Abstract: In correspondence to an application, a resource table to manage computing resources which are available for the application is provided in a rule such that a plurality of applications can mutually use distributed computing resources which could be used so far by itself and can effectively use many distributed computing resources and an execution performance can be raised. When a certain application executes a cooperative processing together with another application, resource tables are copied and a new resource table for managing resources of both of them is formed. By referring to a newly formed resource table by each application, each application can use both of the computing resources more efficiently.

Abstract: A multi-point visual communication system which includes an adaptive filter part for controlling a spatial frequency characteristic of a video signal, a filter selector for selecting a video quality to be transmitted from its own site on the basis of integrated requests received from sites, and a filter control for adaptively controlling a filter characteristic taking both of a video information quantity and situations of a telecommunication network into consideration, and wherein a video signal processed by the adaptive filter part is subjected to an encoding operation and then transmitted to the telecommunication network. Thereby, the video quality can be selected according to users' requests, and the video quality of the multi-point visual communication can be improved without incurring an excessive increase of a video information quantity.

Abstract: This invention provides a compact X-ray CT system capable of obtaining an X-ray CT image having high resolution at a high speed by deflecting a predetermined electron beam and causing the finely focused electron beam to scan on an arcuate anode target inside the same plane as the arcuate anode target for an X-ray source. The anode target for an X-ray source and a detector are disposed in the form of arcs inside substantially the same plane so as to face each other. The electron beam emitted from an electron gun is guided to a deflector through a lens system, is then deflected to a arc form trajectory by a uniform magnetic field generated by the deflector and is guided to the anode target after a reverse magnetic field is applied to the electron beam at a desired position. This electron beam is caused to scan on the anode target at a high speed so as to move the generation position of the X-ray and thus to obtain a sectional image.
