Abstract: A first resistor, a second resistor, a transistor, and a third resistor connected in series between a ground potential and an output terminal of a power circuit are provided. In addition, a current-detecting resistor is inserted in series between a high-voltage site and an output terminal of a power circuit that supplies a predetermined direct voltage to the high-voltage site. A differential amplifier controls a current flowing through the transistor so that a potential difference generated between both ends of the third resistor becomes proportional to a potential difference generated between both ends of the current-detecting resistor. At this point, by measuring the voltage of a connection node of the first resistor and the second resistor, the value of a current flowing through the high-voltage site can be calculated from the measured value.

The metal tape is joined to the coaxial inner conductor by being laser-welded to opposite side surfaces of the coaxial inner conductor.

Abstract: At the time of restoration of the power supply after a power failure, a voltage higher than that in the normal operation mode is supplied to a heater. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the voltage to be supplied to the heater is switched into the voltage in the normal operation mode while a control signal for stating the operation of an electron tube is output. Alternatively, at the time of power activation, the rate of change of current flowing through a heater is determined for every period of time. When the rate of change becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold, a voltage higher than that in the normal operation mode is supplied to the heater, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the voltage to be supplied to the heater is switched into the voltage in the normal operation mode while a control signal for stating the operation of the electron tube is output.

Abstract: A method for creating and an apparatus for creating a four-dimensional or higher table. A dimension number m and an order n are set, and a permutation of a symbol of n elements and a selecting sequence in accordance with this permutation are determined and set. When one of the n symbols is set as an array element at table position, this setting is started from a first position of all reference axes, and is successively performed to a final position of all the reference axes, and at each position, a symbol unique to each axis direction is selected in the selecting sequence, and at each position of the table, the substitution of a selectable symbol lower in the selecting sequence than the symbol of the determined array element at a position one before an arbitrary position is performed and selection determination is continued.

Abstract: A creation method of a four-dimensional or higher table and a creation apparatus have not been known, its illustration is also difficult, and there is no general creation method independent of the dimension, and accordingly, there has been a problem that the use value and use effect of the table can not be further raised.

Abstract: The secrecy security of coded data can be improved markedly by making it possible to freely vary, within a plurality of natural numbers, the values as the result of coding and decoding operations by a converter using a feedback coding method. As a digital information secrecy security system, the proposed coding method employs a feedback coding method, wherein a Latin square composed of a plurality of natural numbers is used for operation in a converter component of coder and decoder. An initial value IV is set for each of coder and decoder. A preceding coded signal is used as a feedback signal and a feedforward signal for enabling natural numbers to be used as the result of coding, thereby markedly improving the secrecy security of coded signal.
