A method of producing an extract of an animal-derived or plant-derived biological material includes: extracting a component in the biological material using liquefied dimethyl ether for the biological material to obtain a liquefied dimethyl ether solution including the component; separating the solution from the biological material; and volatilizing or separating the liquefied dimethyl ether from the solution.

Method of producing extract and extraction residue of biological material, extract, and extraction residue

There is provided an imaging device including an imaging element that acquires a captured image of a subject, a light emission unit that emits light to the subject, and a control unit that is capable of controlling a timing of exposure performed by the imaging element and a timing of light emission performed by the light emission unit. In a mode in which imaging is performed with a plurality of times of consecutive light emission by the light emission unit, the control unit controls at least one of a timing of the exposure and a timing of the light emission so that light amounts effective for exposure in each imaging are substantially the same.

In a video game system and a game controller, discrepancy ween the manipulation of the user and the display position on screen, etc., can be prevented, without adding adjusting ponents after forwarding them from the factory. The digitized log manipulation information which have been obtained from the ipulation information generating means are calibrated by the ipulation information calibrating means provided in the game troller, and then the digitized and calibrated analog ipulation information which have been obtained by calibration transmitted to the game processing device.

Video game system and game controller

This invention relates to a home game machine, and more particularly, to a game machine control module having a plurality of operation buttons, which is connected to a game machine body through a cable. The game machine control module comprises a control member for transmitting the operation data obtained by a plurality of operation buttons through the cable to the game machine body and for receiving the data from the game machine body through the cable, and a response member positioned at a predetermined place on the game machine control module and controlled by the control member based on a predetermined dynamic transmission data which is contained in the data transmitted from the game machine body. Therefore, this makes it possible to enjoy games giving the feeling of being at a live performance comparing to the conventional one.

A system for controlling the pitch between an original sound and a reproduced sound system in which generation of tremolo sound is suppressed and a clock is used commonly for write timing and read timing of a ring buffer. Digital data are obtained by sampling an analog input signal and data are interpolated before writing to a memory of the ring buffer, and a plurality of write positions are provided and the data is written while controlling addresses. Address spacings between a plurality of read memory positions are different from each other. Coefficients are set within a range from a predetermined negative value to a predetermined positive values according to address spacing to write memory position for each of the read memory positions, and the data read from each of a plurality of read memory positions are multiplied by the corresponding coefficient. The resultant data values are summed up and are used as output data. Further, a comb line filter is provided in a signal path.

Pitch control system

A first monophonic signal within a predetermined frequency range and a second monophonic signal at least outside of the predetermined frequency range are produced from a monophonic input signal. A simulated-stereo device is provided for dividing each of the first and second monophonic signals into stereo-simulated signals. The level of the first monophonic signal is compared with the level of the second monophonic signal. The level of the first stereo-simulated signal is attenuated when the level of the first monophonic signal is higher than the level of the outside monophonic signal.
