Patent number: 5048391Abstract: A vibration of a string is picked up by a pickup to be converted to an electric signal. A pitch extracting circuit obtains pitch data expressing a pitch or a duration of the string vibration from the electric signal. A musical tone generating circuit generates a musical tone having a corresponding tone pitch in accordance with the pitch data. An envelope extracting circuit extracts an envelope from the electric signal detected by the pickup and supplies a signal expressing the envelope to a multiplier. Furthermore, a signal expressing the musical tone is supplied to the multiplier to be multiplied by the signal expressing the envelope. Thus a musical tone having a controlled envelope determined by the extracted envelope is generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1989Date of Patent: September 17, 1991Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeru Uchiyama, Katsuhiko Obata

Patent number: 5047846Abstract: The present invention relates to an equipment for analyzing the Ca.sup.2+ concentration in the cardiomyocytes, wherein a fluorescent reagent is loaded into the cells to cause intracellular carboxyl groups to be coupled with Ca.sup.2+. The cells are subjected to pulse-excited lights of differing in wavelengths during a vertical blanking period following a predetermined period of time after application of the stimulative signal. The signal causes the cells to generate fluorescent images varying in fluorescence intensity due to the difference in the wavelength of the pulse-excited lights. The resultant images generated are captured by a high-sensitivity television camera and displayed on a video monitor. A plural number of image data are obtained by varying the timing of the stimulating signal with the images stored in image memory.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1990Date of Patent: September 10, 1991Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Shigeru Uchiyama, Hideji Fujiwake, Iwayo Nakagawa, Masahiko Hirano, Yoshinori Mizuguchi, Hideshi Oishi, Norikazu Sugiyama

Input apparatus of electronic system for extracting pitch data from compressed input waveform signal
Patent number: 5018427Abstract: An input waveform signal is first converted into a compressed waveform signal by log-conversion. The compressed waveform signal is then converted into a digital compressed waveform signal so that a pitch of the input waveform signal is extracted from the digital compressed waveform signal. Note-on/off states of a musical tone to be produced are controlled in accordance with the level of the digital compressed waveform signal and a predetermined threshold. The attenuation period of the input waveform signal and, thus, the note-on time, can therefore be prolonged to correspond more closely with the actual playing of an instrument from which the input waveform signal is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1989Date of Patent: May 28, 1991Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeru Uchiyama -
Patent number: 4911053Abstract: A string member and a string trigger switch mechanism associated with the string member are arranged on an instrument main body. The string member is extended on the instrument main body at a given tension. When the string member is deviated against the tension upon a string displace operation and is then released from its state of tension, a string trigger switch starts a switching operation. While the string member is displaced from its state of rest, the string trigger switch does not start a switching operation. The string trigger switch outputs a tone generation start instruction signal based on the switching operation, and this signal causes a musical tone generating apparatus to start generation of a musical tone. When the string member is plucked while depressing a pitch designating section arranged on the instrument main body, a musical tone at a selectively designated pitch is generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1987Date of Patent: March 27, 1990Assignee: Casio ComputerInventors: Yukio Kashio, Shigeru Uchiyama, Yoshiyuki Murata

Patent number: 4841827Abstract: An input waveform signal is converted into a digital peak value signal by an A/D converter, and the digital peak value signal is input to one input terminal A of a comparator. The other input terminal B of the comparator receives a preset digital peak value signal from a memory. These input signals are compared by the comparator. The content of the memory is reduced at a predetermined rate. If the comparator detects that the currently input waveform level is larger than the continuously reduced level of the memory, i.e., if A>B, a new waveform level is loaded in the memory. As a result, the output from the comparator is inverted. That is, condition A>B is changed into condition A<B. The timing of this change in condition serves as a peak timing of the input waveform signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1988Date of Patent: June 27, 1989Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeru Uchiyama
