Abstract: Disclosed is an improved, chemically-amplifying positive resist composition for radiations, especially UV rays, deep-UV rays, excimer laser beams, X-rays, electron beams. The composition comprises (A) a resin component whose solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution is increased by the action of acids, (B) a compound which generates an acid when exposed to radiations, and (A) a resin component, (B) an acid-generating agent and (C) an organic carboxylic acid compound, in which said resin component (A) is a mixture comprising (a) a polyhydroxystyrene where from 10 to 60 mol % of the hydroxyl groups have been substituted by residues of a general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R.sup.2 represents a methyl group or an ethyl group, and R.sup.3 represents a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms;and (b) a polyhydroxystyrene where from 10 to 60 mol % of the hydroxyl groups have been substituted by tert-butoxycarbonyloxy groups.

Abstract: A control device for an electrically driven telescopic antenna including: a counting signal extracting circuit which detects the altered waveform of an rectified current generated during the forward or reverse rotation of a DC motor so as to extract counting signals; a command device which sends a control stop command to a motor drive control circuit when the counted value of the extracted counting signals reaches a certain preset value; a motor current monitoring circuit which monitors the current flow to the motor and outputs information on the completion of the antenna element extension/retraction action when the motor current value exceeds a prescribed value; and a correction device which corrects the counted value based upon the information outputted by the motor current monitoring circuit. The control device can include a large-capacitance capacitor for absorbing power supply fluctuations.

Abstract: In a motorized automobile antenna control device for an antenna system wherein an antenna is raised when power supply of a radio receiver is switched on and lowered when the power supply is switched off, the antenna is prevented from being lowered for a predetermined period of time, for example two to ten seconds, after the power supply of the radio receiver is turned off by a timer so that unnecessary raising and lowering motions of the antenna are prevented when an ignition switch of an automobile is turned on.
