Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus, a head mounted display housing, and an information processing method capable of providing a virtual reality experience suitable for individual users. Provided is an information processing apparatus that is detachably held by a housing to be usable as a head mounted display, and that includes a display unit (306) that displays an image; a detection unit (308) that detects an indicator provided in the housing; and a control unit (302) that controls the image displayed on the display unit based on information indicated by the indicator, the information being detected by the detection unit.

Abstract: A ZnS (Ag) scintillation detector comprises a ZnS (Ag) scintillators layer 22 which is excited by incident ?-rays and emits a scintillator light, a photomultiplier tube 16 which converts the scintillator light into an electric pulse signal, and a counting rate meter 34 which counts the obtained pulse signal. The scintillator layer has a thickness which is not less than a range of ?-rays from ?-ray emitting nuclides (natural radioactive nuclides) to be separated, which enables energy absorption of ?-rays from the ?-ray emitting nuclides to be separated to entirely occur in the scintillator layer, and which enables light shielding of the scintillator light generated in the scintillator layer by the scintillator layer itself to be neglected. A pulse height discrimination circuit 32 is further provided in a preceding stage of the counting rate meter. Thereby, the effect of the natural radioactive nuclides can be reduced and the contamination control can be efficiently and smoothly performed.

Abstract: In a preheating apparatus of a diesel engine of the type wherein, at the time of starting the engine, a fuel pump is used to inject fuel through a nozzle into a precombustion chamber provided with a preheating device, and the suction air preheated by the combustion of the fuel injected into the precombustion chamber is supplied into the combustion chamber of the engine, until the speed reaches a certain predetermined value and with a substantially constant, small amount of fuel when the speed of the engine is in excess of the predetermined value, the opening of the nozzle is controlled in accordance with the speed of the engine.

Abstract: Abnormal conditions of the engine and auxiliary machines mounted on a construction equipment are detected by sensors and individually displayed by a plurality of abnormal condition display circuits connected to respective sensors, for the purpose of alarming and displaying any one of the abnormal conditions there are provided a logical sum circuit connected to receive abnormal signals from all abnormal condition display circuits and an alarming circuit energized by the output from the logical sum circuit for giving audible and visible alarms. Further, there are provided a delay circuit connected to receive the output of a sensor provided for the engine system and a deceleration mechanism operated by the output from the delay circuit for decreasing the speed of the engine or stopping it when an abnormal condition occurs in the engine system.
