Stable magnetic field measurement is enabled without collapse of polarization or fluctuation of intensity of a laser beam incident on a glass cell of an optical pumping magnetic sensor. Excitation light generated with a light source, having optimized light intensity and polarized wave, through frequency stabilization, intensity control and polarized-wave control, is introduced via a polarized wave holding optical fiber to a magnetic sensor provided in a magnetic shield, and magnetic field measurement is performed by optical pumping using magneto-optical properties of spin-polarized alkali metal. The magnetic sensor has a structure where a lens, a polarization optical device, the glass cell and a photodetector, are integrally accommodated in a non-magnetic case.

In order to compensate the reduction of a developing activity during working and / or stopped period, a replenisher and / or a diluent is added to the developer according to predetermined replenishing conditions, and also in order to compensate the reduction of the developing activity caused by processing photosensitive materials, the replenisher and / or the diluent is added to the developer. Then, in cases where the electric conductivity of the thus replenished developer exceeds a predetermined target value, the diluent is replenished to the developer tank until the electric conductivity of the developer falls below the target value.

To provide a radiation imaging apparatus capable of restraining the change of image qualities due to the change of sensitivities of an MIS-type photoelectric conversion element and its control method. Therefore, an MIS-type photoelectric conversion element 217 is set to a saturation state before performing radiation imaging.

A vibration-proof zoom lens comprises a positive first lens group, a negative second lens group, a positive third lens group, a positive fourth lens group, and a positive fifth lens group, which are disposed in this order from a subject side. The second lens group moves toward an image side at a time when magnification changes from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end. The fourth lens group moves to correct variation of an image plane at the time of magnification change. The first, third and fifth lens groups are fixed. The third lens group is composed of first to third subgroups. When vibration occurs, the second subgroup is moved in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis to correct an image position so that an image blur is prevented.

A DC-DC converter includes a regeneration preventing circuit to bring a synchronous rectifying switching element to an OFF-state when an output of an error amplifier is lower than a lower-limit potential of a triangular-wave signal, that is, when the output of the error amplifier deviates from a voltage range of the triangular-wave signal in a side (direction), which would cause a smaller ON duty ratio of a main switching element. This configuration prevents a rise of voltage in an input side due to a regenerative operation at startup when a pre-bias voltage exists. Also, the configuration prevents fluctuations of an output voltage at a sudden change of a load current and a drop of the output voltage at transition from a soft start state to a normal operation state when the load current is small.

For producing methanol from a synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon oxides the synthesis gas is passed through a first, water-cooled reactor in which a part of the carbon oxides is catalytically converted to methanol. The resulting mixture containing synthesis gas and methanol vapor is supplied to a second, gas-cooled reactor in which a further part of the carbon oxides is converted to methanol. Subsequently, methanol is separated from the synthesis gas, and synthesis gas is recirculated to the first reactor. The cooling gas flows through the second reactor cocurrent to the mixture withdrawn from the first reactor.

The invention concerns an automated motor vehicle shift transmission (1) with an input shaft, an output shaft and several selectively engaged gears, the input shaft (W1) being connected to a drive motor (M) via an engine clutch (K) that can be engaged and disengaged.
