Abstract: The work-piece-processing machine of the present invention is compact and has two tools for precisely processing a work-piece. In the work-piece-processing machine, the work-piece is processed by a first tool and a second tool. Diameter of the second tool is shorter than that of the first tool. A first motor rotates the first tool. A second motor rotates the second tool. The first motor and the second motor are attached to a rotatable member. A rotating unit rotates the rotatable member in a vertical plane.

Abstract: An information input apparatus, an information input method, and an information input sheet which a user can easily operate without directly having to become aware of hardware are provided. An information input sheet includes a display area having an input information area and an identification area in which an identification code of the input information is provided. The identification code of the input information is provided in the display area as a target pattern having a rotation mode in which a code is defined by a directional orientation of the target pattern. An image pickup unit generates imaging information from imaging the information input sheet. The imaging information includes imaging information of the identification area of the information input sheet. Based on this imaging information of the identification area, the rotation mode of the target pattern, as recognized by an image recognition unit, is determined. The rotation mode specifies the identification code of the information input sheet.

Abstract: An information input method and interface, which can easily be operated without direct awareness of hardware, are provided. Image recognition is performed with an image recognition unit on image information obtained from imaging a target pattern on an object surface and an access indication pattern created by a user. The input patterns are created with an image pickup unit. The target pattern is associated with corresponding information stored in a storage unit. An access indication input which specifies a subset of the information is generated by performing image recognition on the access indication pattern. A control operation corresponding to the access indication input is performed in response to the access indication input by a control unit.
