Abstract: A magnetic circuit member contains a matrix portion including iron and silicon; and graphite particles in the matrix. Each of the graphite particles has either a spherical shape or a compact vermicular shape. The inclusion of graphite particles having a relatively low conductivity in the matrix portion having a good magnetic property prevents eddy currents from forming in the magnetic circuit member in an alternating magnetic field, thus preserving the original magnetic property found in the absence of the alternating magnetic field. Each of the graphite particles has a spherical or compact vermicular shape that does not intercept magnetic flux passing through the material forming the magnetic circuit member. The graphite contained in the material improves liquidity of the melted material in casting, thus the magnetic circuit member can be manufactured by casting.

Abstract: A soft magnetism metal powder having a majority of particles, each of which, when cross-sectioned, has no greater than ten crystal particles on average, may be coated on an outer surface of each of the particles with a resistive material having a higher resistivity than the underlying parent phase. The soft magnetism metal powder may be prepared by heating a soft magnetism metal powder to a high temperature in a high temperature atmosphere, thereby reducing the number of crystal particles in each of the soft magnetism metal powder particles. A soft magnetism metal formed body may be prepared by pressing the soft magnetism metal particles at a sufficient temperature and pressure.

Abstract: There is provided an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus in which ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received in directions each along the associated one of a plurality of scan lines extending in a depth direction within the subject to obtain received signals, and data representative of displacement of the respective pixel points along each scan line within the subject are evaluated on the basis of the thus obtained received signals, thereby displaying an image based on the data representative of the displacement. According to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, color data of a pixel train involved in the presence of displacement (color-displayed) appearing continuously by less than N pixels (typically, one pixel to two or three pixels at most) is replaced by data representative of the absence of the displacement (not color-displayed).
