Abstract: A CAD apparatus includes a layer-information storage unit and a layer displaying unit. The layer-information storage unit stores therein information that defines a superposing order, availability of display, and availability of edit of layers that form graphic data subjected to processing. When displaying a layer that is defined as available to be displayed, if the layer is an individual page layer that includes elements different per page, the layer displaying unit displays only elements associated with a page determined to be displayed from among elements included in the layer; and if the layer is an all-page common layer that includes elements common to all pages, the layer displaying unit displays all elements included in the layer.

Abstract: A CAD apparatus includes a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. On the display unit, elements included in each of layers that form graphic data are displayed in a superposed manner. The input unit at least receives an instruction about movement of a pointer indicating a certain position on a screen that the display unit includes. The control unit displays onto the display unit information about a layer to which an element belongs, the element being displayed at a position indicated by the pointer moved to a position received by the input unit.

Abstract: A CAD apparatus includes a layer displaying unit and an editing unit. The layer displaying unit displays elements included in each of layers that form graphic data onto a display unit in a superposed manner. The editing unit creates a data structure of associating between elements displayed on the display unit. If an element to be deleted is provided with a data structure of associating elements with each other, the editing unit also deletes another element associated via the data structure.

Abstract: A CAD apparatus includes a layer displaying unit, a graphic-element converting unit, and an element restoring unit. The layer displaying unit displays elements included in each of layers that form graphic data onto a display unit in a superposed manner. The graphic-element converting unit converts an element included in a first layer that forms the graphic data into a graphic element, and moves converted graphic element to a second layer that forms the graphic data. The element restoring unit restores a converted graphic element into a state before graphic element conversion.

Abstract: The time and trouble of a mismatch cause analysis after logical equivalence verification can be reduced, and design and verification TAT can be shortened. A logical equivalence verifying device performs logical equivalence verification between two circuits, and displays the result of the logical equivalence verification. A preprocessing section 7 performs structural matching so as to determine whether there are portions corresponding in circuit structure to each other in corresponding logic cones of the two circuits. An internal DB 5 records the results of the structural matching as an identifier for each element. A subcone extracting section 8 extracts, as a subcone, a collection of elements, which are mutually to one another and have the same identifier, from each logic cone. A verifying section 9 performs logical equivalence verification between the two circuits for each of the extracted subcones.

Abstract: A rotary connector, which is generally used for the steering device of an automobile, for establishing electrical connections via a flexible flat cable between an electric circuit fixed to the steering column and an electric circuit attached to the steering wheel. The rotary connector of the present invention has guiding means for the flat cable for smooth winding. Guide piece 13 is formed at recess 12C on inner cylinder 12B, with one end formed in one piece with the bottom surface of lid 12A of inner case 12. A proximity to the inside end of flat cable 5 is inserted into gap 14 between the inner wall of guide piece 13 and the periphery of recess 12C disposed on inner cylinder 12B of inner case 12. Flat cable 5 is then guided out from the edge surface of edge portion 13A formed so as to tilt the tip of guide piece 13 in the periphery direction. It is thus possible to provide an easy to assemble and economical rotary connector with the number of parts minimized.

Abstract: A revolving connector includes an outer case having a housing section for accommodating a lower section of a fixed pin, an inner case having a holder for holding part of the fixed pin and being mounted to the outer case rotatably relative to the outer case, a stopper pin extending through the fixed pin and the housing section, and a flat cable coiled and housed in a space formed between the outer and inner cases, both the ends of the flat cable being fixed to the outer and inner cases, respectively. At its lower section, the fixed pin has an engaging hole through which the stopper pin extends and a slit communicating from the hole to an end face of the fixed pin, so that an elastic tip is formed at the lower section of the fixed pin. This structure allows the flat cable to maintain its neutral position not only at assembling but also at warehousing and transporting. This flexible flat cable is used in the revolving connector employed in a steering device of a car.

Abstract: In a CAD system, an electronic system is arranged by receiving an aid of a computer, and also a designing work of an architecture of this electronic system is carried out under the aid of the computer. An estimation with a high usability can be realized in high precision in an upstream stage, namely an earlier designating stage. The acquired design information is stored as know-how, and this stored know-how can be succeeded to the design information in a downstream stage. In this CAD system, a block diagram is edited by a block diagram input/editing unit, and this block diagram contains symbols indicative of independent functions, and lines used to connect these symbols. These symbols and lines are represented as the same design information. Both design information and parameter information may be applied to the symbols and the lines in a similar manner. Furthermore, the respective design information owns such a structure having a plurality of detailed level information with an architecture idea of a layer.

Abstract: A graphic editor for performing various editing processes such as inputting, moving, copying, and deleting a graphic pattern and a line on a display screen in a graphic editing system such as a CAD, etc. The graphic editor realizes a user interface for simultaneously selecting an object to be processed and a function, thus improving the efficiency of the editing operation. The editor comprises an area specifier for specifying an area as a rectangle having a diagonal whose start and end points are specified by the area specifier, and a graphic operating unit for determining the existence of a symbol or a line in a specified area to give a predetermined process on the symbol or the line. The predetermined processes can be identified by determining whether or not a symbol and/or a whole or a part of a line exists in or crosses a specified area.
