Abstract: An exercise level of difficulty data output apparatus outputs exercise level of difficulty of an exercise which a user takes, as exercise level of difficulty data, which can be used for general purposes in the exercise physiology. Using the apparatus, the user can objectively learn the exercise level of difficulty of his (or her) exercise for keeping himself healthy or for developing his physical strength. The exercise level of difficulty data output apparatus calculates exercise level of difficulty data from counted pulse number of the user and his age, and outputs the exercise level of difficulty data. Further, the exercise level of difficulty data output apparatus calculates and displays a predetermined pulse-number range indicating the most suitable exercise level of difficulty for the age of the user.

Abstract: In a telephone system, a memory dial mode is set by operating a mode key of a radio telephone, and then a selection key is manipulated to select a public telephone number of an opposite (called) radio telephone. Thereafter, when a dialing key is operated, a dialing output process to the public telephone number selectively displayed on a LCD (liquid crystal display) unit is performed. When a telephone ending key is operated while a telephone line is not connected, a private telephone number of the radio telephone previously stored into a RAM is displayed on the LCD unit. Subsequently, when the dialing key is operated, another dialing output process to the private telephone number displayed on the LCD unit is executed.

In a first aspect, when an external control signal is received and stored for any key, a key for which no control signal is stored is detected from the RAM and displayed on the display. When a control signal is transmitted, a key for which a control signal is stored in the RAM is detected and displayed on the display. In a second aspect, when an external control signal is received, a detector detects the contents of the received control signal, which are then displayed on the display.

Abstract: A data reading apparatus reads data of dots from a recording sheet on which data is recorded in the form of a mesh pattern, and decodes the read data into binary data. The data reading apparatus has an image sensor to read black/white levels of dots of the mesh pattern using the image sensor and to binarize the read levels by a hardware component or CPU processing according to software. An image can have a high recording density by minimizing a dot size.

Abstract: A processor outputs a state signal representing the process state toga reset circuit. Upon reception of a reset signal from an external reset switch, the reset circuit outputs the reset signal to the reset terminal of the processor under the condition that the state signal allows a reset operation. The reset circuit also has a counter for starting a count operation upon reception of an externally input reset signal. Even when the processor is in a runaway state and cannot output the state signal for allowing the reset operation, a forced reset signal is supplied to the processor after a predetermined time is counted by the counter.

Abstract: Assuming that 4-system communication with signals A, B, C and D is executed for each frame and one period consists of four frames for the signals A, B, C and D, and signals AS, BS, CS and DS, modulated with spread codes representing the systems to which the signals belong are inserted, a terminal which is about to start communication sequentially tunes the reception frequency to frequencies 1, 2 and 3, detects the signals AS, BS, CS and DS, modulated with the common spread codes, from the received signals per frame over more than one period, acquires the signal levels then, determines from the results of those sequential processes how many spread spectrum signals occupy each frame, and selects the optimal frequency channel that has the least radio interference. It is therefore possible to detect the occupying state of a communication channel and prevent communication from being disabled by an interference signal.

Abstract: A data storage apparatus has a data memory for storing schedule data. The schedule data includes date data, schedule contents data and pictorial symbol data representing schedule contents. When the schedule data is searched, pictorial symbols are read out from the schedule data stored in the data memory and the read-out pictorial symbols are displayed. If one of the displayed pictorial symbols is selected, the schedule data associated with the selected pictorial symbol is read out and displayed.

Abstract: An image displaying apparatus stores plural image data and displays one of the image data, which image data represent a growing plant (animal) or represent a series of motions of an animal. The apparatus further stores plural element data for growing the plant (animal). When one of the element data is selected, another image data of the plant (animal) is displayed in place of the previously displayed imaged data to show how the plant (animal) grew up responsive to the selected element data. The apparatus is provided with a sensor for detecting motion of a user. Detecting the motion of the user, the apparatus displays new image data representing a motion of the animal in place of the previously displayed image data to show how the animal reacts to the user's motion.

The apparatus selectively designates a pattern of at least one of a plurality of parts on the basis of a personality character of the person, which personality character is designated by a character designating unit.

Abstract: An electronic device uses a pseudo-SRAM having a self-refreshing function, as a memory, and a refresh timing signal having a predetermined period is supplied to the pseudo-SRAM in the operation state of the electronic device. When no key operation is performed with a keyboard for a predetermined period of time, the electronic device switches into an idle mode to stop supply of an operation clock to a CPU and to stop supply of the timing signal to the pseudo-SRAM. When the supply of the timing signal to the pseudo-SRAM is stopped, the pseudo-SRAM operates the self-refreshing function for holding data with low power consumption. When a key operation is detected in the idle mode, a refresh timing signal having a high frequency is supplied to the pseudo-SRAM for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, the supply of a clock to the CPU is restarted, and the state of the electronic device is returned to a normal operation state.

Abstract: A plurality of types of format data items are stored in a format storage section according to the width of a label tape and the number of lines of print data.

The control section reads from the format storage section a plurality of formats corresponding to the sensed label tape width and the number of lines of print data sensed, and displays them on a display section. The user selects a suitable one from the plurality of formats displayed. The control section causes a printing section to print the entered data on the label tape according to the selected format.

Abstract: An object image creation device and method which combine images of the parts which compose an object into an object image. A storage stores data on a plurality of kinds of images for each of the parts which compose one half of an object. Any images are selected one from among a stored plurality of kinds of images of each of the parts. The selected images of the respective parts are combined into a first half object image. A second half object image symmetrical with the first half object image is produced on the basis of the first half object image. The first and second half object images are combined into a complete object image.

Abstract: An active-matrix liquid crystal display has a drive circuit for driving thin-film transistors. The drive circuit comprises a shift register transmitting a sequence of image data for a single scanning line, latch circuits, tristate output circuits, pixel electrodes, and switching devices each turning on and off a pixel electrode. Each tristate output circuit has an control terminal and an input terminal. When the level of a image data received by the control terminal is high, the tristate output circuit, in response to a high or low potential of a frame signal received by the input terminal, outputs a high or low potential respectively different from those of the frame signal. The switching devices enable the output potential of each tristate output circuit to be charged in the pixel electrodes. During the charge time, the shift register transmits a next sequence of image data.
