Abstract: A method is provided for designing an acoustic correction filter applicable to a stringed instrument, which is composed of a string member operable to undergo a vibration, a support member for supporting the string member, a body member responsive to the vibration transmitted through the support member for generating a natural sound and a mute attachment for muting the natural sound. The acoustic correction filter is operable when the natural sound is muted by the mute attachment for filtering a signal derived from the vibration so as to create an artificial sound instead of the muted natural sound.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment control system for controlling a wastewater treatment of using a microorganism that can degrade a specific compound, comprises measuring a specific value corresponding to a concentration of the specific compound in wastewater, and controlling the wastewater treatment on the basis of the specific value.

Abstract: A space surrounding a sound source (S) which is set in a sound field (10) to be reproduced is divided into sound source element regions (S1 to Sn), and a space surrounding a sound receiving point (R) is divided into sound receiving element regions (R1 to Rm). An impulse response when a sound radiated from the sound source (S) is emitted from one of the sound source element regions (S1 to Sn), passes through the sound field (10), enters one of the sound receiving element regions (R1 to Rm), and then reaches the sound receiving point (R) is obtained for each of combinations of the sound source element regions (S1 to Sn) and the sound receiving element regions (R1 to Rm). A sound emitted from a real sound source (Sr) in an arbitrary real space (26) is picked up by microphones (MC1 to MCn) placed correspondingly with the sound source element regions (S1 to Sn).
