Title: Objective lens with focus detecting device
Inventor: NAKAMURA HIROSHI
IPC: G02B7/09
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: The taking lens (12) comprises a picture-taking optical system (12A), which allows
object light to enter an image-capturing element (22A) for picture-taking of a camera (10), and
a focus determination optical system (12B), which splits the object light and allows the split
light to enter a focus status determination image-capturing element (A, B, C). The taking
lens (12) includes a picture-taking optical length adjusting device (12C), which adjusts an
optical length of the picture-taking optical system (12A), and a focus determination optical
length adjusting device (12D), which adjusts an optical length of the focus determination
optical system (12B). It is hence possible to adjust the respective optical lengths separately
and facilitates adjustments at the time of shipment.

IPC: H03M3/02

Abstract: A D/A converter (8) includes a Δ Σmodulator (9) applying
Delta-Sigma modulation to a digital signal S1 in order to generate
a code sequence S2, and first and second post-filters (10,11) as
a first-order analog low-pass filter, respectively, which is
connected in cascade to the subsequent stage of the modulator (9),
in which low-pass filtering on the code sequence S2 is executed
so as to output an analog signal Sout. The post-filter (10) is set
to have a cutoff frequency fcb which falls in the frequency range
from fca to fHa, where the fca is a cutoff frequecy of the post-filter
(11) and the fHa is a maximum frequency thereof. Since the respective
attenuation characteristics of post-filters (10 and 11) are
synthesized, an overall attenuation characteristic Gab between
the both filters is able to have the characteristics of a desired
second-order filter. The synthesized attenuation characteristic
Gab allows the D/A converter to simultaneously execute processing
such as de-emphasis in the frequency range between the both cutoff
frequency fca and fcb, and elimination of high-frequency noises
over the frequency range of the cutoff frequency fcb. As a result,
the D/A converter with a small circuit scale can be provided.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de production de frites congelées. Ce procédé consiste à : peler une pomme de terre, couper la pomme de terre en tronçons, blanchir les tronçons pendant un temps équivalent à 60-95 % du temps de désintégration, sécher les tronçons de façon à diminuer le contenu d'humidité de 10 % à 20 % en poids, faire frire les tronçons entre 130° et 160° de 20 à 30 secondes, et congeler les tronçons. Le procédé produit en outre un effet de rétrécissement de la couche de surface des cellules de pommes de terres, de façon à créer une sorte de « peau tannée » qui rend la couche de surface moins susceptible d'absorber la graisse lors de l'étape de friture. De plus, étant donné que le blanchiment est optimum, l'étape de friture peut être sensiblement raccourcie, ce qui réduit la possibilité d'absorption de graisse tout en permettant à un traiteur de mieux satisfaire la demande de frites cuites à la minute plutôt que de les cuire à l'avance par anticipation à la demande.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bonding structure between a nozzle body of a continuous casting nozzle and
a refractory sleeve inserted into the nozzle body, wherein the refractory sleeve contains 20
mass% or more of CaO. An adhesive including a mixture of a refractory aggregate and a
binder is applied to a joint zone defined in either one of at least a portion of the outer peripheral
surface of the refractory sleeve and at least a portion of the inner surface of the hollowed nozzle
to which the refractory sleeve is attached, or between the inner surface of the nozzle body and
the outer peripheral surface of the refractory sleeve inserted into the nozzle body. The
adhesive is adjusted to have a porosity in the range of 15 to 90% after dried in the joint zone.
The bonding structure has a function of relaxing a thermal stress due to exponential expansion
of the refractory sleeve caused by molten steel flowing into an inner hole of the nozzle during
use, so as to prevent the detachment of the refractory sleeve and adverse affects on the nozzle
body due to thermal expansion of the refractory sleeve.
