Abstract: In a high temperature/high pressure vessel for treating a workpiece placed in the interior of the vessel at a high temperature and a high pressure wherein piano wire is wound under tension round an outer periphery of a cylindrical body to apply a compressive residual stress to the cylindrical body and axial openings of the cylindrical body are tightly closed with upper and lower lids so that the lids can be disengaged from the openings, the cylindrical body is constituted as a two-layer cylindrical body comprising an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder which is fitted on the inner cylinder through plural spacers arranged along an outer periphery surface of the inner cylinder, allowing cooling water flow paths to be formed each between adjacent such spacers so as to extend from one end side to an opposite end side of the tow-layer cylindrical body.

Abstract: The apparatus of the invention is an injection molding apparatus of a type adapted to cool a molten metal under shearing by an extrusion screw in a substantially vertical chamber into a semi-solidified slurry and then inject the semi-solidified slurry discharged from a discharge port at the lower end of a channel into molding plates, in which a clamping device is adapted to open or close a movable plate relative to a stationary plate in the horizontal direction, and a connection member having, at the inside, a vertical first channel and a second channel extending in the horizontal direction from the lower end of the first channel and in communication with the stationary plate is connected to the discharge port at the lower end of the chamber. Since this can inject and mold light metal molding products of high quality with less pore or shrinkage without excessively enlarging the size for the height of the apparatus, casting products of high quality can be obtained at a reduced cost by injection molding.

Abstract: Cavitation is reduced in a rotary pump while the pump performance is maintained by utilizing a low-temperature fluid source already present in the pump system. The fluid from the low-temperature fluid source receives heat from the fluid flowing to the pump, thereby lowering its temperature and the saturated vapor pressure, which increases the allowable margin for a decrease in fluid pressure and reduces the occurrence of cavitation. The pump system may be used for a liquid rocket engine. The fluid velocity of the fluid directed to the pump is low before releasing heat, so there is only a slight pressure loss at the pump. Accordingly, the temperature is lowered and the occurrence of cavitation is reduced within the pump.

Abstract: A core substrate (B) for being used in producing a multilayer circuit board in a manner that a plurality of unit circuit boards are laid on the upper and lower surfaces of the core substrate comprises two insulation layers (10A, 10B) laid with a conductor land part (11A) between. The insulation layers have a pair of laser-machined holes (12A, 12B) above and below the conductor land part, each extending from the surface of the insulation layer up to the conductor land part. The pair of laser-machined holes are filled with an electroplating material to form a pair of columnar conductors (13A, 13B) electrically connected through the conductor land part. Since all layers can be interconnected through a series structure formed of an electro copper plating material, the core substrate is useful for producing a multilayer circuit board in which low resistance and fine patterning can be realized.

Abstract: Video signals input to a hybrid recorder are output to the main unit of a computer as video signals. The hybrid recorder records the video signals in a built-in hard disk, and also replays the signals from the hard disk, the signals being output to a picture effects device as video signals. The picture effects device applies certain effects to the video signals, which are then output to the main unit as video signals. The main unit displays the image of the video signals and the image of the video signals on a monitor. Thus, editing can be performed easily and speedily, while adding effects.

Abstract: The occurrence of cavitation is reduced in a rotary pump while the pump performance is maintained. A low-temperature source present in the pump system is utilized, and heat exchange with the fluid flowing to the pump is performed with this low-temperature source, thereby lowering the temperature of the fluid flowing into the pump and lowering the saturated vapor pressure of this fluid, which increases the allowable margin for a decrease in the pressure of the fluid and reduces the occurrence of cavitation. In the case of a liquid rocket engine, a coolant or another propellant B whose temperature is lower than that of the primary propellant A can be employed as this low-temperature source. The propellant B is passed through a heat exchanger 2 by a pump 4, which results in heat exchange with the propellant A from a tank 3, and lowers the fluid temperature. Since the fluid velocity of the propellant A is low at the time of this inflow, there is only slight pressure loss inside the heat exchanger 2.

Abstract: An editing system having a controller for setting reproducing speed on the basis of reproducing speed data inputted via a user interface to a desired event allows e.g., slow-playback to be set to the desired event and so further realistic image can be easily generated. Thus, an editing system capable of high-speed real-time edition and having further improved usability can be realized. Moreover, when an in point of first video data (V2) is specified, the editing system starts a reproducing operation from a position that is a fixed time before the position of the specified in point and displays thus reproduced second video data (V3) on a display (2b), so that if the specification of the in point is late, the in point can be easily corrected by monitoring the reproducing second video data. As a result, an editing system capable of high-speed real-time edition and having further improved usability can be realized.

Abstract: With music data made up of four instrument/vocal parts of, e.g., a piano, base, drums, and vocals, project data handled by a management center is configured of tracks with each part existing independently. Tracks 1 through 4 each have independent copyright information, which is to say that even in the event that the tracks 1 through 4 are each created by different creators, copyright information is recorded to each of the tracks 1 through 4, and even in the event that a track for a new part is added to the project data for example, thereby generating different project data, the copyright information on each track is not deleted. Thus, music data made up of multiple tracks having copyright information on each track can be distributed.

Abstract: In a recording support mode, states of an HD device and a VTR are detected, and if the two are normal, video signals are recorded in both. The signal recorded in the HD device can be reproduced almost simultaneously with the recording upon request. Where either device is abnormal, the video signal is recorded in the normal device. In the reproduction support mode, the reproduction position of the HD device is detected, the VTR video tape is brought to that position, it is checked whether or not the video signal the same as the video signal which has been reproduced by the HD device is recorded based on the time code of the video signal recorded at that position, and the reproduction of the same video signal is carried out simultaneously with the HD device. Thereafter, where an abnormality occurs in the HD device, a third switch is changed over so that the video signal reproduced at the VTR is output.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for industrially freezing (or cooling) food or the like under pressure. The method consists of isostatically exerting pressure on the material such as food (14) and the frozen body (15) composed mainly of water through the pressure medium (12) contained in the pressure vessel (1), thereby cooling the material (14). When the temperature of the material (14) decreases below 0.degree.C. at which freezing does not take place under pressure, the pressure is released rapidly so that fine ice crystals are formed in the material (14).
