摘要:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus feeds magnetic tape from a supply reel to a take-up reel driven by a motor. Sensors generate signals responsive to each revolution of the supply reel and to the rotation of the motor. An end-of-tape detector counts the number of motor-sensor signals per revolution of the supply reel, and thereby detects the approaching end of the magnetic tape, so that the motor can be slowed before the end of the tape is reached. A detection threshold may be selected or computed in advance by using information provided by a third sensor, which generates a signal responsive to each revolution of the take-up reel.

摘要:
Provided is an X-ray imaging apparatus and a method of X-ray imaging, with which the apparatus can be reduced in size and a with which differential phase image or a phase image with consideration of an X-ray absorption effect of an object can be obtained.A displacement of X-rays that have been split by a splitting element and have passed through an object is measured. The displacement can be measured by using a first attenuation element having a transmission amount that continuously changes in accordance with the incident position of X-rays. At this time, an X-ray transmittance of an object that is calculated by using a second attenuation element having a transmission amount that does not change in accordance with the incident position of X-rays is used.
