This paper describes a Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulator and demodulator and the experimented underwater data ommunication equipment to transfer the analog echo signal in real-time from an underwater vehicle to the mother ship. The system consists of an echo signal transfer unit equipped to the vehicle and an ultrasonic receiver equipped on the ship. The former includes an ultrasonic transceiver unit of 180kHz for echo detection and a continuous wave transmitter of 50kHz with a FSK modulator for echo transmission to the ship. The latter includes an ultrasonic receiver of 50kHz and the FSK demodulator. The results of experiment are as follows. 1. The characteristics of the FSK modulating and demodulating circuits designed with the use of C-MOS IC 4046 was good and confirmed its usefulness in underwater data communication system.2. The prototype ultrasonic transceiver unit shows profitable driving power while the pulse duration was short less than 3 msec, but it was found that the driving power is not sufficient while the long pulse duration or continuous wave is used. The gain of the ultrasonic receiver was 80 dB and the receiving bandwidth 700Hz (at - 3 dB point).3. It was found that the system designed by the author has some possibility to use in underwater echo transfer.4. At the FSK modulator, the widths of voltage and frequency which represent linearity were 3.5 V, 1600Hz, respectively, at the FSK demodulator 2.6 V, 700Hz, respectively.

The detector suffers from pulse pileup by overlapping of the signals when it was used in high radiation fields. The pulse pileup deteriorates the energy spectrum and causes count losses due to random co-incidences, which might not resolve within the resolving time of the detection system. In this study, it is aimed to propose a new pulse pileup correction method. The proposed method is to correct the start point of the pileup pulse. The parameters are obtained from the fitted exponential curve using the peak point of the previous pulse and the start point of the pileup pulse. The amplitude at the corrected start point of the pileup pulse can be estimated by the peak time of the pileup pulse. The system is composed of a NaI (Tl) scintillation crystal, a photomultiplier tube, and an oscilloscope. A 61 μCi ¹³⁷Cs check-source was placed at a distance of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm, respectively. The gamma energy spectra for the radioisotope of ¹³⁷Cs were obtained to verify the proposed method. As a result, the correction of the pulse pileup through the proposed method shows a remarkable improvement of FWHM at 662 keV by 29, 39, and 7%, respectively.

A number of studies have recently been made on hardware for a biological neuron f3r application with information processing functions of neural networks. We have been trying to produce hardware from the viewpoint that development of a new hardware neuron model is one of the important problems in the study of neural networks. In this paper, we first discuss the circuit structure of a pulse-type hardware neuron model with the enhancement-mode MOSFETs (E-MOSFETs). And we construct a pulse-type hardware neuron model using I-MOSFETs. As a result, it is shown that our proposed new model can exhibit firing phenomena even if the power supply voltage becomes less than 1.5[V]. So it is verified that our model is profitable for IC.

1) The two microelectrode method was used to voltage clamp small preparations of rabbit sinoatrial node. The kinetics of hyperpolarization activated inward current, $i_f$ were analysed. 2) The hrperpolarization pulses activated $i_f$ current in the presence of $10^{-7}g/ml$ TTX and 2 mM $Mn^{2+}$. The activation range was in between -45 mV to -75 mV. The current magnitude was increased and time course was faster by strong hyperpolarization pulses. 3) Standard envelope tests indicated that this current is exponentially controlled by single gate. 4) Semilogarithmic plot of $i_f$ activation versus time was found to be linear in the activation range. The decrease in current magnitude and the shifts in activation curve and rate constants curve to the hyperpolarizing direction were obtained with $Ba^{2+}$, indicating that $Ba^{2+}$ shifts the voltage dependence of the gating kinetics, were partially reversed by 24 mM $K^+$.

The purpose of this study is to predict the pressure drop due to the installation of venturi under diverse operating conditions such as dust concentration, pulse interval and pressure, and filtration velocity using algebraic-linear regression model and use it as an economic data and efficient operating condition for a pulse air jet bag filter. A pilot scale bag filter with a filter a filter size(Ø140 × 850ℓ, 12) was used, and the filters used in the experiment were the polyester filters most commonly used in real industrial sites. The SAS 9.4 program (SAS Institute, USA) was used to predict and to determine the effects of inlet concentration (C_i), pulse interval (P_i) and pressure (P_p), filtration velocity (V_f), presence or absence of venturi, etc. The results are shown below. The variation in pressure drop with or without venturi installation was 38.8 mmAq when venturi is installed and 47.6 mmAq when venturi is not installed, indicating a difference in pressure drop of 8.8 mmAq depending on venturi installation. It is estimated that the efficiency can be improved by about 18.5% if the venturi is installed.

In this study, we have been investigated pin to plate pulsed bi-polar discharges in saline solutions, where bubble generation occurs. We integrate basic I-V-t electrical characteristics with the ICCD shadowgraph images, and finally instant and time averaged I-V waveforms. We observed that the bubble formation phase dynamics is quite different corresponding to the polarity applied to the pin electrode. When the pin electrode is a cathode, the bubble tends to be periodically detached from the pin electrode and the numerous tiny voltage spikes occur related to the electron emission from a pin cathode casing via, we judge from, direct dissociation of water molecules by energetic electrons. On the contrary, the bubble tends to stick to the pin electrode, when the pin electrode is anode; the bubble grows in size throughout the pulse duration. The dynamic electrical characteristics relative to the applied polarity of a pin electrode are presented and discussed by analysis of time averaged I-V waveforms.

The inactivating efficiency of alternating high-voltage pulsed (AHVP) current was investigated in brine (20 w/v% NaCl) and saline (0.9 w/v% NaCl) inoculated with $1\times10^7$ cells/ml of Listeria monocytogenes. AHVP current at 12 V with 1 pulse completely inactivated L. monocytogenes in brine within 3 ms, while the bacteria in saline were fully inactivated by 10-pulsed electric treatment at 12 V within the same time. Electron microscopic observation demonstrated substantial structural damage of electrically treated L. monocytogenes in brine. These results suggest that AHVP treatment would be effective for the rapid and complete inactivation of L. monocytogenes in brine or saline solution.

I-V characteristics of a cylindrical target in an ECR plasma were studied for sheath spatial evolutions when the target was pulsed biased to a high negative potential. The magnetic field effects on sheath thickness and sheath boundary speed were investigated by comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical results using the Child-Langmuir sheath model. The results showed that the magnetic field suppressed electron motion away from the target so that sheath thickness and sheath boundary speed decreased.
