Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging system includes a stereoscopic imaging apparatus having a plurality of imaging modules to pick up an image and an imaging sync control module to arithmetically process the video signals output from the plurality of the imaging modules for the stereoscopic imaging operation. In the case where the imaging modules control the exposure using an electronic shutter function and come to have different timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period, an imaging sync control module sets the plurality of the imaging modules at the same timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period by displacing the phase of the timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period of the imaging modules thereby to prevent the image processing capability of the stereoscopic imaging operation from being reduced.

Abstract: A process for desulfurizing molten steel comprising the steps of: removing converter slag from molten steel; adding a desulfurizing flux onto the molten steel from which the converter slag has been removed; supplying power to electrodes at a predetermined distance from the molten steel so as to generate an electric arc, the desulfurizing flux being melted by arc-heating so as to form the slag; and introducing a gas into the molten steel through a lance submerged into the molten steel to stir the molten steel and the slag which are arc-heated. In the process the desulfurizing flux is melted to a slag consisting essentially of 53 to 62% of CaO, 0 to 15% of SiO.sub.2, and 30 to 45% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
