Abstract: In a resistive-film type touch panel having two resistive-film sheet, a first resistive-film sheet has a power supply means connected to it which generates in it a voltage gradient and the second resistive-film sheet detects a voltage which corresponds to a pressed position on the touch panel. Voltage information corresponding to pressed position coordinate values detected from the two resistive-film sheet is transferred to an A-D conversion means via a switching means for determination of the pressed position on the panel. A non-display region of the panel is provided with function keys, and the panel is additionally provided with a notification means and a non-display region pressing detection means, the notification means making notification of the output from the non-display region pressing detection means, which indicates that the non-display region has been pressed, without intervention of the analog-digital conversion means, directly to a processing/control circuit.

Abstract: A single shell side-view mirror assembly is disclosed which provides improved aerodynamic features and improved vibrational resistance characterized by an aerodynamically domed shell structure, interchangeable mirror elements, an electrically activated vibration dampening element and a static vibration dampening elements. A mirror unit of the mirror assembly is disposed within a shell housing but is coupled directly to and supported by a support member mounting plate such that the mirror unit is substantially rigidly coupled to a support member without being supported by the shell housing.

Abstract: A high-frequency amplifier that can reduce the size, weight and price of a device that contains this high-frequency amplifier. The high-frequency amplifier has, for example, an input matching circuit of the low-pass type and an input matching circuit of the high-pass type, connected in parallel and provided at the input side or terminal of a power amplification circuit. Matching is thereby performed corresponding to either one of two kinds of transmission input signals, whose frequencies are different from each other, by the input matching circuit of the low-pass type, and by the input matching circuit of the high-pass type, respectively. Moreover, for example, an output matching circuit of the low-pass type and an output matching circuit of the high-pass type are connected in parallel and provided at the output side or terminal of the power amplification circuit.

Abstract: A method for automatically exchanging a stamper unit with another one for an injection molding machine which is operated for injection-molding a disc or the like.

Abstract: A composition containing a water soluble or water swellable polyelectrolyte or salts thereof in a dentifrice base or other oral compositions which can be used for relieving pain and discomfort caused by hypersensitive teeth. The salts can be single or mixed partial salts of the polyelectrolyte.
