  • Patent number: 7810340
    Abstract: To provide a quick freezing apparatus and method making it possible to prevent a subtle reaction between an object-to-be-preserved and a gas inside its freezing store to prevent deformation and deterioration of the object-to-be-preserved as much as possible and freeze-preserve the object maintaining its freshness and quality at a high standard for a long term, and thereby applicable to a long-term preservation of a living tissue. A quick freezing apparatus includes a freezing store 11 including a door for bringing in or taking out an object-to-be-frozen 3, a freezer 17 capable of lowering a temperature inside the freezing store to a temperature equal to or less than approximately ?30 degrees C., a pressure regulator 60 capable of adjusting a gas pressure inside the freezing store, and a ventilator 31 for sending cold air at a wind velocity of 1 to 5 m/sec toward the object-to-be-frozen placed inside the freezing store.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4811092
    Abstract: A movement detector necessary for processing composite color television signals, which detects movement in image signals, wherein the detecting circuit is so constructed that no deficient motion is produced. A difference signal between the present frame and that preceding by two frames of the television signals is converted into a motion information signal and a movement detection signal is made by integrating the signal obtained by the conversion with respect to temporal axis.

  • Patent number: 4739390
    Abstract: A television signal processing circuit which separates a television signal into a luminance signal and a chrominance signal or interpolates the scanning lines of the television signal by using a video memory such as a frame memory or a field memory. The circuit determines whether the television signal to be treated is a standard television signal or a non-standard television signal. Depending upon this determination, the signal processing circuit changes its operation mode so that it operates properly even in case the television signal is different from the standard television signal and contains jitter in the time axis like the signal from a VTR. When the television signal is a non-standard television signal, the processing circuit without the video memory operates.

  • Patent number: 4729031
    Abstract: In a video projector for projecting a video picture displayed on a Braun tube, the space between the Braun tube and a lens is filled with a medium having a refractive index substantially equal to those of both the glass faceplate of the braun tube and the material of the lens, and the medium is a silicon resin of the mixture of two liquids which is in liquid phase just after the mixing of two or three or above liquids but cured after lapse of a certain time into a gel state, and the lens is supported by a lens holder so that it can be moved freely along the optical axis within the lens holder.
