Abstract: In a module substrate, a plurality of terminal connection substrates each including an insulator and a plurality of columnar terminal electrodes arranged on a single lateral surface or both lateral surfaces of the insulator is mounted on a single side of a composite substrate such that at least one of the terminal connection substrates extends over a border between a plurality of neighboring module substrates. The composite substrate, in which the plurality of terminal connection substrates is mounted on the single side and a plurality of electronic components is mounted on at least the single side, is divided at a location where the module substrates are to be cut from the composite substrate.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a portable terminal device accepting an input operation in accordance with acceleration, which is less prone to cause incorrect input and allows a user to perform easily an input operation. [Constitution] A mobile phone includes an acceleration sensor 13 for detecting acceleration produced on a mobile phone main body; a cumulative value calculating section 100a for calculating a cumulative value of detected acceleration; a comparing section 100b for comparing the cumulative value with a threshold value; and a CPU 100 for controlling a security lock mode in accordance with a result of comparison by the comparing section 100b. When the cumulative value has exceeded the threshold value by a user shaking the mobile phone, the CPU 100 cancels the security lock mode.

Abstract: A method for forming circuit patterns having different resistances. The method includes (1) a first step of forming a first toner image using a first toner and a second toner image using a second toner, each by electrophotography, the first toner containing a resistive material, the second toner having a resistance different from that of the first toner; and (2) a second step of transferring and fixing the first toner image and the second toner image to an object to be printed such as a ceramic green sheet, to form a circuit pattern.
