Abstract: A first multiplier multiplies a correction value by an adjustment coefficient and generates an adjusted correction value, the correction value being read from the correction value table, and the adjustment coefficient being determined from a zoom magnification and a focus distance. A second multiplier multiplies the adjusted correction value by a cosine of an angle formed between a position of each target pixel and the center of the frame and generates a horizontal correction value that corrects the target pixel in a horizontal direction. A horizontal filter adds all multiplication results obtained by multiplying a plurality of pixels in a left-right direction with each target pixel as a center, by left-right asymmetric coefficients, generates a horizontal high-pass filter component, adds, to each target pixel, a horizontal correction component obtained by multiplying the horizontal high-pass filter component by the horizontal correction value, and corrects each target pixel in the horizontal direction.

Abstract: A linear matrix circuit generates a second R signal, a second G signal, and a second B signal by performing a matrix operation of a correction coefficient of 3 rows×3 columns including first to third correction coefficients, fourth to sixth correction coefficients, and seventh to ninth correction coefficients on a first R signal, a first G signal, and a first B signal. An R coefficient corrector performs correction so that the first correction coefficient to be multiplied by the first R signal is caused to be close to 1 and the second and third correction coefficients to be respectively multiplied by the first G signal and the first B signal are caused to be close to 0, as a first difference value obtained by subtracting the first G signal from the first B signal increases when the first difference value exceeds a first threshold.

Abstract: A PCB decomposition reactor includes: an injector for injecting a mixture of water and sodium hydroxide connected to the lower part of the reaction vessel; an outlet pipe for withdrawing treated fluid connected to the sidewall of the reaction vessel and a cyclone for separating sodium carbonate from the treated fluid; a discharge pipe connected to the top of the cyclone to discharge treated fluid from which precipitated sodium carbonate has been removed; a downcomer for the separated fluid connected to the bottom of the cyclone so that precipitated sodium carbonate and fluid containing it are discharged therethrough and to an injector which is connected to a feed pipe for feeding a mixture of PCB and mineral oil; and a gas supply nozzle for injecting a gas into the reaction vessel installed at the bottom of the reaction vessel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a PCB decomposing apparatus capable of decomposing PCB efficiently. The PCB decomposing apparatus comprises a PCB extracting container for extracting PCB from a PCB-containing material with an organic solvent. A distilling tower provided on the downstream side of the PCB extracting container distills the organic solvent to separate the PCB. A primary reactor provided on the downstream side of the distilling tower includes a nozzle for supplying aqueous Na2CO3 solution and a nozzle for supplying an oxidizing agent into the container. A liquid cyclone provided on the downstream side of the primary reactor can remove Na2CO3 having a large particle size. A secondary reactor formed by a long pipe is connected to the liquid cyclone. A gas-liquid separator provided on the further downstream side of the secondary reactor can separate a gas from a solution.

Abstract: This invention provides a PCB decomposition reactor which can decompose PCB efficiently. In this PCB decomposition reactor, an injector for injecting a mixture of water and sodium hydroxide into a reaction vessel is connected to the lower part of the reaction vessel. An outlet pipe for withdrawing the fluid treated within the reaction vessel is connected to the sidewall of the reaction vessel. The other end of the outlet pipe is connected to a cyclone for separating sodium carbonate from the treated fluid. A discharge pipe is connected to the top of the cyclone, so that the treated fluid from which the precipitated sodium carbonate has been removed is discharged therethrough. A downcomer for the separated fluid is connected to the bottom of the cyclone, so that the precipitated sodium carbonate and some fluid containing it are discharged therethrough. The lower end of the downcomer is connected to an injector, which has connected thereto a feed pipe for feeding a mixture of PCB and mineral oil.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for removing sodium chloride and potassium salts, which are impurities concentrated and accumulated in pulp digesting chemicals, from ash collected from a soda recovery boiler. This process comprises the steps of (a) mixing ash collected from the combustion exhaust gas of the soda recovery boiler with water to form a slurry, adjusting the pH of the slurry to 10 or less by the addition of sulfuric acid, adjusting the temperature of the slurry to 20.degree. C. or above, and holding the slurry at that temperature for a sufficient time to cause sodium chloride and potassium salts present in the collected ash to be dissolved in the water; (b) cooling the slurry to a temperature below 20.degree. C. by the addition of ice and/or water so as to precipitate solid matter therefrom; and (c) separating the slurry into solid and liquid components and recovering the solid component while discharging the liquid component out of the system.

Abstract: A warning device for a vehicle is capable of checking a disorder in the vehicle in a sequential order through a dialog between the device and an operator. The device first indicates conduction of a test before a starter is turned on and the operator depresses a test switch in compliance with this indication to test whether all indication units and buzzer can operate normally. After finishing this test, any disorder which may exist at various starting check points such as a hydraulic fluid level and a radiator water level is detected by an associated indication unit. After the starting check up has been completed and the starter is turned on, driving check points such as a torque converter oil temperature and a brake air pressure are constantly watched and if there occurs any disorder in such check points, the operator is informed of such disorder by operation of all of the indication units and the buzzer.
