Abstract: A particle beam therapy apparatus has a position and posture setter that moves a movable body, that is at least one of the irradiation nozzle and the treatment table. A movement path of the movable body is determined when adapting the positional posture of the movable body from one condition among a plurality of prescribed conditions to another condition. An evaluation value is obtained for adapting the positional posture of the movable body to each of a plurality of prescribed conditions. This evaluation value is for a case of moving the movable body according to the movement path. A setting order is determined for adapting the positional posture of the movable body to each prescribed condition based on the evaluation value; and the positional posture of the movable body is adapted to each of the plurality of prescribed conditions by moving the movable body according to the determined movement path.

Abstract: An optical disc apparatus has a demodulation circuit performing an FSK demodulation by being provided with a binary signal which is obtained by binarizing a signal reproduced from an optical disc on which an FSK modulation signal is previously recorded. An edge interval of the binary signal is measured. An FSK modulation component is obtained from a difference between a measured edge interval value and a previously determined edge interval reference value. A demodulation value is obtained based on a moving average of the FSK modulation component. A moving average of the demodulation value is compared with a reference value so as to obtain a binary FSK demodulation signal. Additionally, the optical disc apparatus includes a decode circuit for decoding binary data from a biphase code signal which is reproduced from an optical disc and to be inverted at an end of each bit.

Abstract: A speed error detecting portion detects a speed error which is a frequency difference between a reproduced clock signal which is reproduced from a recording medium and a reference clock signal. A first phase error detecting portion detects a phase error which is a phase difference between the reproduced clock signal and the reference clock signal. A servo signal generating portion generates a servo signal which is used for eliminating the speed error and phase error. A second phase error detecting portion detects a phase error which is a phase difference between a reproduced synchronization signal reproduced from the recording medium separately from the reproduced clock signal and a reference synchronization signal. A reference phase changing portion changes the phase of the reference clock signal based on the phase error detected by the second phase error detecting portion.
