Abstract: A fusion splicer according to one embodiment is a fusion splicer that fusion-splices a first end surface of a first optical fiber and a second end surface of a second optical fiber to each other. An axis of the first optical fiber coincides with an axis of the second optical fiber. The fusion splicer includes a first rotation mechanism that rotates the first optical fiber about the axis; a second rotation mechanism that rotates the second optical fiber about the axis; a microscope that captures images of the first end surface and the second end surface; and a display unit that displays a first image of the first end surface captured by the microscope and a second image of the second end surface captured by the microscope in such a manner that the first image is superimposed on the second image in a distinguishable manner.

Abstract: A fusion splicer according to one embodiment includes an optical fiber holder, a rotation mechanism rotating the optical fiber holder, a bending portion bending the optical fiber, a light source allowing light from the side of the optical fiber to be incident on the optical fiber bent by the bending portion, and a power supply unit supplying power to the light source. A tip of the optical fiber protrudes from an end of the optical fiber holder, and the rotation mechanism is disposed on the opposite side of the end of the optical fiber holder in the axial direction extending along the optical fiber. The bending portion and the light source are disposed on the opposite side of the optical fiber holder interposing the rotation mechanism in the axial direction. The bending portion includes a bending adjustment unit adjusting a bending amount of the optical fiber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a copying apparatus capable of changing the copying magnification, by moving and positioning optical members such as lens and mirror and changing the scanning speed of the scanning optical system, wherein the moving and positioning of optical members and the selecting of the scanning speed can be attained by a single motor.

Abstract: An automatic playing musical instrument is provided in which the amount of storage medium to be used is substantially decreased. The automatic playing musical instrument is provided with a key information generating circuit for generating key information corresponding to a depressed key among the plurality of keys. A change of the key information is then detected, and a time interval between one of the change and the other which follows immediately after the one of the change is measured so as to generate a time period data representative of the time interval. Each time the change is detected, a musical performance data comprising the key information and the time period is stored in the storage medium, while on the other hand if the change is not detected, no musical performance data is stored thereby saving the amount of the storage medium to be used.

Abstract: An electronic musical instrument of a channel assignment type wherein depressed keys from among a larger plurality of keys are respectively assigned to a smaller plurality of tone producing channels for generating wave of musical tones. The assigner comprises a microprogram, an arithmetic section, a memory, and an interruption control circuit to assign the depressed keys to available tone producing channels. The current on-off information of the keys is subjected to calculation to form a key-on request file and a key-off request file. A tone request file is formed on a plurality of tone data as designated by the tone levers. A channel assignment table is formed, based on the key-on and key-off request files, to indicate a status of assigning the depressed keys to the tone producing channels.

Abstract: In a wave generator for an electronic musical instrument, a plurality of sampling values of a musical tone waveform having a given envelope are simultaneously carried out in a time division system according to the musical tone waveform calculation sequence which can be varied as required; more specifically, calculation for generating a musical tone waveform is carried out while advancing phase, the envelope given to the musical tone waveform is divided into plural segments whose time intervals can be changed as desired, and phase increment values are set for the segments thus obtained while increment values are set for the phase increment values, respectively, these values being accumulated to carry out the calculation of the musical tone waveform, whereby the musical tone waveform and its envelope are varied intricately to produce musical tones rich in natural feeling.

Abstract: An automatic performance system in an electronic musical instrument comprises circuits for forming digital performance information signals by converting the displacement of movable members operated according to the contents of a performance into digital signals, and circuits for forming musical tone information signals corresponding to the contents of the performance from harmonic rich tone signals by controlling predetermined signal paths with electronic switches operated in response to the performance information signals, the digital performance information signals being detected and stored, and read out into the electronic switches at proper time instants, whereby all of the performance information signals are automatically reproduced as musical tone information signals with fidelity.

Abstract: Tone lever switches deliver respective digital information signals each representing the manipulated state of each tone lever. A memory circuit memorizes plural sets of the information signals. A write/read control circuit determines whether the memory circuit memorizes the digital information signals from the tone lever switches or it delivers out the memorized digital information signals. A tone color control circuit controls the respective intensities of the tone signals of respective voices in accordance with the information signals read out from the memory circuit.
