High-accuracy magnetic measurement is performed by efficiently using nitrogen-vacancy pairs in all orientations. A magnetic measurement apparatus includes a diamond crystal and an image sensor. The diamond crystal has nitrogen-vacancy pairs. The image sensor detects the intensities of fluorescence generated by an exciting light applied to the diamond crystal by using a plurality of pixels. The nitrogen-vacancy pairs of the diamond crystal are made to one-to-one correspond to the pixels. The fluorescence generated by one nitrogen-vacancy pair is received by one pixel made to correspond to the nitrogen-vacancy pair.

Magnetic measurement apparatus

Provided are an agent for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a mood disorder comprising, as an active ingredient, a thiazole derivative represented by the formula (I) wherein Rrepresents aryl or the like, and Rrepresents pyridyl or the like, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the like. 

Therapeutic agent for mood disorders

One data processor is provided with an interface for realizing connection with the other data processor. This interface is provided with a function for connecting the other data processor as a bus master to an internal bus of the one data processor, and the relevant other data processor is capable of directly operating peripheral functions that are memory mapped to the internal bus from an external side via the interface. Accordingly, the data processor can utilize the peripheral functions of the other data processor without interruption of the program being executed. In short, one data processor can use in common the peripheral resources of the other data processor.

Data processing system and data processor

A fryer is provided which, during a standby for cooking, can keep the temperature of a cooking oil slightly lower than a cooking temperature and, during cooking, can quickly raise the oil temperature to the cooking temperature. The fryer also has capabilities of easily performing a heat exchange operation on the cooking oil, preventing degradation of the cooking oil, securing a good kitchen environment and enhancing a work efficiency. The fryer comprises a fryer tank having oil and water for cleaning the oil stored in two layers one upon the other; and a heater installed in the oil layer; wherein the water in the water layer is drawn out from a water suction opening at a bottom of fryer tank, cleaned by a filtering water tank and then delivered into the fryer tank almost horizontally in an off-centered direction from a water supply opening formed in a lower, side wall of the fryer tank, thus rotating the water in the fryer tank in a swirl. The fryer also has a device for discharging impurities collected in the filtering water tank.

An apparatus for recovering platinum group elements comprises a furnace body having an interior space substantially shot off from external air, a material charging port and an exhaust port provided in an upper half of the furnace body, at least two fluid discharge ports provided in a lower half of the furnace body at different height levels. a material charging chute connected to the material charging port. an exhaust unit connected to the exhaust port; and electrodes for passing electric current through and heating material charged into the furnace. The material charging chute is equipped with a vertical two stage shutter so as to maintain airtightness when material is charged into the interior space of the furnace.

Apparatus for recovering platinum group elements

A method for recovering platinum group elements comprises charging into a closed electric furnace and melting, together with flux components and a reducing agent, a platinum group element-containing substance to be processed and a copper source material containing copper oxide, sinking molten metal of primarily metallic copper below a molten slag layer of primarily oxides, and enriching the platinum group elements in the molten metal sunk below, and is characterized in that molten slag whose copper content has decreased to 3.0 wt % or less is discharged from the electric furnace and that the copper source material charged into the electric furnace is a granular copper source material of a grain diameter of not less than 0.1 mm and not greater than 10 mm.

An optical module includes an under cladding, a first core, a second core, and an over cladding. The under cladding has a flat shape as a whole. The first core has a quadrangular cross section and is placed on the under cladding. The second core is placed on a terminal end portion of the first core. The over cladding is placed in a region including the terminal end portion of the first core and the second core placed on the terminal end portion of the first core. The under cladding and the first core placed thereon constitute a first optical waveguide. The under cladding, the terminal end portion of the first core placed on the under cladding, the second core placed thereon, and the over cladding placed on and around the second core constitute a mode field size conversion portion. The under cladding, the second core placed on the under cladding, and the over cladding placed on and around the second core constitute a second optical waveguide. The first core is made of silicon. The first and second cores differ in cross-sectional shape. A manufacturing method for the optical module is also disclosed.

Optical module and manufacturing method therefor

A data processing method for compressing vertex coordinate data of a plurality of polygons approximating a three-dimensional shape of an image, an apparatus therefor, and a program recording medium therefor. Vertexes of a plurality of polygons approximating a three-dimensional shape of an image are divided into a plurality of vertex sets. A reference point is defined for each of the vertex sets. As positional information of each vertex in each of the vertex sets, differential data between the coordinates of the vertex and the coordinates of the reference point is obtained as an integer value indicating the magnitude relative to a predetermined scale value. The coordinate data of the reference point and the differential data in each of the vertex sets are compressed data.
