Abstract: A shoot of a plant is cultivated under the presence of glutathione, so that the shoot is rooted. It is possible to cultivate the shoot under the presence of glutathione by use of a rooting medium including glutathione or by contacting a solution including glutathione with the shoot. Oxidized glutathione is preferably used as glutathione. By promoting rooting of the shoot of the plant, a rooting rate of the shoot of the plant is improved. This improves productivity of a clone seedling.

Abstract: A display screen comprises many pixel lamps arrayed uniformly and in a regular pattern. Pixel lamps come in three types (first- to third-color lamps), and image data to be displayed on the screen consist of bit-map type multi-colored data in which one pixel is represented by a set of three-type color data (first- to third-color data). Each color data plane on a bit-map image data plane is divided into many groups each consisting of a plurality of contiguous pixels, each group is correlated to each first color lamp on the display screen, an operation of selecting in a preset sequence first-color data of a plurality of pixels belonging to one group is repeated, and a first-color lamp correlating to each group is emission-driven according to a selected first-color data. (The same steps are followed for second- and third-color lamps).

Abstract: A large number of pixel lamps are evenly arrayed in a regular pattern to constitute a display screen. The pixel lamps are in three kinds which are a first color lamp, a second color lamp and a third color lamp. These three kinds of pixel lamps are evenly dispersed on the display screen. Image data to be displayed on the screen is multi-color data of a bitmap format, in which one pixel is expressed by a gathering of first color data, second color data and third color data. The first color data plane (second color data plane, third color data plane) on a bitmap image data plane is divided into a multitude of groups, each group being composed of a plurality of pixels arranged adjacently to each other. Each group is made to correspond to each first color lamp (second color lamp, third color lamp).

Abstract: A system has a screen module for displaying multicolor images on a screen having orderly-arrayed first, second, and third color LEDs, and a data-sending module sending control signals and image data to be displayed. The screen module has first, second, and third color gradation-control circuits for each pixel. The data-sending module comprises: a frame memory for temporarily storing image data; an image-data transfer controller for reading out image data from the memory and outputting it with a data-transfer clock; first, second, and third color pulse-train generators for generating high-speed pulse trains to be given to each gradation-control circuit; and a pulse-train outputting means for outputting the pulse trains for each color. Each pulse-train generator generates, with a constant period, pulse trains of 2n pieces or a number closely therebelow, pulse intervals varying with time according to a preset characteristic.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrorheological fluid damping control system. The suspension control system is comprised of a transformer and a rectifier circuit, which is electrically connected to a secondary winding of the transformer and is provided with capacitors. A capacitive load is electrically connected to output terminals of the rectifier circuit. When voltage to be applied across the capacitive load is cut off, electric charges stored in the capacitors and in a capacitive component of the capacitive load are discharged through a resistive component of the capacitive load. The capacitance of each capacitor is determined such that a discharge time constant of a circuit comprised of tile capacitors and the capacitive load is a predetermined value or less.

Abstract: In order to develop sufficient vibration damping performance and effectively prevent transmission of goading vibrations and others in a vibration damping device using an electrorheological fluid, if the moving directions of vibration input side member and vibration output side member of the device are opposite to each other, a voltage applied to electrodes in the device is increased to increase the viscosity of the electrorheological fluid, while if absolute value of vibration acceleration velocity in the vibration input side member exceeds a given value, a voltage applied to the electrodes is always decreased to decrease the viscosity of the fluid.

Abstract: A height sensor comprises a pair of light-emitting elements disposed at positions spaced at different distances from a surface desired to be measured, the elements alternately emitting light rays, and a light-receiving element for receiving a light ray generated from each light-emitting element and reflected by the measured surface, the element producing a signal corresponding to the quantity of light received. The signal outputted from the light-receiving element is logarithmically converted by a logarithmic converter circuit. The output thereof thus has its direct current components removed by a filter.
