  • Patent number: 10775832
    Abstract: A clock determination apparatus includes a signal wire and a clock determiner. A clock signal is input to the signal wire. A period made up of cycles corresponding to a predetermined number of cycles of the clock signal is referred to as a unit period. The clock determiner includes circuitry configured to perform determination processing whether the clock signal is a random clock signal including a cycle changing substantially irregularly as time proceeds or a regular clock signal including substantially a constant cycle based on a comparison between waveforms of the clock signals in a plurality of unit periods.

  • Patent number: 6206284
    Abstract: An automated bank teller machine (ATM) is provided which is characteristically easy to configure, regardless of whether a replenish-from-the-front (RFTF) configuration or a replenish-from-the-rear (RFTR) configuration is chosen. In particular, the ATM according to the present invention includes a security chest module, a top module, and an interface module. These components are common to both configurations can be built and stored in advance, and can be thereafter configured as desired. In another embodiment, an ATM is provided that permits more than one customer to use the ATM at the same time.

  • Patent number: 5902489
    Abstract: A chamber for exerting an ultrasound beam on a sample solution containing particles to be concentrated, separated or arranged is provided with a view toward arbitrarily controlling the shape of a spatial distribution of potential energy created by the ultrasound beam and concentrating, separating or periodically arranging the particles. In contrast to the chamber, irradiation ultrasound sources for generating ultrasound beams are provided to create an ultrasonic intensity distribution for producing a position potential energy distribution used to exert a force forwarded in a predetermined direction or a force staying at a predetermined region to each particle. Thus, a specific spatial distribution of potential energy can be realized by ultrasound beams each having a specific intensity, a specific frequency and a specific phase or an ultrasound beam formed by superimposing these on one another.

  • Patent number: 5707875
    Abstract: Using a mixed sample of a plurality of phosphoric acid compounds different in chemical structure as a sample for measurement, a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal obtained through polarization transfer between .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P is observed and signals obtained without polarization transfer are eliminated, whereby .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal spectrum of an .sup.17 O-labeled phosphoric acid is selectively observed. For this purpose, a double resonance NMR detector capable of exciting .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P at the same time is connected to an NMR spectrometer, and using a pulse train which permits observation of a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal obtained through polarization transfer between .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P, a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the .sup.17 O-labeled phosphoric acid is observed, and signals for .sup.17 O-unlabeled .sup.31 P are eliminated.

  • Patent number: 5356599
    Abstract: A continuous powder catalyst supply apparatus and a catalyst supply system that is suitable for olefin gas phase polymerization. The supply apparatus comprises a catalyst storage chamber having a catalyst inlet port and a catalyst supply port for transmitting the catalyst to the reactor. Inside the catalyst storage chamber is a catalyst supply mechanism which substantially continuously supplies the catalyst to the catalyst supply port, and a forcible discharge mechanism which forcibly discharges the catalyst, supplied from the catalyst supply mechanism, through the catalyst supply port with a pressurized gas. The apparatus can be used to supply the catalyst to the reactor with low amounts of pressurized gas. Further, the system can be configured so as to avoid contamination of stored catalyst by reactant gas.
