Abstract: The present invention makes it possible for sounding of an inspection location on an outer wall of a building or the like to be performed using a simple operation. A user interface device accepts an input for designating an inspection location. The mobile robot device flies autonomously and moves to the inspection location, on the basis of the input into the user interface device and the current location of the mobile robot device. The mobile robot device inspects the inspection location using an inspection means such as a sounding means.

Abstract: An output pulse of a flip flop is delayed in a delay inverter circuit before supplied to an input terminal of a level shifter. Then, an output pulse of the next stage flip flop is supplied to a reset terminal of the first flip flop and also to an enable terminal of the level shifter. Further, the level shifter output a sampling pulse with a beginning end equal to the beginning end of the pulse supplied to the input terminal and a terminal and equal to the beginning and of the pulse supplied to the enable terminal. With this arrangement, the subject invention provides a pulse output circuit, a driving circuit for a display device using the pulse output circuit, a display device and a pulse output method, that reduce delay of the terminal end of the pulse in sequentially outputting pulses from plural output terminals.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit device that performs a certain processing operation with respect to an input signal by referring to a reference voltage and outputs the result is caused to have a function of switching the reference voltage, whereby a circuit device from which a stable output can be obtained is disclosed. The circuit device includes a comparator and a reference voltage setting circuit. The comparator compares an input voltage fed from outside with a reference voltage selected from a reference voltage set including a plurality of voltage values that are different from one another.
