Abstract: An apparatus for the measurement of the torque of a rotating component (12)
comprises two plane, reflective surfaces (10,11) arranged axially spaced apart on the
circumferential surface of the component (12), and a beam splitter that directs a light
beam to each of the reflective surfaces (10,11). The light beams reflected by the
surfaces (10,11) on the component (12) are detected by a single sensing area of an
optical receiver (5) that is connected to a computer (21). A computer (21) determines
a time delay between the signals reflected by the two surfaces (10,11) and calculates
the torque corresponding to the time delay. The apparatus yields a high accuracy
measurement that is insensitive to translational shifts of the component such as
vibrations. The accuracy of the measurement is increased by a rotational offset
between the two reflective surfaces (10, 11).

Abstract: An image is readily changed in accordance with a user's
viewpoint. Original image data of an object, captured with
arbitrary points on a curved surface Ω as viewpoints, is
stored. Considering a straight line L i  connecting a
viewpoint P and a point R i  on the object, an intersection of
the straight line L i  and the curved surface Ω will be
denoted as Q i . When the object is viewed from the viewpoint
P, a pixel value corresponding to a light ray directed from
the point R i  on the object to the viewpoint P coincides with
a pixel value corresponding to a light ray directed from the
point R i  on the object to the point Q i  on the curved surface
Ω, and this pixel value corresponding to the light ray
directed from the point R i  to the point Q i  exists in the
original image data. That is, the pixel value for the point
R i  on the object as viewed from the viewpoint P can be
obtained from original image data captured with the point Q i 
on the curved surface Ω as a viewpoint. The present
invention can be applied, for example, to an image
processing apparatus for obtaining an image in accordance
with a user's viewpoint.

Abstract: The present invention provides a genetic engineering
material for insects that enables a target protein to be
purified easily, without requiring the use of recombinant
baculovirus, while simultaneously providing a process for
producing exogenous protein using that genetic
engineering material. A gene recombinant silkworm is
obtained by inserting an exogenous protein gene such as a
cytokine gene coupled to a promoter that functions in
silk glands into a silkworm chromosome. An exogenous
protein such as a cytokine is then extracted and purified
from the silk glands or cocoon of that silkworm or its
offspring. A large amount of exogenous protein can be
produced within silk gland cells, outside silk gland
cells or in silk thread or a cocoon by inserting an
expression gene cassette, in which the DNA sequence of
the 3' terminal portion and the DNA sequence of the 5'
terminal portion of fibroin H chain gene are fused to the
exogenous protein gene, into silk gland cells and so
