Inventor: TSUGE OSAMU
IPC: C21B13/10
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a method
for accelerating separation of granular metallic iron as an
objective product and slag as a by-product when the granular
metallic iron is produced with reduction melting of raw-material
agglomerates that contain an iron-oxide containing
material and a carbonous reducing agent, thereby producing
metallic iron of a high iron grade in which slag is
satisfactorily separated and removed. 
     The present invention resides in a method for
accelerating separation of granular metallic iron and slag,
the method being employed to produce the granular metallic
iron with reduction melting of raw-material agglomerates
that contain an iron-oxide containing material and a
carbonous reducing agent, wherein a mixed solid of the
granular metallic iron produced with the reduction melting
and the slag produced as a by-product are quickly cooled to
accelerate separation of the granular metallic iron and the
by-product slag from each other.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne le balayage et l'analyse de prélèvements cytologiques et histologiques, dans lesquels il est fait appel à un scanneur à plat (fig. 1) pour capturer les images de structures d'intérêt telles que des cellules tumorales d'une manière qui offre une résolution d'image suffisante pour permettre l'analyse de techniques courantes de coloration des pathologies telles que l'immunocytochimie, l'immunohistochimie ou l'hybridation in situ.  Selon le procédé de l'invention, on balaie de très gros volumes de matière afin d'identifier des cellules ou des amas cellulaires qui sont positifs ou qui méritent un examen détaillé, et si une analyse à plus haute résolution s'avère nécessaire, on transfère les informations relatives à ces événements positifs vers un microscope auxiliaire tel qu'un microscope à balayage traditionnel afin de permettre l'analyse et l'examen approfondi des régions choisies de la microplaquette contenant le prélèvement.

Abstract: A modal converter having at least one ultrasonic transducer or at least one array of such transducers positioned on the modal converter at various angles relative to a tissue surface and bone tissue surface, such that some combination of one or more of the following occur: longitudinal waves are produced perpendicular to the bone surface, longitudinal waves propagate along the surface of the skin after incidence at the skin tissue surface, and both longitudinal and shear waves propagate along the surface of the bone after incidence at the bone tissue surface. Illuminating an open tissue wound and bone fracture site with these acoustic modes enhances and promotes angiogenesis and the biological endostial or periostial healing phases, or both, of the bone fracture healing process. The spatial and temporal distribution of acoustic waves directed to the treatment area via the ultrasonic transducers and the modal converter may be controlled.

Abstract: An echo canceller comprises a signal input for a far end signal, an audio input for a distorted desired signal, an echo estimator coupled to the signal input, and a spectral subtracter coupled to the echo estimator and the audio input. The echo estimator further comprises digital filter means covering a time span of at least a part of the echo to be cancelled. Spectral subtraction of the echo part does not make use of echo phase information. Consequently this saves memory and processing power of calculations made in the echo canceller. Furthermore these calculations are not restricted to a particular decaying course of the room impulse response, as any kind of echo tail course may be modelled. This provides a larger degree of freedom in practical embodiments and broadens the application area of the echo canceller.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for peripherally supporting X-ray-reflective
mirrors such as used in X-ray microlithography systems and other X-ray
optical systems. The methods provide effective physical support while reducing
certain deformations in the reflective surface of the mirror. An embodiment of the
method or mirror-support apparatus utilizes multiple "pushing" and "pushing"
devices that apply a compressive stress and tensile stress, respectively, to respective
locations on the peripheral-side surface of the mirror. One or more pushing devices
and one or more pulling devices can be used as required. For example, at time of
mirror fabrication, respective pushing devices can be placed adjacent concave-deviation
regions and respective pulling devices can be placed adjacent convex-deviation
regions on the reflective surface of the mirror. (Each pushing device
produces an offsetting convexity in the adjacent mirror material, and each pulling
device produces a corresponding concavity in the adjacent mirror material.) Thus,
form errors arising at fabrication time are offset while simultaneously supporting the
mirror.

Abstract: The invention provides optical technique for measuring metabolism in a living body that can further reduce an error in measurement even if distance between irradiation and detection is fixed. The living body is classified into measurement regions and different measuring wavelengths are set according to the classification. For example, the head is classified into four regions of a parietal region, a frontal region, a temporal region and an occipital region and a wavelength according to each tissue is set in a wavelength selecting system. In measurement, wavelengths according to each measurement region are selected by multiple wavelengths-light radiating means. Besides, for a region having large personal difference, premeasurement is made using plural combinations of wavelengths and wavelengths are selected using a calculated error in measurement as a criterion. <IMAGE>
