  • Patent number: 11965948
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to derive an index value with respect to noise included in data associated with magnetic resonance signals collected by each of a plurality of reception coils, adjust a degree to which noise is removed from the data associated with the magnetic resonance signals based on the derived index value, remove noise from the data associated with the magnetic resonance signals based on the adjusted degree, and perform compositing of the data associated with the magnetic resonance signals from which noise has been removed.

  • Patent number: 5825577
    Abstract: Gain information in a read amplifier, which is recorded when data to be measured is reproduced, is stored in an AGC control memory circuit in advance. By reproducing the data using the gain information, reproduced data varied according to the amount of flotation of a magnetic head and the position of the magnetic head alone can be obtained. A variation in voltage amplitude of the reproduced data is detected by an envelope signal generating circuit and a variation in phase difference between a reading cycle in which the reproduced data is read and a reference cycle is detected by a phase difference signal generating circuit. A calculator calculates a float interval of the magnetic head and a variation in the position thereof based on these detected variations. As a result, a decision can be made as to whether the float interval of the magnetic head and the variation in the position thereof exceed an allowable range.

  • Patent number: 5333019
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjustment of the white balance of a CRT display system enabling white balance adjustment to be performed in a short time and a television receiver using the same. The white balance adjustment apparatus has a level adjustment circuit, an attenuation resistor, a video signal output circuit, a coupling capacitor, and a synchronous-signal-tip level clamp circuit and is connected to the cathode electrode. The level adjustment circuit has a variable amplifier which amplifies only the video signal component V, a synchronous signal separation circuit, a variable amplifier for causing attenuation of the horizontal synchronous signal H-SYNC, a signal addition circuit, and an AND gate. In the white balance adjustment mode, the ratio of levels of the video signal and synchronous signal is changed from the usual 0.714:0.218 to, for example, 0.714:0.005.

  • Patent number: 5214509
    Abstract: A display device testing circuit includes a false video signal generator for producing a false video signal from a blanking pulse of the display device in a state where no video signal is connected to an input terminal of the display device, so that such false video signal is supplied to the video amplifier. A false clamp pulse generating circuit produces a false clamp pulse from the blanking pulse and supplies the false clamp pulse to a pedestal clamper in the video amplifier, thereby realizing a simplified test of the video amplifier at low cost.

  • Patent number: 4660110
    Abstract: A magnetic disk storage device capable of avoiding the occurrence of vibration of magnetic disks and off-track of magnetic heads with respect to the magnetic disks, including an inner shroud enclosing a disk assembly composed of a multiplicity of magnetic disks stacked in superposed relation with spacers being interposed therebetween and formed at its outer peripheral wall with first ports for inserting access arms therethrough and at its top above a spindle supporting the disk assembly with a second port, a cylindrical filter for removing dust from air flowing through the second port of the inner shroud into the interior thereof, and a dust cover enclosing the inner shroud, actuators and filter. The provision of the inner shroud is conductive to prevention of development of turbulent air flow in the vicinity of the magnetic disks.
