Abstract: A finger tapping measurement processing terminal that measures a finger tapping motion and processes a measurement result includes: a touch panel that is provided on one surface of a terminal, is capable of displaying information related to the finger tapping motion, and is tapped by one of two fingers of a same hand of a user who holds the terminal; finger detectors that detect a motion of one finger tapping the touch panel; and a processor that performs processing of measuring a two-finger distance during a finger tapping motion between the other of the two fingers holding another surface of the terminal located on an opposite side of the touch panel and the one finger tapping the touch panel based on detection information obtained by the finger detectors.

Abstract: A split type card-edge connector including a pair of identical connector halves, each having contacts to be connected to corresponding terminals provided on opposite surfaces of a substrate, and securing members which secure the connector halves when the respective contacts are connected to the corresponding terminals of the substrate.

Abstract: A control system for a direct teaching/playback type robot, including a low spring constant member connected to a drive source for driving a robot element through a frictional coupling. The control system basically includes a first incremental position detector provided between the robot element and the frictional coupling for detecting the rotational position of the robot element, a second incremental position detector connected to the drive source for detecting the rotational position of the drive source, and a switch for selectively connecting the output terminals of the first and second position detectors to a drive source controller in teaching and playback modes of operation, respectively.

Abstract: Arm having a gravity-balancing function effective for use in welding robots as well as robots employed in a variety of industrial fields. Projectively provided over the fulcrum of an arm (1) is a rotary sheave (2), whose position is perpendicularly maintained regardless of the vertical swaying of the arm (1). A wire (6) is extended from an action point (A) on a line traced by the center of gravity of the arm (1), to the rotary sheave (2), and is connected to a spring mechanism (3) which may extend by the length of elongation equal to the distance between the action point (A) and the rotary sheave (2), whereby a moment due to the weight of the arm (1) is completely balanced to provide an arm with gravity-balancing.
