Abstract: A mobile terminal (1) includes a telephone communication control section (23) which makes a call by use of a details screen (320b) for a person to contact and causes a screen (330c) showing that a call is being made to be displayed; and a telephone communication establishment determining section (23a) which, in a case where a telephone communication has been established, terminates a telephone book application (32), and which, in a case where no telephone communication has been established, after the display of the screen (330c) showing that a call is being made, causes the details screen for a person to contact to be displayed. This makes it possible to prevent (i) a display of personal information registered in a telephone book DB and (ii) a decrease in user convenience even in a case where a call is made by use of a screen of a telephone book application.

Abstract: In a conventional computer mouse integrated with a massager, it is necessary to hold the mouse by a hand when massaging the other body positions than a palm. A massager integrated type optical computer mouse is structured such that a bottom surface portion of the optical computer mouse is formed so as to be depressed as a concave shape to a main body side, a massaging vibrator is arranged in a protruding manner at the concavely depressed position, and any one of operational switches of the computer mouse is changed to a switch for turning on or off a power supply to the massaging vibrator, and changing a vibration pattern, by a selection switch. Accordingly, an operator can bring the concavely depressed position of the computer mouse into close contact with an approximately convex body position so as to massage while gripping the computer mouse by a palm.

The box-shaped or plate-shaped battery element is contained in the outer jacket member and has electrode terminals. The cover is molded from resin and is fitted to the first opening. The circuit board is connected to the electrode terminal leads and contained in the cover. At least the electrode terminal leads extends from the first opening. The cover has concave portions on both ends of one longer side. The outer jacket member has cut portions that expose at least the concave portions of the cover. At least a longer side of the cover and the outer jacket member are heat-adhered.

Abstract: A battery pack which can increase of the volumetric efficiency of the battery pack without being contained in a resin mold case is provided. A first laminate material has a concave portion formed by drawing where a battery element is contained. A second laminate material is stacked so as to cover the opening of the concave portion to seal up the periphery of the opening. The first and second laminate materials are bend inwards so as to cover the battery element, and bonded and fixed together by heating. The first laminate material has three-layer structure including a polypropylene layer, a soft aluminum layer, and a nylon layer or PET layer. The second laminate material has a similar structure but includes a hard aluminum layer. Therefore, the second laminate material has enough strength to resist deformation without being contained a cell in a resin mold case.

Abstract: A battery pack and method of manufacturing same are provided. The battery pack can stabilize bending of a lead housed in a space defined by an external package. Leads 2, 3 of a battery element are bonded to a circuit board housed in a top cover 6. A holder 11 is mechanically fitted to the top cover 6, made of resin molded material and produced by injection molding, for example. The edge faces of ribs 12a, 12b, 12c formed on the holder 11 serve as planes which receive the circuit board 4 in the top cover 6. The top cover 6 and the holder 11 fitted to each other are turned 90°, and moved toward the opening in the edge face of the cell 1 while bending the leads 2, 3, which are bent along the contours of both the sidewalls and bottom surface of the holder 11 and housed in a space defined by the external package. The circumferential surface of the top cover 6 is bonded by heat to the inner surface of the external package.

Abstract: An apparatus for turning up and down a spectator's seats includes a foot member which is turnably supported within a base frame fixedly mounted on the movable platform. A pair of Y-shaped lock links are supported turnable about a support shaft which extends throught the fore end thereof. The upper portions of the lock links rotatably support a locking and unlocking roller therebetween and this roller serves as a weight. On the other hand, the lower portions of the lock links are formed with a hook respectively. A locking angle is fixedly secured to both the side walls of the base frame at the position located behind foot member in such a manner that the hooks are engaged to the locking angle to firmly hold the foot member in the upright standing posture when the roller is lowered by turning movement. Engagement of the hooks to the locking angle can be released by abutment of the roller against the front nose on the upper movable platform during backward movement of the first-mentioned movable platform.

Abstract: A new apparatus for turning up and down spectators' seats for a telescopic seating system of the type including a plurality of movable platforms which are arranged in tiers is disclosed. The apparatus essentially comprises a frame fixedly mounted on a movable platform, a foot member fixedly secured to the housing of a seat, a stopper link turnably supported on the foot member, an unlocking member turnably supported on the frame and a leaf spring operatively connected to the rear end of the stopper link. The foot member is formed with projections at the rear end part thereof which are adapted to abut against a front nose of the adjacent upper movable platform as the first-mentioned movable platform is displaced forwardly to the extended position. The foot member assumes the upright standing position by turning up on the frame together with the housing of the seat.
