet to the light outlet is so set as to be equal or substantially equal to an effective light path length of the light transmitted through the interior of the measuring object. This calibrator can make calibration on the non-destructive transmission optical measuring apparatus without destroying measuring objects and in a high precision and a good reproducibility and also in a simple way and short time.
