The hanger bar extends parallel to the roll in a spaced relationship when accommodated within the housing, while the two extension robe assemblies extend, when in the folded-down positions, in line with each other in a direction parallel to the roll and in a spaced relationship thereto. A bar clip is mounted on a second end of each of the extension robe assemblies.

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.

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: 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: 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: 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. A tape width sensing section senses the width of the label tape. A control section senses 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.
