Abstract: An operation method and an operation apparatus for multi-system refrigerators, and a refrigerating apparatus. When gas compressed by a single compressor is supplied to a plurality of refrigerators through valves provided for the individual refrigerators, the opening/closing frequencies of the individual valves are slightly shifted to one another. As a result, with a simple constitution, the performances of the individual refrigerators are balanced without observing valve timings.

The program startup apparatus automatically starts up a predetermined application program stored in the electronic machine. The apparatus has startup condition storage devices for storing a startup condition preset by the user. The apparatus also has a startup sequence control device for starting up the predetermined application program upon determining that the status of the electronic machine matches the startup condition stored in the startup condition storage devices.

Abstract: A speaker system excellent in reproduction in bass range, which comprises a reinforcing post 3a to abut against the back side of a speaker unit 5 installed in a front cabinet 2. The reinforcing post 3a is formed integrally in a back cabinet 3, and is fixed with a cover 4. In this constitution, unwanted vibrations generated in the back cabinet 3, cover 4, and speaker unit 5 due to rear release wave b can be suppressed.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a processing mode is switched on the basis of speed of change of coordinate data which is inputted by coordinate data input means comprising a pen and a tablet, the speed of change of the coordinate data being detected during a period over which the pen is pressed down on the tablet, the coordinate data being inputted by electrostatic capacitance between the pen and the tablet, the electrostatic capacitance being effective up to a predetermined distance between the pen and the tablet. This allows the speed of the pen to be determined during a first period when the pen is contacting the tablet, and/or during a second period when the pen is just out of contact with the tablet.
