Abstract: A video display monitor, such as a plasma monitor, which uses a subfield method which overlaps weighted multiple binary video images in a time base for display. The stable driving of a plasma display panel may be assured and display in the 256 grey-level may be maintained although vertical synchronizing frequency of the input video signal changes. A vertical synchronizing measurement unit measures the vertical synchronizing frequency of the video signal, and a subfield number adjustment unit adjusts the number of subfields in accordance with a measured vertical synchronizing frequency. The stable driving of the plasma display panel and display in grey levels may be assured by selecting a ROM table with an output bit width equivalent to the number of subfields to be output from multiple ROM tables used for converting the number of bits in the input signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for marking orthodontic products. The method includes the steps of coupling the orthodontic product with the anode of a power source, placing an electrolyte in electrical contact with the cathode of the power source, and selectively exposing portions of the orthodontic product to be marked to the electrolyte. The apparatus includes a hand marker connected to the cathode of a power source. A sponge pad soaked with an electrolyte is attached to the hand marker. A workplate provided for holding the orthodontic product is coupled to the anode of the power source. A stencil is also provided to enable selective portions of the orthodontic product to be exposed to the electrolyte and thereby be marked.

Abstract: The invention provides an indene compound represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 means a lower alkyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote a lower alkyl group individually or an alkylenedioxy group in combination, and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 mean individually a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or aryl group or in combination a substituted or unsubstituted piperidino, piperazinyl or homopiperazinyl group together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, with a proviso that not both R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are a methyl group at the same time.

Abstract: An indene compound of the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents a lower alkyl group, R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an aryl group or lower alkyl group, R.sub.3 represents an alkyl group, and n indicates an integer of 2 or 3; or a salt thereof. The compound has very strong ameliorating or improving effects on cerebral circulation and metabolism, and thus is very useful for ameliorating, or suppressing the progress of, disturbances of brain tissues and functions.
