Abstract: A PSK modulator 20 applies digital modulation processing to an RF wave supplied from an RF wave oscillator 22, by means of phase shift keying (PSK) based on a periodical signal sequence supplied from a pattern generator 24, to thereby generate a continuous wave. The continuous wave output from the PSK modulator 20 is delayed in delay circuits 26I and 26Q and is then supplied, as a reference signal, to each of mixers of a receiving mixer 30. Each of the delay circuits 26I and 26Q delays the continuous wave by a delay amount in accordance with a depth of a target position and outputs a delayed reference signal. Thus, demodulation processing is performed with a correlation between a reception signal from the target position and the reference signal being enhanced, and Doppler information from the target position is selectively extracted by a Doppler information analyzing unit 44.

Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imager. The imager includes an imaging surface capturing an object scene image through a zoom lens and a focus lens. When accepting a zoom instruction, a first changer changes a distance from the zoom lens to the imaging surface. With reference to a tracking curve, a second changer executes a process for changing the distance from the focus lens to the imaging surface, in parallel with the change process executed by the first changer. A limiter limits the change process of the second changer when a change manner by the first changer satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: To reduce secondary flow loss and to improved turbine efficiency, a section located radially outward of a border section 28 of a stationary blade 21 is bent in the rotational direction of a rotor. Thus, even if combustion gas leaks from a tip clearance between an end wall of a casing and a tip portion of a rotor blade, and a stagnation line 35 near a tip portion 22 is situated in the side of a back surface 24, because a section located radially outward of the border section 28 is bent in the rotational direction of the rotor, the stagnation line 35 is also situated toward the rotational direction of the rotor. Therefore, the stagnation lines 35 formed at various heights in the heightwise direction of the stationary blade 21 are generally aligned in the rotational direction of the rotor. Thus, fluctuation of pressure distribution in the heightwise direction of the stationary blade 21, of the combustion gas flowing into the stationary blade 21 can be reduced.

A first connection surface of a connection portion of a one-side pressed terminal as a second anode (cathode) lead tab terminal is connected to an inner circumferential surface of the anode (cathode) foil.

Thus, an electrolytic capacitor free from position displacement of an anode (a cathode) lead tab terminal while maintaining characteristics as an electrolytic capacitor can be obtained.
