Abstract: An input control unit for enabling the user to change the input function of an input key without operating any button is provided. A display section 15 is provided with a function partition area containing function determination areas and a match detection section 167 generates match detection information indicating that a pointer exists on a predetermined function determination area based on pointer position information indicating the display position of the pointer from a pointer position determination section 161 and function determination area position information indicating the display position of a function determination area from an icon position storage section 163, and sends the generated match detection information to a control section 168. The control section 168 converts the current input function of a numeric key 13a in an input key section 13 in response to the function determination area where the pointer exists based on the match detection information.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to enable display of a screen of a document so as to clearly indicate that a script is under execution while maintaining easiness to see the screen of the document. A document display unit displays the contents of a document which is inputted, in a first manner of display. Next, a processing execution unit executes processing in accordance with a description of processing. Then, a manner-of-display change unit changes the manner of display of the contents of the document to a second manner of display after the processing is completed.

Abstract: A first toned paint which failed to adhere to a subject to be coated in a coating work is recovered, and a suitable amount of primary color paints are added to the recovered first toned paint to manufacture a second toned paint. This method includes a step of blending multiple types of primary color paints to manufacture the first toned paint (S5), and a step of memorizing a blending ratio or a composition ratio of the primary color paints in the first toned paint into a computer readable memory (S7). According to this invention, economy of a powder coating material is improved.

Abstract: Pair of columns 3 and 4 are provided on a bed so as to be movable in a approach and separate direction to each other. On inside surfaces facing with the columns 3 and 4 to each other, there are respectively arranged tool spindles 32 and 32′ which are movably guided in one of first and second directions mutually perpendicular to a first direction that is a moving direction of the columns 3 and 4. Each of the tool spindles 32 and 32′ performs machining operations with respect to a common worktable by independently moving in the three directions mutually perpendicular to each other. Upper-lower covers 50 are intentionally arranged in a front of each of the columns 3 and 4 by upper and lower winders 52 and 53 so as to cover the front of each of the columns 3 and 4. Further, a cover apparatus 60 is intentionally arranged between the columns 3 and 4.

Abstract: A balloon-tip catheter having a balloon formed from a polymeric material in the vicinity of the tip of a catheter, wherein the polymeric material forming the balloon comprises a polyolefin obtained by polymerization using a metallocene catalyst.

Abstract: A friction-roller speed changer has three intermediate rollers (12a, 12b, 12c). Two rollers (12a, 12b) of which act as a wedge roller and can be moved into the narrower area of an annular space (10) by the transmission of power, wherein during power transmission from the input side in the normal state to the output side. The other intermediate roller (12a or 12b), which does not act as the wedge roller, moves into the wider area of the annular space (10) against the elastic force of the spring (14) whereby transmission efficiency for bidirectional rotation is maintained while preventing backflow of power.

Abstract: In a machine tool of the present invention, a spindle head rotatably supports a vertical tool spindle. On the spindle head base, a guide mechanism is provided so as to guide the spindle head in mutually orthogonal first and second horizontal directions and in a vertical direction. A workpiece is supported on a workpiece supporting base provided at a front side of the spindle head base. The workpiece is surrounded with a side cover assembly on the workpiece support base so as to define a machining area therewithin. The upper end of the side cover assembly is covered with a top cover assembly. The top cover assembly has a spindle hole through which a nose portion of the spindle head passes so as to permit the tool spindle to reach the machining area, and is flexibly operable to follow the movements of the spindle head in the first and second horizontal directions.

Abstract: An electronic tuning circuit for an AM radio receiver in which a signal of a specific frequency is selected from the input signal from an antenna is provided, this tuning circuit having a tuning transformer with a first winding and a second winding, the number of turns on the first winding being greater than the number of turns on said second winding, the input from the antenna being applied to the second winding of the tuning transformer, and further having two varactor diodes, each of which is connected in series with a DC-blocking capacitor, these series-connected varactor-capacitor combinations being connected in parallel with the first winding of the tuning transformer such that the polarities of the varactor diodes are mutually opposing.

Abstract: A balloon catheter having a balloon part composed of a film which is formed from a polymer having a number average molecular weight of at least 50,000, and has an initial modulus at 100% of at least 95 kg/cm.sup.2 is provided. The balloon part is far excellent in preventive effect against its destruction is provided. The balloon catheter is suitable for use as a balloon catheter for intraaortic balloon pumping because the balloon part is prevented from being worn due to the rubbing of the balloon part against a calcified deposit on a blood vessel upon its practical operation.
