聴覚障害者への音楽リズム情報の伝達手段として新しく皮膚電気刺激を取り上げ,手軽に利用できるパソコンベースのシステムを作成し,その基本的性質を調べた.すなわち,刺激電圧パルスの波形と強度,皮膚電極形状とその装着位置,電極装着個数と音楽リズムの複雑さ、感度や不快感などとの関係を調べた.また,リング状の電極を指につけた場合について,MIDIキーボードを弾く例を取り上げ,音や光など他のリズム伝達方法と比較した.これらの結果から,パルス幅0.2〜2ms、印加電圧20〜80Vの範囲で各人の特性により調整することにより、痛みなどの不快感を最小限にとどめ,音楽信号の伝達方法の1つとして使用可能であることが分かった.従来,聴覚障害者への音楽同期情報は,残存聴力を利用する通常の音響出力や機械的振動,あるいは映像やランプなどの視覚情報が用いられて来たが,この直接電気的に感覚神経を刺激する方法は応答時間が早く,顔の向き(視線方向)に左右されない情報伝達手段として,低周波音響や機械的振動に替わり,とくに合奏やダンスなどの集団動作の同期をとる場合に有用である.障害者個々の特性に応じ他のマルチメディアと併用して利用するのが実際的と考えられる.またこの方法は体性感覚を使うことから視聴覚に重複障害をもつ人々のコミュニケーション手段としても利用が可能で、今後この分野でも開発が期待できる.

When a big earthquake occurs, the en quete method through post cards is usually carried out for the inverstigation of intensity distribution and damage and their relations to the ground conditions and geology. Thus collected data isalsousefulforthe prevention of damage due to big earthquakes. This method can be applied to large historical earthquakes when abundant historical documents are found. As the first step of the application of on qttete method to historical earthquakes, the Zenkoji earthquake which occurred at about 10 p.m. on the 24th of March, 1847 was studied.

In earlier days most Japanese wanted eagerly to have means of earthquake prediction in order to escape earthquake disaster taking refuge in advance in open spaces since they were almost powerless in encountering the menaces. We are now enabled to long for the mitigation of the disaster by the advancement of science and technology, although we have not yet succeeded to predict the coming of a disastrous earthquake. Our safety thus depend entirely on our effort for the countermeasures against the calamity. But we have only limited allowances for such preparations economically and in time available. It is therefore inevitable to start the preparation from the most important and imminent localities in a country, from the national point of view.<BR>In Japan, according to the writer's witness on the imminence of Southern Kwanto District at the Diet in July, 1964, such preparation work for Tokyo Metropolis was started the next month by a new Earthquake Division of the Disaster Prevention Council of the Metropolis, and several important hazard possibilities of the imminent earthquake have been revealed with the result that similar committees have also been made in other prefectures and cities in the same area as well as in the Central Government of the country.<BR>In this paper the writer intended to give the ground for his assertion of the imminence of a disastrous earthquake giving proofs of the periodicity of such calamities on the statistical and historical analyses, and made some comments on the possible consequences and major problems in the countermeasures to cope with the conceived disaster as revealed by the studies made on the national and metropolitan levels.<BR>In view of the importance, interest and the space allowance, only the proofs of the periodicity in the recurrence of destructive earthquakes in the district concerned are summarised in this abstract.<BR>Historical earthquakes in and around Kwanto District as shown in the map (Fig. 2.1) were examined and those which were destructive at Kamakura or presumable as such from the standard intensity-distance-magnitude curve were selected and listed in Table 1.1. Periodicities of these earthquakes were analysed statistically. Similar analyses were also applied to the earthquakes experienced in Tokyo which are listed in Table 2.2. A definite period τ of 69 years (besides a few integral multiples of this period) was clearly found. The methods used in the above analyses were by means of (1) Fourier transforms (Fig. 1.1), (2) autocorrelation functions (Figs. 1.3 and 1.4) and (3) historical examinations of the number of cases when no destructive earthquakes took place within the standard deviation +√ ξ<SUP>2</SUP> from the year t<SUB>p</SUB> when a destructive earthquake was expected to occur from the periodicity. Test of persistence of the period was also made by means of the theory of random walks consisting of Fourier amplitudes in successive periods (Figs. 1.5 a and b). Rayleigh-Schuster's criterion (Formula 1.3) that is the probability of obtaining the actual Fourier amplitude on the assumption of no periodicity or the resultant distance of above mentioned random walks gave the values of the probability equal to 0.06% and 0.03% for Kamakura and Tokyo respectively. In comparison to usual value of 5 or 10% for recognizing periodicity in geophysical phenomena, the smallness of the above values is more than enough to disprove the non-existence of the periodicity of 69 years in the recurrence of destructive earthquakes in the districts under consideration.
