Abstract: A product dispensing apparatus is described having a product meter and an distribution system. A sensor is provided along a product passage between the meter and the distribution system. The sensor has a plurality of receivers, each receiver only covering a small portion of the product passage whereby the resolution of the sensor is increased to be able to detect relatively small particles. For certain small particles or low rate application, the sensor counts individual particles to determine the application rate. For larger particles or high application rates, the sensor measures an output signal attenuation to determine the application rate. A controller then varies the meter drive to produce the desired application rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal processing device, and a signal processing method, a program, and a data recording medium, wherein the reproduction level of an audio signal can be easily and efficiently emphasized without requiring any analysis in advance. An analysis unit (21) generates, as mapping control information, the root mean square value of a sample in a predetermined section of a supplied audio signal. A mapping processing unit (22) converts the amplitude of the supplied audio signal using a nonlinear function which is determined by the mapping control information as a mapping function. In this manner, converting the amplitude of the audio signal using the nonlinear function which changes depending on the characteristics of each section of the audio signal makes it possible to easily and efficiently emphasize the reproduction level of the audio signal without requiring any analysis in advance. The present invention can be applied to portable reproduction devices.
