  • Patent number: 6304289
    Abstract: An underwater laser television, which radiates laser pulses, output from a laser oscillator, to a visualized object under water and detects reflection light of the laser pulses to display an image of the visualized object, is constructed by a main body which is located under water to have a capability of free movement and to resist against the water pressure and which provides a light transmission portion for transmitting the laser pulses and reflection light, the laser oscillator arranged inside of the main body, radiation and light receiving means, arranged in the main body, which radiates the laser pulses toward the visualized object and detects the reflection light to produce video signals of the visualized object, and display means, arranged in the main body, which displays an image of the visualized object based on the video signals.

  • Patent number: 6115511
    Abstract: A simulation method for imaging of an underwater object is performed by simulating the object with a test panel having several strips of different brightness, and irradiating the test panel with a pulsed laser beam having three primary colors. From the reflected beam pulses, contrast values of the test stripes are computed for reflected pulses of each color in relation to the turbidity and visibility distance. The method may be used in conjunction with an imaging apparatus having a laser generation device which produces three primary colors of three different wavelengths; a laser beam detection device to receive the reflected beam pulses of respective primary colors, to determine intensities of the reflected beam pulses of respective primary colors, and to output three primary color signals to an image monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 6110406
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a molding material, which comprises melt-extruding a styrenic polymer essentially having a syndiotactic structure or a composition containing the polymer to give strands, then rapidly cooling the resulting strands to thereby make the surface temperature of the strands not higher than the melting point of the styrenic polymer or the composition containing the polymer, and thereafter gradually cooling them to thereby make the surface temperature of the strands not higher than a temperature higher by 20.degree. C. than their glass transition temperature, and finally pelletizing the strands into pellets. The pellets produced have a high degree of crystallinity and can be well molded into good moldings.

  • Patent number: 4896258
    Abstract: A data processor for execution of tagged data and tagless data has a decoder for discriminating whether the data is tagged or tagless one and in case of a tagged data, separates a tag part and uses the remaining part for address computation. The data processor also comprises a unit for evaluating the tag part and a micro program controller for multi-branching in accordance with the evaluation result of the tag part. The tag evaluating unit includes an extender eliminating part for extracting the tag part from data on a data bus, a plurality of tag part storing registers for storing the tag part from the eliminating part under the control of the micro program controller, and a tag multi-way jump encoder for generating a tag multi-way jump address to feed it to the controller on the basis of the outputs of the registers and a signal from the micro program controller, thereby enabling tag multi-way jump.
