摘要:
A low pressure metal vapor discharge lamp has a double-tube type discharge vessel consisting of a fully closed outer glass bulb and an inner glass tube substantially coaxially disposed in the outer glass bulb, the inner glass tube being closed at its fixed end and opened at its free end. The space within the discharge vessel is filled with a small amount of a metal and a rare gas of a low pressure. A single cathode is disposed within the space inside the inner glass tube, while a plurality of anodes are disposed in the annular space between the inner glass tube and the outer glass bulb. According to the invention, a number of discharge channels corresponding to that of the anodes are formed between the single cathode and respective anodes, via the opening end brim of the inner glass tube. In operation, anode oscillations take place alternately in respective anodes to cause a self-excitation switching operation, so that a plurality of plasmas are formed. Further, in order to avoid flickering of the output light of the lamp, which is attributable to the irregular fluctuation of the plasmas, means are provided for stably fixing the discharge channels to respective constant positions. The means for fixing the discharge channels may be in the form of axial notches formed in the opening end brim of the inner glass tube, corresponding to the anodes, or a partition plate disposed at the opening end of the inner glass tube and adapted to separate the discharge channels from each other.

Apparatus wherein an identical field of view of an object to-be-observed is imaged in two directions different from each other and wherein the image in one of the directions and the image in the other direction are reproduced and displayed as a left eye image and a right eye image respectively, thereby to perform the stereoscopic version of the object to-be-observed, comprising means to indicate one mark on each of the left eye image and the right eye image, and means to move both the marks to any desired positions on the respective images. The mark moving means has the function of interlockingly moving both the marks by equal distances in the same direction on the respective images, and the function of singly moving only the mark on one of the images as the position of the mark on the other image is kept fixed, and it is provided with means to control the change-over between the interlockingly moving state and the singly moving state. In moving the marks to points on the respective images as correspond to desired points on the object to-be-observed, both the marks may be interlockingly moved until the mark on the other image arrives at the desired point, and subsequently, with the mark position on the other image kept fixed, only the mark on the one image may be singly moved to the desired point.

A solid state starter apparatus for a discharge lamp comprises a current limiter, an AC power supply, a discharge lamp of filament-preheating type and a switching circuit for controlling the turning on and off of the discharge lamp. The switching circuit further includes a lightedstate detector circuit for detecting the turning on or off of the discharge lamp, a current breaker circuit controlled by the lighted-state detector circuit to cause the filament current to be turned on and off, and a preheater circuit for starting to supply a filament preheating current in accordance with the magnitude of the current controlled by the current breaker circuit.
摘要:
A tomographic imaging system is disclosed in which the quantity of absorption or transmittance of a transmissive radiation by or through a certain tomographic cross-section of an object under consideration is detected and the distribution of radiation absorption or transmittance in the cross-section is reconstructed through a convolution operation. A weighting function used in the convolution operation is prepared with a predetermined one of its positive orders the value of which is an integration of the weighting function from the predetermined positive order to positive infinity and a predetermined one of its negative orders the value of which is in integration of the weighting function from the predetermined negative order to negative infinity.
摘要:
In a system in which the tomographic image of an object under investigation is produced on the basis of the amount of absorption of radiation by the object when a source of radiation and a plurality of radiation sensitive detectors with the object interposed therebetween are rotated around the object, the output signal from at least one of the plural detectors is used to correct the radiation absorption amount. Another selected one of the plural detectors may be used for checking whether the object is positioned within a useful detection view.
