  • Publication number: 20110187371
    Abstract: A transmit-receive switching circuit is offered which is for use in an NMR spectrometer that employs a solid-state NMR probe using a cooled detection coil. The switching circuit is cryogenically cooled to reduce thermal noise in use. The switching circuit has a first terminal for applying high-power RF pulses sent in from the power amplifier of the NMR spectrometer, a second terminal for sending the RF pulses applied from the first terminal to the NMR detector via crossed-diodes and for receiving and entering a low-power NMR signal detected by the NMR detector, and a third terminal for sending the NMR signal entered from the second terminal toward a preamplifier. Plural stages of shunts are connected to the transmission line connecting the second and third terminals such that one stage of shunt corresponds to a 90° phase shift in the RF radiation.

  • Publication number: 20110103696
    Abstract: The present invention enables image distribution while maintaining privacy, using a simple configuration. An image distribution apparatus which distributes image data to which location information has been added stores information specifying an inhibited area concerning the location information and determines whether or not a location indicated by the location information added to the image data to be distributed falls within the stored inhibited area. If it is determined that the location indicated by the location information falls within the inhibited area, the image distribution apparatus distributes the image data by deleting the location information from the image data to be distributed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the location indicated by the location information falls outside the inhibited area, the image distribution apparatus distributes the image data with the location information added.

  • Publication number: 20110052742
    Abstract: There is provided a mold clamping apparatus that can prevent a molding material from spouting from a split surface of a mold even if in-cavity resin pressure causes offset of a mold opening force, and can extend the life of the mold. The mold clamping apparatus includes a control device that estimates a mold opening force by mold internal pressure for molding with mold internal pressure being asymmetrical with respect to a center of a mold block, determines a mold clamping hydraulic value applied to each time bar correspondingly to the estimated mold opening force, and distributes hydraulic pressure supplied to each tie bar so that the determined mold clamping hydraulic value is reached.

  • Publication number: 20100321018
    Abstract: A high-resolution NMR probe is offered which is simple in structure and can be fabricated at low cost. The inside of the probe is maintained in a vacuum to adiabatically isolate the inside from the outside. Liquid helium is sent into a first heat exchanger located immediately close to a measurement portion via the innermost region of a triple tube placed in the vacuum. The helium is evaporated in the exchanger to cool a transmit-receive coil and a variable capacitor. The evaporated helium gas is returned via the outermost region of the triple tube. At this time, a radiation shield placed in the vacuum is cooled by a second heat exchanger placed in the return path.

  • Patent number: 7848625
    Abstract: An imaging system is provided that is capable of controlling a photographic operation to provide favorable images of a fundus of an eye to be examined. When a normal photographic mode is selected, a single operation of a shutter button causes a single trigger signal to be generated. On the other hand, when a stereo photographic mode is selected, a single operation of a shutter button causes two trigger signals to be generated in succession. The generated trigger signal triggers a switching device so that a position of a photographic stop is automatically switched to a position predetermined for the photographic mode, and the photographic light source is caused to emit light a number of times that corresponds to the selected photographic mode. In such a configuration, fundus images are automatically produced a set number of times by a single operation of the shutter. Therefore, a high-quality fundus image can be obtained without concerns that an appropriate moment to capture an image will be missed.

  • Publication number: 20100289920
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus and a control method therefor provide privacy protection by obtaining the current location of the image capturing apparatus and determining whether or not the current location is within a preset location information addition-inhibited area. If the image capturing apparatus is within a location information addition-inhibited area, the image capturing apparatus and control method therefor do not add location information to captured image data.

  • Publication number: 20100146282
    Abstract: Regularity information such as time codes embedded preliminarily through an electronic watermark is detected from a predetermined number of pieces of continuous frame data of video content through the electronic watermark. In the case where the electronic watermark is not detected from the predetermined number of pieces of continuous frame data, a non-detection count is calculated, and falsification of the predetermined number of pieces of frame data is determined on the basis of the detected regularity information and the non-detection count. Accordingly, falsification such as deletion, addition, and replacement of video content is detected with high accuracy using the electronic watermark.

  • Publication number: 20100053316
    Abstract: There is provided a photographic stop unit (80) comprising a fixed stop plate (31), a movable stop plate (32), and shield plates (33, 33?). A plurality of apertures (32a, 32d, 32d?) is formed in the movable stop plate (32). In monocular photography, the movable stop plate moves downward, a center stop (31a) of the fixed stop plate opens, and monocular photography of the ocular fundus is performed. In stereo-photography, the movable stop plate moves upward, the center stop (31a) is closed, the shield plates (33, 33?) move to the open position or the closed position in this state, the apertures (32d, 32d?) for stereo-photography are alternately opened, and stereo-photography of the ocular fundus is carried out. In such a configuration, monocular photography and stereo-photography can be carried out at high speed in a simple configuration because the apertures of the photographic stop can be switched at high speed.
