Abstract: A method for monitoring at least one informative brainwave in at least one individual involved in forming a consensus about a subject to detect whether the at least one individual has formed the consensus in a responsible and fear-free manner comprising: detecting at least one informative brainwave in at least one individual involved in forming a consensus about a subject; processing data from the at least one informative brainwave in at least one individual involved in forming the consensus using a democratic neurotechnology algorithm for analyzing; and comparing input data with reference data to detect whether the at least one individual has formed the consensus in a responsible and fear-free manner; and storing the input and output data. A device for use in this method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A composite panel for constructing an interior real wood finished floor comprising a rectangular planar unit having top, middle and bottom layers, the top layer being solid wood with a unidirectional grain parallel to opposite edges of the panel, the bottom layer being constructed of wood and having at least portions of its thickness with a grain running perpendicular to the unidirectional grain, the middle layer being an elastomeric material bonded to the top and bottom layers.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided that is capable of performing combining processing of image from image processing sections without the intermediation of a frame buffer, and can reduce the delay between image input and display and improve real-time capability. An image processing main chip 110 of a three-input image processing system 100 reads image data stored in frame buffers of storage apparatuses 117 through 119 in accordance with the line frequency of a display section 114, collects, in line units, image data processed by image processing subchips 111 and 112, performs combining processing in line units of the collected image data and image data it has processed itself, and outputs the combined data to display section 114, and image processing subchips 111 and 112 transfer processed image data to image processing main chip 110 in line units.
