Abstract: In a method of detecting a contacting position using a touch panel, a pair of resistance layers formed on two substrates are opposed with a gap. At least one conduction member is provided on one edge of one of the resistance layers and another conduction member is provided on one edge of another resistance layer which extends in a direction perpendicular to the edge of said one of the resistance layer. A constant current source is connected to one conduction member so that when the resistance layers contact at a contacting position, a constant current flows from the conduction member of one of the resistance layers to the conduction member of said another resistance layer through the contacting point. Thus, the coordinate position of the contacting point can be detected by the voltage drops on the respective resistance layers.

Abstract: An inspection method and apparatus for searching a fabric in strip form to find lump type and void type flaws on both faces of the fabric. Strobes and image pickup elements are arranged at opposite sides of the fabric in transportation. The strobes at one side of the fabric are caused to emit light, and the image pickup elements at the same side detect light reflected by the fabric while the image pickup elements at the other side detect light passing through the fabric.

Abstract: A proposal for detecting flaws not defining normal stitches in a knitted fabric. Fabric detection signals are derived from three detectors arranged to correspond to intervals between lines of thread defining stitches. The detection signals are then added with predetermined weights, and the signals thus weighted are subjected to adding and/or subtracting operations. As a result, the flaws not defining normal stitches in the knitted fabric are detected. According to this proposal, reliable detection is made of not only large flaws such as circular holes but narrow flaws such as runs also.
