Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure calculates a phase variance value indicating a degree of variance of a phase in a surrounding of each position in a biological tissue, based on phase values of excitation wave at respective positions in the biological tissue that acts in response to excitation caused by propagation of the excitation wave in the tissue, and generates an analysis map, based on a time series of at least part of the phase variance values at the respective positions. Since the phase variance value indicates the degree of variance of the phase in the surrounding, a position having a large degree of variance of the phase in the surrounding may be specified as a rotation center of rotating excitation wave.

Abstract: A magnetization method and a magnetization apparatus for forming an objective magnetized state in a one-dimensional region of a magnetic body, and a magnet for a magnetic encoder. In the magnetization method, magnetism in one direction is applied to an entire half wavelength interval of a sine wave on the magnetic body by a magnetizing yoke and a magnetized state of a first-order rectangle wave or of a first-order trapezoidal wave is formed in the interval, the magnetized state presenting polarity information in a rectangle or trapezoidal pulse shape; and thereafter, magnetism in opposite direction is applied to a start point and a terminal point of the interval by the same magnetizing yoke or a different magnetizing yoke one time or several times and the magnetized state of the first-order rectangle wave or of the first-order trapezoidal wave is changed into the objective magnetized state.
