摘要:
A railway vehicle body tilting system has a height control valve for supplying and discharging compressed air to and from an air spring by an actuator, an auxiliary control valve for supplying compressed air to the air spring and thereby causing a car body to tilt, a backup valve for switching the connection between the air spring and either the height control valve or the auxiliary control valve, and a controller installed in each of vehicles linked together as a train. During normal operation, the controller provided in each of the cars controls the height control valve of the respective car and monitors for faulty operation in other linked controllers. If a fault arises in a linked controller, control over the malfunctioning controller is terminated, and another normal controller controls a backup valve in the car with the malfunctioning control device.

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is disclosed for imaging 3-dimensional images by irradiating ultrasonic waves to an object and reconstructing the 3-dimensional image. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe for transmitting/receiving ultrasonic waves to/from an object to be examined, an ultrasonic image construction unit for constructing a 3-dimensional ultrasonic image based on the 3-dimensional ultrasonic image data from the ultrasonic signals received from the ultrasonic probe, and a display unit for displaying the 3-dimensional ultrasonic image. A position sensor is provided for detecting the position of the ultrasonic probe. A positional information analyzing unit stores the first position of the ultrasonic probe obtained from the position sensor and analyzes the positional relationship between the first position and the second position. The ultrasonic image construction unit converts the 3-dimensional ultrasonic image data obtained at the second position into a 3-dimensional ultrasonic image at the first position according to the positional relationship, thereby constructing the 3-dimensional ultrasonic image at the first position.

A vehicle body tilting device for railway vehicle is arranged to control the tilt of a vehicle body by exchanging compressed air between a pair of left and right air springs. This device includes: a control valve for tilt operation, connected between the air springs; a pump for tilt operation, connected between the air springs through the control valve; and a control device for controlling both the control valve and the pump. The control valve forms a circulation flow path for allowing compressed air, delivered by the pump, to circulate therethrough. Before controlling the tilt of the vehicle body, the control device drives in advance the pump to circulate the compressed air through the circulation flow path to provide a delivery standby state, changes over at predetermined timing the position of the control valve, and delivers the compressed air from one of the air springs to the other.

The present invention relates to an optical fiber, wherein PMD will not significantly increase even when an external factor, such as a lateral pressure, a bending and the like, is applied to the optical fiber. The optical fiber is imparted with a twist that is an elastic torsion with stress.
