Efficient Methods of Blind Deconvolution Based on the Lane-Bates Algorithm: Comprehensive Summary

　We developed efficient methods of blind deconvolution on the basis of the Lane-Bates algorithm. The methods consist of two kinds of mathematical tools and their modified versions. We give a comprehensive summary of them in this report

Study on the light insulator between scintillator crystals

　In our current project, we undertake an R&D of a new type of PED device which can be produced with a much lower cost yet has a better spatial resolution, compared to the currently used devices. In the course of this development, we encountered a difficulty of light cross-talk between the scintillator crystals. Large amount of effort has been paid to find out the best material to be used to reduce this cross-talk without reducing the light output and the spatial resolution. The experimental result shows that a black flock paper has the most promising features

Remote control and surveillance systems that utilize virtual instrument technology the Internet and a cellular phone

　We have developed PC-based remote control and surveillance systems that utilize the LabVIEW-based virtual instrument (VI) technology, the Internet and a cellular phone. The main VIs we have developed are “Remote Control VI for a Mobile Robot and a Robot Arm” and “Remote Surveillance and Warning VI”. In these VIs we devised a control system of mouse-clicking on camera images mounted on a remote browser. With this control system mis-operations of the VIs caused by the delay of image-communication between two remote sites can be eliminated
