There is provided a preform for a fluorescent lamp comprising a bulb and a stem provided with a filament and a discharge electrode and a fluorescent lamp prepared by the preform without an exhaust pipe for use as an indicating lamp, the fluorescent lamp being sealed after exhausting inside air and charging inert gas and mercury through an appropriate space formed between the bulb and the stem inserted into the bulb. Thus, even when liquefied mercury is present in the discharge chamber, it receives a large amount of heat from the filament applied voltage and is easily and quickly evaporated, whereby the characteristics of the lamp become stable quickly after turning on the lamp.

A flavor-tasting article including a flavor-generating medium, and a heating source disposed physically separated from the flavor-generating medium to heat the flavor-generating medium to release a flavoring component therefrom. The flavor-generating medium includes a flavoring component-holding material formed of a heat-irreversibly gelled, heat-irreversibly coagulating glucan and a flavoring component held in the holding material. The flavor-generating material releases a sufficient amount of the flavoring component only through heating.

This invention relates to a ultra-high speed nuclear magnetic resonance fluid imaging method for selectively reconstructing projected images of a fluid from an echo train generated by the use of a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically. A pulse-like encoding gradient magnetic field is used in combination with a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically, so as to generate an echo train containing alternately echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to a flow is emphasized and echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected, and subjected sequentially to phase encoding. A data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is emphasized and a data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected are formed from sampling data of these echoes, respectively, and two images are then obtained by subjecting them individually to two-dimensional Fourier transform. Both of these images are then subtracted.

An x-ray having the energy bandwidth which extends between above and below the absorption edge energy of an element constituting a contrast agent is emitted from an x-ray source as an x-ray to be projected to an object, the x-ray at the higher energy component than the absorption energy of the contrast-agent constituting element is detected by one x-ray detector, the x-ray, having been transmitted through the one x-ray detector, at the lower energy component than the absorption edge energy of the contrast agent constituting element is detected by another x-ray detector, and a subtraction image is obtained by processing the image data from both detectors.

In a film image reading out device, in which one surface of a film, where images are recorded, is scanned repeatedly with a laser light beam along a scanning line and images are read out by detecting continuously light, which has passed through the film, while moving the film with a low speed in the direction, which is perpendicular to the scanning line, a light diffusing member is disposed closely to the surface opposite to that of the film scanned with the laser light beam and the optical density of the film is detected continuously by leading transmitted and diffused light to a photodetector by means of a bundle of optical fibers.

A voice synthesis device includes: a memory for storing a plurality of recorded voice data; a dividing unit for dividing a text into a plurality of words or phrases, wherein the text is to be converted into a voice message; a verifying unit for verifying whether one of the recorded voice data corresponding to each word or phrase is disposed in the memory; and a voice synthesizing unit for preparing a whole of the text with the recorded voice data when all of the recorded voice data corresponding to all of the plurality of words or phrases are disposed in the memory, and for preparing the whole of the text with rule-based synthesized voice data when at least one of the recorded voice data corresponding to one of the plurality of words or phrases is not disposed in the memory.

A voice recognition apparatus recognizes speaker's voice collected by a microphone, determines whether a telephone number is grouped into categories based on an inclusion of vocabulary in the telephone number that divides the telephone number into groups such as an area code, a city code and a subscriber number, and displays the telephone number in a display part in a grouped form of the area code, city code and subscriber number.
摘要:
A fluorescent lamp comprising a bulb, a fluorescent material coated on an internal surface of the bulb, a stem, a discharge chamber filled with gas and mercury, a thermal cathode filament coated with electron emitting material, lead wires passing air-tight through the stem and supporting the thermal cathode filament and an anode, where the anode is substantially rectangular with a thickness 1/16.about.3/16 of the longitudinal length of the thermal cathode filament and is substantially parallel to cathode filament in a cross-sectional view along an axis Z. The thermal cathode filament and the rectangular anode are arranged such that either the thermal cathode filament or the rectangular anode is in a rotated position relative to the other on a parallel flat surface within an angle range of 30-60 degrees. In this composition, the smaller discharge spot is obtained to improve thermal electron emission efficiency and efficiency of the fluorescent lamp. Additionally, the luminance of the fluorescent lamp does not greatly decrease and is sufficient for use even after the discharge spot passes the center point of the thermal cathode filament.
摘要:
Original image coordinate data representing boundary positions of an object detected through the search of the object along predetermined multiple directions is produced in advance. A range image seen from a display plane is produced through the affine transformation process for the detected boundary positions and comparison and substitution processes for distances by means of a Z-buffer. A shading process is performed based on the range image, and the resulting object image is displayed on a CRT screen or the like. This method enables the transformation of voxel-wise original image data into original image coordinate data merely through the sequential access to the original image data, eliminating the need of intricate image processes such as tracking on the object surface, and is capable of displaying a three-dimensional image of the object quickly and also enhancing the picture quality of the displayed image.
