Abstract: Provided is a transmitter for musical instrument and a mode switching method thereof. A transmitter for musical instrument which is mounted on an electric guitar determines the electric guitar is in a not-in-use state when a continuation time in which a square sum of accelerations output from a three-axis acceleration sensor is smaller than a power-saving threshold value is longer than a power-saving transition time, and the transmitter transitions from a normal mode to an energy-saving mode. On the other hand, when the accelerations in the energy-saving mode becomes equal to or greater than a release threshold value from a state of being smaller than the release threshold value or becomes equal to or smaller than the release threshold value from a state of being greater than the release threshold value, the electric guitar is returned from the energy-saving mode to the normal mode.

Abstract: In a workplace where a work is performed based on a previously-optimized work schedule, a decrease in productivity can be prevented while interference between a plurality of work subjects is avoided. A schedule management unit is configured to calculate a first margin time from an end time of a first work to a start time of a second work, the first work being allocated to a time period including a current time in the work schedule of a first work subject, the second work being scheduled next to the first work in the work schedule. When an interference condition is satisfied and the first margin time is longer than a specific reference time, the schedule management unit instructs the first work subject to take action of avoiding the second work subject.

Abstract: A technique provides a coverage in response to any layout change. A travel controller in a traveling apparatus determines a travel route of a travel unit based on a first radio wave intensity being an intensity of a radio wave transmitted and received between a first radio wave transmitter-receptor and a first device, a first threshold, a second radio wave intensity being an intensity of a radio wave transmitted and received between a second radio wave transmitter-receptor and a second device, a second threshold, and a layout map showing a location of the first device and a location of the second device to maintain the first radio wave intensity at the first threshold or higher and to maintain the second radio wave intensity at the second threshold or higher. The travel controller controls travel of the travel unit based on the determined travel route.

Abstract: Location positioning setting information is read from a setting storage section when the user depressed a power key. The location positioning setting information comprises setting information, such as the maximum duration time of the location positioning operation and the operation timing when a power-off event has been generated. A control section turns off the power of a display section, a speaker, a microphone, etc., excluding a communication function for transmitting location positioning and positioning results. In this state, a location positioning section acquires the positional information of the mobile communication terminal. Then, a wireless communication section transmits the location positioning information of the positioned mobile communication terminal to a predetermined monitoring server which manages the positional information of the mobile communication terminal.

Abstract: A handy oxygen generator containing an oxygen generating agent which reacts with water to evolve oxygen can arbitrarily supply plenty of oxygen under all circumstances at any time. The oxygen generator can be efficiently used particularly in life-threatening emergencies such as a fire and other accidents or when climbing a mountain or playing a sport. The oxygen generator may be formed of a sealed container partitioned into two chambers separately containing water and the oxygen generating agent, so that the separately contained oxygen generating agent and water can be mixed to react with each other by easily breaking the partition with an external pressure force. The oxygen generator containing beforehand the water along with the oxygen generating agent is very convenient to carry because it has no need of procuring water.

Abstract: A disk drive with means to prevent accidental landing of a head/slider on the disk surface is described. In one embodiment a shock sensor is provided to sense external shocks received by the mechanism. During loading (positioning) of the actuator bearing the head/slider over the disk, if a shock is sensed, loading is stopped and an immediate unloading is performed to return the actuator to the withdrawn position. In another embodiment the unload operation is performed when the rotational speed of the disk is changed. In another embodiment the unload operation is performed when the rotational speed of the disk drops below a threshold. A circuit and method for detecting when the rotational speed of the disk drops below a threshold is also provided. The unloading in the various embodiments may be performed using velocity control or without velocity control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disk drive, a loading/unloading apparatus, and a method for controlling the apparatus, capable of improving the reliability of data by performing stable speed control.
