Abstract: A bicycle pedal assembly has a cleat releasably coupled to a pedal by a cleat engagement mechanism formed on an upper surface of its pedal body. The pedal body has a front end configured and arranged to include a sole guide portion that assists the rider in rotating the pedal body about its pedal shaft. In one embodiment, the sole guide portion is formed by a first concaved sole receiving recess located in a tip surface of the pedal body and a second concaved sole receiving recess located on the upper surface of the pedal body adjacent to the tip surface. Alternatively, the concaved sole receiving recesses can be replaced with either a pair of laterally spaced projections located on at the front end of the pedal body, or a V-shaped tip surface.

Abstract: In a tablet device incorporating a combined display and input, in order to correct a deviation between a position recognized by the device and a position indicated by the user caused by an arrangement of external electrodes outside an indication range, the indication range is divided into a plurality of correction regions, and different corrections are carried out in the respective regions. More specifically, in a region in which detected coordinates deviate, in the vicinity of a portion where scan electrodes converge on driver IC, a position in the x axis direction having the largest deviation is set as coordinates X(1) to X(M-1). These coordinates are used as boundary coordinates of a correction region in the x axis direction. On the other hand, boundary coordinates .+-.Y(1) to .+-.Y(N) in the y axis direction are set according to the distances from driver ICs.

Abstract: A coordinate inputting apparatus has a separating circuit, a cable and a position indicating pen. The separating circuit has a low pass filter for removing an alternating current component from a signal transmitted to a signal line and a band pass filter for passing only a position information signal in a predetermined frequency band with respect to the signal transmitted to the signal line. The cable is constructed by a signal line, a switching signal line and a ground line. The signal line is used to supply power to the position indicating pen and transmit a detecting signal from the position indicating pen to each of an X-coordinate detecting circuit and a Y-coordinate detecting circuit. The position indicating pen has a low pass filter for removing an alternating current component from a signal transmitted through the signal line and a band pass filter for passing only a position information signal in a predetermined frequency band.
