Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for amplifying an electronic signal generated by collision of particles with an electron emitting surface. 
     SOLUTION: A device includes: a first electron emission surface configured to receive input particles and thereby emit one or more secondary electrons; a series of second electron emission surfaces and subsequent electron emission surfaces configured to form an amplified electron signal from one or more secondary electrons emitted by the first electron emission surface; and one or more power supplies configured to apply a bias voltage sufficient to form the electronic signal to be amplified to one or more emission planes. The device is configured such that electron emission surfaces at the end of the series of second electron emission surfaces and subsequent electron emission surfaces draw a current higher than the current of the remaining electron emission surfaces. The device may be used, for example, as part of a detector in a large-scale spectrometer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic musical instrument, a method and a program for appropriately controlling lyric progression for performance. 
     SOLUTION: A control system 200 of an electronic musical instrument is equipped with a plurality of first performance operators each of which is associated with different pitch data, and a pedal. When a first user operation to a first performance operator is detected while no operation to the pedal is detected, and a second user operation is detected after the first user operation, as well as an instruction is issued to pronounce with a singing voice according to a first lyric corresponding to a first note in response to the first user operation, an instruction is issued to pronounce with a singing voice according to a second lyric corresponding to a second note following the first note in response to the second user operation. When the first user operation to the first performance operator is detected while the operation to the pedal is detected, and the second user operation is detected after the first user operation, as well as an instruction is issued to pronounce with a singing voice according to the first lyric in response to the first user operation, no instruction is issued to the pronounce with a singing voice according to the second lyric in response to the second user operation.
