Abstract: A clock signal extractor (11) is connected to an interface of an information equipment (2) for processing an information signal, to extract a clock signal component from the information signal. A clock signal generator (12) generates a pseudo clock signal having an optional phase difference relative to the clock signal component extracted by the clock signal extractor (11). A prevention signal generator (13) generates, based on the pseudo clock signal generated by the clock signal generator (12), a leakage prevention signal having an electromagnetic wave strength stronger than electromagnetic waves leaking from the information signal. A prevention signal output unit (14) outputs the leakage prevention signal generated by the prevention signal generator (13).

Abstract: During continuous casting of metals, a non-moving, vibrating magnetic field is applied to a molten metal in a casting mold to impose only vibration on the molten metal. This continuous casting method can produce a cast slab much less susceptible to flux entrainment, capture of bubbles and non-metal inclusions near the surface of the molten metal, and surface segregation. The magnetic field is preferably produced by arranging electromagnets in an opposing relation on both sides of the mold to lie side by side in the direction of longitudinal width of the mold, and supplying a single-phase AC current to each coil. The single-phase AC current preferably has frequency of 0.10 to 60 Hz. A static magnetic field can be applied intermittently in the direction of thickness of a cast slab. This technique can produce a cast slab substantially free from the flux entrainment and the surface segregation. Preferably, the static magnetic field is intermittently applied under setting of an on-time t1=0.
