Abstract: The improved apparatus for detecting anions in water comprises an electrical continuous ion-exchange unit comprising an anode compartment 1 and a cathode compartment 2 which are spaced apart by an alkali removing compartment 4 packed with a cation exchanger defined by two cation-exchange membranes 3, each of said anode compartment 1, cathode compartment 2 and alkali removing compartment 4 being provided with a passageway through which water is admitted and a passageway through which the treated water is discharged, and the passageway 11 through which the treated water is discharged from the alkali removing compartment 4 is equipped with an instrument 5 for measuring the specific resistance or electrical conductivity of said treated water. The alkali removing compartment 4 may be replaced by one or more cation-exchange membranes or a treatment compartment defined by two or more cation-exchange membranes, and the passageway through which the treated water is discharged from the anode compartment is equipped with an instrument for measuring the specific resistance or electrical conductivity of the treated water. The apparatus does not require replacement of ion-exchange resins, achieves correct measurements with a simple operation and yet functions as an inexpensive salt detector.

Abstract: A local information extracting portion (11) extracts a plurality of ridge line candidate images for each of local regions into which an image has been divided. A first ridge line candidate image selecting portion (12) selects a first ridge line candidate image that has high likelihood of a ridge line for each local region. A connectivity evaluating portion (13) evaluates the connectivity of first ridge line candidate images between each local region. A clustering portion (14) clusters local regions corresponding to the evaluated result of the connectivity evaluating portion (13) and generates a local region group. A cluster evaluating portion (15) determines an initial local region group that is a local region group having high likelihood of a ridge line. A ridge line image restoring portion (16) outputs a first ridge line candidate image for each local region that is included in the initial local region group. In addition, the ridge line image restoring portion (16) outputs an optimum ridge line candidate image for each local region that is not included in the initial local region group as the extracted result of a ridge line. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital signal multiplexing apparatus is provided which
can multiplex service data having a plurality of different
bit rates and change the bit rate even during signal
transmission. A controller generates multiplex
configuration information indicating how service data is
multiplexed, in accordance with instructions, and generates
commands whose contents match the multiplex configuration
information. The generated multiplex configuration
information is written in a memory circuit, and the
generated command is converted by a CPU into a control
signal for encoders. The multiplex configuration
information read from the memory circuit is encoded by a
convolution encoder into a predetermined format. A
plurality of service data sets are encoded by convolution
encoders into predetermined formats in accordance with
control signals converted by CPU, and multiplexed by a
multiplexer circuit. The data encoded by the convolution
encoder and the data multiplexed by the multiplexer circuit
are further multiplexed by another multiplexer circuit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently generating multiple
integer quotients of integer numerators divided by a common integer
denominator are implemented by multiplying a floating point
approximation of the reciprocal of the integer denominator by floating
point representations of the numerators, biasing the floating point
quotients before rounding up (158), or down (156) as required. First, an
initial approximation of the reciprocal of the denominator is computed
(102) by squaring (114) a limited precision square root of the
reciprocal (112). A final reciprocal is computed using a finite power
series (104). Finally, modified numerators are formed (106) by biasing
the original numerators, products of the modified numerators
multiplied times the reciprocal are computed, and the products are
rounded up or down as required (108).
