The composite valve includes: stop valves opening/closing communication between the hydraulic power supplier and the stack valve and stop valves opening/closing communication between the stack valve and the multifunction valve; and bypass circuits respectively including stop valves opening/closing communication between the hydraulic power supplier and the multifunction valve, the bypass circuits provided closer to the hydraulic power supplier than the stop valves. This structure makes it possible to simultaneously perform various functions: repair, checking, and/or maintenance on the stack valve; flushing; and repair, checking, maintenance, and/or a trial run of the hydraulic device. The composite valve has uniform circuit configurations, which facilitates production of the valve.

Abstract: In a method of fastening composite material parts, a first smoothness of a first fastener is measured which is arranged to a first countersink through-hole which is formed in a first fastened work as stacked composite material parts. A second countersink depth is determined based on the first smoothness. A second countersink through hole with a second countersink depth is formed in a second fastened work as the composite material parts. The second fastened work is fastened using the second fastener arranged to the second countersink through-hole.

A register value of a register of the multiple registers corresponding to a given one of the multiple arithmetic processing sections is changed if program execution by the given one of the multiple arithmetic processing sections reaches a predetermined location in a program, and priorities of the arithmetic processing sections are dynamically determined in response to register values of the registers.

Abstract: According to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of the present invention, even when the received signal indicating the ultrasonic echo from the artifact is weak such as when the artifact such as the puncture needle is positioned diagonally to the ultrasonic beam, the received signal can be subjected to the signal processing to identify the position of the artifact and provide high visibility of the artifact to an examiner. Thus, from whichever direction the puncture needle is inserted into the body, the position of the puncture needle can be properly recognized.
