  • Patent number: 5422442
    Abstract: The mechanism for containing an input pen is provided with a pen holder having a shape of pipe, which contains an input pen having substantially a shape of stick, keeping the back end of the input pen exposed. The pen holder is provided with a pen stopper to couple with the input pen. There is provided a locking groove which is coupled with the pen stopper. There is provided a plate spring which supplies force to the pen stopper to the inside of the pen holder. At least one of the pen stopper and the locking groove is so shaped that the pen stopper is supplied force against the force of the plate spring when the input pen is supplied force in the discharge direction. In this arrangement, the mechanism for containing an input pen can be made simpler since the input pen can be taken out without a releasing button conventionally needed. Therefore, since the number of parts and the number of manufacturing procedures in assembly decrease, manufacturing cost can be reduced.

    Abstract: A superheterodyne receiver comprises a variable frequency oscillator of PLL (phase-locked loop) type for implementing a first local oscillator and a variable frequency oscillator not of PLL type for implementing a second local oscillator. At least the frequency of a first locally generated signal is varied at reception to vary a received frequency, the frequency of the first locally generated signal is set at frequency calibration to a level equal to the frequency of a first intermediate-frequency signal, the second intermediate-frequency signal is frequency-converted by a BFO signal to a signal having a frequency of voice band, and the frequency of a second locally generated signal is calibrated to set the frequency of the frequency-converted signal to a specified level.

  • Patent number: 5261273
    Abstract: The pneumatic pressure in a tire on a wheel of a vehicle is introduced into a pressure chamber positioned at a central axis about which the tire is rotatable through a communication passage defined in the wheel. When the pneumatic pressure in the pressure chamber varies, a diaphragm or bellows attached over the pressure chamber is elastically displaced, axially moving a slide bar extending axially through a wheel shaft on which the wheel is supported. The movement of the slide bar displaces a ferromagnetic member in a coil, whose inductance then varies. The change in the coil inductance is detected by an electronic control unit, which transmits a signal to a display unit.

  • Patent number: 4982098
    Abstract: Disclosed is speed compensated intensifying screen which has a layer of phosphor and a protective layer superposed sequentially on a substrate and further has a light-absorbing layer capable of absorbing part of the light emitted from the layer of phosphor superposed thereon. By this light-absorbing layer, a plurality of regions differing in speed are formed within the layer of phosphor. In the plurality of regions, the speed is continuously changed across the borderlines between the regions. This continuous change in density across the borderlines prevents the borderlines between the regions of speed from appearing as line patterns in the produced X-ray radiograph. The intensifying screen of the grade adapted for X-ray radiography of the chest effects proper speed correction by incorporating therein a plurality of regions of speed formed so as to conform to the various internal organs in the chest such as the upper and lower mediastinums, the hilums of the lung, and the lungfields.

  • Patent number: 4912408
    Abstract: Disclosed is a distance measuring system suitably usable in a semiconductor microcircuit manufacturing lithographic apparatus such as an aligner or a stepper, for measuring the position or the distance of movement of a movable object such as a mask stage or a wafer stage. The system includes a magnetic field producing portion such as a magnet for producing a predetermined magnetic field, a superconducting quantum interference device coupled to the mask stage or the wafer stage. Further, there are provided a magnetic flux detecting portion for outputting signals corresponding to changes in the magnetic flux, in the magnetic field, passing through the superconducting quantum interference device and a signal processing unit for processing the output signals of the magnetic flux detecting portion to detect the position or the distance of movement of the mask stage or the wafer stage.

  • Patent number: 4890378
    Abstract: A magnetic head in which a first magnetic film made of a material of high saturation magnetic flux density is deposited on the surface of a block made of a high permeability material and which contains a groove for winding. A nonmagnetic film made of a nonmagnetic material and serving as a magnetic gap is formed on the first magnetic film; and a second magnetic film made of a material of high saturation magnetic flux density is further formed on the nonmagnetic film. A reinforcing block is arranged on the second magnetic film and has a nonmagnetic material portion exposed to a slide surface of a recording medium. The high permeability material block, the first magnetic film and the second magnetic film together constitute a magnetic core, and the second magnetic film is bonded with the reinforcing block.

  • Patent number: 4506220
    Abstract: A magnetoresistive effect thin film magnetic sensor has a temperature compensating magnetoresistive effect (MR) element arranged non-parallel to a signal detecting MR element to prevent the temperature compensating MR element from being influenced by an external magnetic signal field. Alternatively, it has an L-shaped temperature compensating MR element arranged closely to the signal detecting MR element to prevent the temperature compensating MR element from being influenced by the external magnetic signal field. It further has a magnet member arranged closely to or in contact with the temperature compensating MR element to enhance a positional precision of the temperature compensation and reduce a time lag.

  • Patent number: 4443826
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to improvements in a perpendicular magnetic recording-reproducing head. One of the improvements comprises the use of a magneto-resistive effect element to form the main pole of the magnetic head. This feature of the invention enables a stable and faithful reproduction of information recorded in a magnetic recording medium up to the shortest wavelength and to obtain a sufficiently large reproducing output signal. Another improvement comprises the use of such magneto-resistive effect elements in layers. The multilayer structure permits production of a large reproducing output and also an optimum S/N ratio even if the width of track is small.

  • Patent number: 4438470
    Abstract: A process for making magnetic reluctance effect type magnetic heads comprises forming the magnetic sensor, first lead and second lead sections in series by use of the same material. The noise in the magnetic head is reduced, yet the output is increased by making the first lead section of a width larger than that of the magnetic sensor and second lead sections. The reproducing sensitivity of the magnetic head is increased by forming a plurality of magnetic sensor sections in series within a rectangular area. The control of the magnetic characteristics of the head are controlled for providing less dispersion by providing a substrate on which a magnetic reluctance effect type material varying in electric resistance in response to any magnetic field is formed into a film, the substrate being optionally etched by the use of photolithography to form the magnetic sensor sections, the first lead section and the second lead section on the substrate in given configurations.

  • Patent number: 4369521
    Abstract: Radio receiving apparatus having a receiving unit including an RF stage and a signal processing state, the latter producing an audio frequency signal in response to the RF signal supplied to the RF stage. The receiving unit also includes a jack having at least first and second contacts, the first contact being supplied with the audio frequency signal and the second contact being coupled to a reference potential by impedance means which presents a relatively high impedance to a RF signal. Headphones are connectable to the receiving unit by conducting leads which terminate in a plug that is insertable into the jack. The plug has at least two conductive portions which, when the plug is inserted into the jack, connect to the first and second jack contacts, respectively. The conducting leads which connect the headphones to the plug include at least one signal carrying lead which is connected to the conductive portion of the plug which is connected to the first jack contact and which receives the audio signal.
