Abstract: A motion picture moving on a display screen 21 of a display device 2 to be evaluated is captured a plurality of times by means of a galvano camera 3a. The captured data include locations of the moving picture in the moving direction on the display device 2 to be evaluated and data on luminance of the display device at the respective time points of the locations. Based on these data, a motion picture eye-tracking simulation is performed, where an integration along the eye tracking direction over an integral multiple of 1 frame time is performed to obtain a motion picture response curve of the display device 2 to be evaluated. Evaluations of motion picture characteristics and motion picture blur can be made based on the motion picture response curve.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for keeping a structure such as a vessel, at least part of which is submerged, from being adhered to by aquatic organisms. In the method, the submerged part of the structure is covered up with a specific non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric preferably has such a METSUKE value that each of the gaps between the fibers has an area of 1-60 mm2, wherein the “METSUKE” means the weight of the fibers for one square meter of the non-woven fabric. The fabric typically has less than 1 mm thick.

Abstract: Disclosed is a demodulating apparatus for preventing a reduction in reliability of demodulated data even if a signal point of a multi-level QAM signal is detected, because of influence from fading or noises, in a position where such a signal is not normally existent. To this end, a modulated signal modulated by a multi-level QAM modulation system is orthogonally detected, and analog signals of I and Q channels placed in an orthogonal relationship with each other are outputted. By an identification device, the analog demodulated signals are digitized and then outputted as digital demodulated signals of I and Q channels. If a signal point outside a normal signal point arrangement is detected among the outputs, a digital demodulated signal within a normal signal point arrangement is substituted for the detected signal and then original code data is reproduced.

Abstract: The present invention aims at providing an alimentative infusion liquid which has improved stability and preservability and can be administered through a peripheral vein. The infusion liquid contains sugars, amino acids, electrolytes and a fat emulsion at a specific mixing ratio and has a specific pH value and a titratable acidity. The alimentative infusion liquid of the present invention containing the above-described components has good preservability without suffering from precipitation, denaturation and the like problems. Further, since the pH value is adjusted to a specific level and the titratable acidity is retained low, administration of the infusion liquid through a peripheral vein does not cause troubles such as angialiga.

Abstract: An intake manifold positioned between two banks of a V-shaped engine has a structure in which a body section and a connecting section coupled to each other with a plate-like mounting stay interposed therebetween. A support leg integrally formed on the mounting stay is fixed by a bolt to injector bases coupled to cylinder heads of the engine E. Thus, it is possible to firmly support the intake manifold by means of the mounting stay and moreover, to eliminate the need for a special fixing device for fixing the mounting stay to the intake manifold, thereby leading to a reduced number of parts.

Abstract: A clip holder for holding a portable receiver having a front panel, back panel, sides, and a display on the front panel. The clip holder has two members, a receiver holder and a clip plate. The receiver holder and clip plate are attached to opposite ends of a pivot disposed within a cam. The clip plate and receiver holder may be maintained in any position about the pivot because the cam is friction engaged with the receiver holder in all positions. The receiver is engaged to an outer surface of the receiver holder. The clip holder may be attached to a user's belt or waist garment when the belt or garment is located between the clip plate and receiver holder. The clip holder is secured to the user's waist when the receiver holder is fully rotated toward the clip plate so the clip plate and receiver are in a substantially parallel orientation.

Abstract: A retrieving key representing position information is used to retrieve image information containing the retrieving key information at a high speed and high precision. First a retrieving key is inputted to display retrieval information. The retrieving key is used to retrieve an image having a large size relative to a geometric distortion error, and the longitude/latitude conversion coefficients of the retrieved image are corrected. By using the corrected longitude/latitude conversion coefficients, an image having a small size relative to the geometric distortion error is retrieved, and the retrieved image is subject to distortion correction and image magnification.
