A viscoelasticity measurement instrument having a support whose position can be varied relative to a sample holder for holding an end portion of a sample. A detection rod is resiliently held to the support, and holds a part of the sample. When a DC or AC force is applied to the detection rod, the displacement of the detection rod relative to the support is detected. The position of the support is varied or the DC force is varied to restore the displacement to zero. In this manner, the effect of the elastic constant of the support is eliminated. In one embodiment, a detection rod is support by leaf springs. Negative feedback control is utilized to return deformation of the leaf springs to zero at all times to eliminate the spring constant effect of the leaf springs. Since the average displacement of the leaf springs is zero, the positional relation between the permanent magnet and the coil forming the electromagnetic force generator varies negligibly. Therefore, the linearity between the current flowing through the coil and the generated force is secured well to enhance the accuracy of the measured viscoelasticity data.

Apparatus for controlling the temperature of a sample in a thermal analysis system according to a temperature-control program in order to facilitate the production of rising and falling temperatures. The apparatus includes a first heater, a thermally insulating container having an opening and containing a mass of liquified coolant, a coolant vapor flow pipe, a sample chamber for containing the sample, a second heater, a sample chamber temperature detector, a temperature-control program setting circuit, a first power supply regulator and a second power supply regulator. The first heater is disposed within the liquified coolant in the container and is operated according to a desired temperature-control program set in the setting circuit to vaporize the liquified coolant so that the vaporized coolant is introduced through the pipe and into the sample chamber to cool the interior of the chamber, while the interior of the chamber is heated by the second heater to thereby control the production of rising and falling temperatures in the sample chamber.

Since output voltage e of coupler CU2 is displaced in phase by -135 degrees from input signals c and d (by -270 degrees from signals a and b), a carrier which makes signal f is phase shifted by -270 degrees by phase shifter .phi.1 so that signal f may have the same phase as signal e. Signal f and signal e are power composed by first 3 dB coupler M1, and are further phase shift controlled by variable phase shifters PH11 and PH12 so that they may have the same phase. Further, an output signal of variable phase shifter PH11 is phase shifted by -90 degrees by phase shifter SH1 so that it has a phase difference by 90 degrees from an output signal of variable phase shifter PH2, and the two signals controlled in this manner are inputted to 3 dB coupler M2. Consequently, two signals e and f inputted to the amplifier are all outputted as output voltage EOUT. According to the present invention of a television broadcasting machine, since a carrier is phase modulated and amplitude modulated with amplitude information and phase information obtained from an input video signal, a vestigial side band signal is outputted to form a television signal without using vestigial side band.

A tension type dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus composed of a strain detector for detecting changes in length of a specimen, an electromagnetic force generator for applying a force to the specimen, a moving mechanism for moving the electromagnetic force generator, a movement control unit for controlling the amount of movement of the moving mechanism, and a monotone function calculation unit for outputting a movement control timing to the movement control unit. The monotone function calculation unit performs a monotone function operation on the data of distance by which the moving mechanism has been moved and uses the calculation result as a movement control timing for the next movement control of the moving mechanism. As a result, this viscoelasticity measuring apparatus has a movement control loop that considers relaxation phenomena in connection with a change in length of the specimen due to stress relaxation and creep that occur in the specimen while driving the moving mechanism.

Herein disclosed is a method for storing data in a rotary type recording medium rotating in a predetermined direction in which the read of the information from one track to an adjacent track is conducted substantially continously when the head is moved in the first direction but discontinuously when the head is moved in a second direction reversed from the first one. The data is stored in at least one storage area on the recording medium such that data blocks are written in the order of tracks in the second direction, such that the newest data block leads in each track, and such that the data blocks in the storage area are read in the order from the newest one when the head is moved in the first direction.
