A horizontal register transfer pulse generator includes: phase adjuster generating an output signal, from reference signal; and horizontal blanking period generator based on output signal, reference signal, and horizontal blanking pulse, wherein horizontal blanking period generator includes: delay masking pulse generator generating delay masking pulse delayed by predetermined phase relative to masking pulse generated on horizontal blanking pulse inputted into horizontal blanking period generator; and determination means determining phase difference between output signal and reference signal, when phase difference between output signal and reference signal is less than predetermined phase, horizontal blanking period generator combines masking pulse with output signal to generate horizontal register transfer pulse with horizontal blanking period, and when phase difference between output signal and reference signal is equal to or greater than predetermined phase, horizontal blanking period generator combines delay masking pulse with output signal to generate horizontal register transfer pulse with horizontal blanking period.

Horizontal register transfer pulse generation circuit and imaging apparatus

Wind power generator including a wind turbine rotating in a cylindrical wind tunnel body and capable of generating high output power by accelerating a wind flow. The wind tunnel body expands toward a wind flow direction and the wind turbine is arranged adjacent to a wind inlet of the wind tunnel body. An angle of inclination of a side wall portion of the wind tunnel body against an axis of the wind tunnel body is in a range from 5 to 25 degrees. The inlet of the wind tunnel body has a curved surface smoothly expanding toward an outside of the wind tunnel body. A collar-shaped brim is formed on an outside of an opening edge of a wind outlet of the wind tunnel body. Wind flowing into the wind tunnel body sharply accelerates immediately after passing through the inlet and rotates the wind turbine.

A human body detector for a seat which does not deteriorate comfort of sitting even when it is disposed on the seat, has a high sensitivity and can be easily fitted to the seat. Vibration detection means (,) is disposed in such a manner that even when a person is seated, the means (,) comes into contact with the bottom surface of a seat pad (,) of a seat (,) and accordingly the person does not feel the means (,). According to this construction, the human body does not easily feel the means (,) by the provision of the seat pad (,), the existence of the vibration detection means (,) is hardly felt even when the hardness and the shape are changed, and various measures for improving the sensitivity of the vibration detection means (,) can be taken. The vibration detection means (,) may be merely bonded to the seat pad (,) or may be fixed to a seat spring (,) or a seat frame (,), and can be fitted more easily to the seat (,) than when it is disposed below a surface cloth (,) of the seat (,).

Human body sensor for seat

The particulates, etc. deposited on the trap are burnt in such a manner that the trap is heated so that the temperature of the trap does not exceed 500&deg; C. or the maximum temperature gradient in radial direction of the trap is 20&deg; C./mm or less, preferably 10&deg; C./mm or less.

Method for purification of exhaust gas

A catalyst for exhaust gas purification characterized by high catalytic activity, heat resistance, and toxin resistance includes a metal oxide and at least one alkali metal sulfate or at least one alkaline earth metal sulfate. The process for producing the catalyst includes mixing the metal oxide with an aqueous solution of the sulfate, evaporating the mixture to dryness, and heat-treating the resultant mixed powder. An exhaust gas purifying apparatus includes an exhaust gas purifying filter having a high exhaust gas purification rate and an excellent durability. The filter includes a ceramic filter with a heat-resistant coating layer thereon for support of the catalyst.
