Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide wideband modulator using a PLL
synthesizer which can match the frequency characteristic and prevent degradation in
modulation accuracy even in the presence of a variation in the manufacture of circuit
components. 
     In a wideband modulator which modulates the division ratio of a frequency
divider by using a modulating signal generated by a modulating signal generator and
outputs a modulated carrier signal from a VCO, first and second calibration data from a
calibration data generator are input via a selector. The amplitude value of an ac
component of each modulating signal appearing on the output of a loop filter or the
amplitude value of an ac component of each modulating signal demodulated by a
demodulator is converted to a digital value by way of an A/D converter. The difference
between the two is detected by error detection means and a control signal FCR to eliminate
the difference is generated by frequency characteristic correction means in order to correct
the frequency characteristic of a PLL or a pre-distortion filter.

Abstract: To extend a life-span of a nozzle for a processing machine, a hard ceramic coating is formed on a surface of a base metal of the nozzle for a processing machine. By forming the hard ceramic coating on the surface of the base metal of the nozzle for a processing machine, a surface of this nozzle for a processing machine is made flaw-resistant, and the nozzle is made to have strong resistance to heat. It is thereby possible to prevent the life-span of the nozzle for a processing machine from being shortened due to occurrence of a flaw caused by contact of a workpiece with a burr during a processing, a heat-related deformation or the like. Extension of the life-span of the nozzle for a processing machine is thus realized.

Abstract: The purpose of the image processing device is to
convert color image data rapidly to data expressed by the
dot on/off state. A plurality of adjacent pixels is grouped
as a first type of block, and judgment of the dot on/off
state performed by suitably using the error diffusion method
is performed in block units. The image data after the color
conversion used for this judgment is stored once in memory
in a compressed state according to the result of edge
detection for the block, and when necessary, judgment of the
dot on/off state is performed while reading from the memory.
The image processing device realizes the judgment rapidly
while avoiding making more complex the judgment of the dot
on/off state performed in block units. Also, the image data
is compressed according to the result of edge detection, so
it is possible to read and write rapidly in relation to
memory, and furthermore to decompress rapidly. The image
processing device rapidly performs the process of color
converting color image data and converting data expressed by
the dot on/off state without making the processing contents
more complex.
