Abstract: A method for predicting a traffic flow rate at a point on a road to control a traffic light signaling system measures a traffic density on the road to predict a traffic flow rate by utilizing the fact that a velocity of a vehicle on the road is restricted by an interval between successive vehicles, since the traffic density is locally increased when the vehicle interval is not uniform and therefore the spatial mean speed is lowered. This method offers higher accuracy by utilizing a correction coefficient obtained from an actual vehicle distribution, for instance, a coefficient derived from entropy.

Abstract: A device for measuring the inside information of a light-scattering specimen using a Line Spread Function (LSF) function of a light-scattering specimen and the intensity distribution of light which is transmitted through the light scattering specimen in repeating light scattering and output from the light scattering specimen. The device comprises: an optical system for illumination for irradiating a specimen to be measured (a light scattering specimen); an optical system for detection for detecting the transmitted light through the specimen; and a data processor for operating the detected transmitted light data. The above-mentioned data processor operates the inside information of a specimen to be measured based on the light intensity distribution of the transmitted light through the specimen and an LSF function which is newly defined, and displays the inside information as a tomograph image.

Abstract: A method of preparing a lithographic printing plate in which a toner image formed by electrophotographic process is transferred and fixed on a metal base lithographic printing plate having a thin insulating synthetic resin surface layer. Thereafter the synthetic resin layer on the non-image area is removed followed by removal of the toner to leave resin image areas.

Abstract: Wind power turbines are largely divided into vertical axis type wind power turbines and propeller type (horizontal axis type) wind power turbines. The present invention discloses a vertical axis type wind power turbine. The airfoil of blades in this vertical axis type wind power turbine is formed in such manner that, denoting a proper position on the airfoil chord line as a camber reversing position, a camber having a downward convex curvature is given between said position and a leading edge and a camber having an upward convex curvature is given between said position and a trailing edge so as to be a mean line and a rational thickness distribution is given to this mean line. This vertical axis type wind power turbine is formed by keeping the spanwise direction of the above mentioned blade parallel with a vertical rotary axis and fitting a plurality of blades at regular intervals at a distance to the vertical rotary axis through respective supporting arms.
