An acoustic wave transmission system comprises an acoustic wave generating metal tubular member for converting information about the bottom of a borehole, which is obtained by a bottom hole sensor, into an acoustic wave. The acoustic wave generating metal tubular member includes a acoustic wave generating mechanism having at least a magnetostrictive oscillator which is mounted in a recess formed in an outer wall of the acoustic wave generating metal tubular member, and on which a compressive load is imposed by means of a pre-load mechanism using a vise. The magnetostrictive oscillator is constructed of a stack of thin plates each made of a metal magnetostrictive material having a property of increasing its dimensions when magnetized, the thin plates being bonded together by a heat-resistant adhesive. The magnetostrictive oscillator can thus have a buckling strength large enough to resist the compressive load imposed thereon by the pre-load mechanism and a stress due to a strain caused in itself. The acoustic wave generating metal tubular member further includes an excitation current supplier for supplying either a rectangular, sinusoidal, or triangular alternating excitation current modulated with the information about the bottom of the borehole and having a frequency that is half the carrier frequency of the acoustic wave, or a series of excitation pulses modulated with the information about the bottom of the borehole and having a pulse repetition rate that is equal to the carrier frequency of the acoustic wave, to an excitation winding wound around the magnetostrictive oscillator.

A nondestructive testing apparatus is provided with a wave transmitter by a metal-based magnetostrictive vibrator, a magnetically excited current feeding device for feeding the magnetically excited current to the magnetostrictive vibrator, a wave receiver for detecting an acoustic elastic wave propagating through the measurement object, a filter for extracting a signal in a target frequency band to be measured, and an automatically amplifying rate controlling function-equipped amplifier for automatically controlling the amplifying rate so as to obtain a given magnitude amplitude regardless of the magnitude of the reflection wave or the transmission wave detected by the wave receiver, which constitute a feedback loop. The apparatus is further provided with a signal processor for processing the signal detected by the above-described wave receiver, and a display device for displaying the process result obtained by the signal waveform detected by the above-described wave receiver or the above-described signal processor.

An accuracy of the sex determination which is visually inspected by human based on a reference drawing of an egg shape prepared for every parent chicken is insufficient and it takes much time to perform such a determination. Thus, the sex of the fertilized egg is determined by using parameters representing features developed on a surface shape of the above described fertilized egg which are quantified based on contour image data of the above described fertilized egg obtained by taking an image of the fertilized egg which is placed on a setting stand.

An elastic wave generator includes an excitation coil, a magnetostriction oscillator around which the excitation coil is wound and an oscillator support. The excitation coil is wound around the oscillator, which is made of laminated magnetostriction sheets having a positive strain characteristic, in which length varies directionally upon magnetic excitation. The oscillator support has a first support surface bearing against a first end surface of the magnetostriction oscillator, intersecting the direction along which the length of the magnetostriction oscillator changes and a second support surface shrink-fit against a second end surface of the magnetostriction oscillator, intersecting the direction along which the length of the magnetostriction oscillator changes. Thus, the changes in the length of the magnetostriction oscillator due to the magnetic excitation of the excitation coil appearing at the first and second end surfaces is directly supported by the first and second support surfaces. The magnetostriction oscillator is shrink-fit by cooling so it may be placed between the support surfaces while cooled.
