Abstract: A flexible area 2 is joined at one end via a thermal insulation area 7 to a semiconductor substrate 3 which becomes a frame and at an opposite end to a moving element 5. The thermal insulation area 7 is made of a thermal insulation material a resin such as polyimide or a fluoridated resin. The flexible area 2 is made up of a thin portion 2S and a thin film 2M different in thermal expansion coefficient. When a diffused resistor 6 formed on the surface of the thin portion 2S is heated, the flexible area 2 is displaced because of the thermal expansion difference between the thin portion 2S and the thin film 2M, and the moving element 5 is displayed with respect to the semiconductor substrate 3.

Abstract: A cavity plate is constructed by laminating, using an adhesive, a plurality of thin plates with ink passages, such as pressure chambers and through holes. In the periphery of the ink passages, escape grooves and holes communicating with the escape grooves are formed such that the remaining adhesive is guided into the escape grooves without entering the ink passages and that air trapped in the adhesive is discharged through the escape holes to the outside. Accordingly, a plurality of thin plates are firmly bonded to each other by a layer of adhesive, while the ink passages remain intact to allow a good flow of ink.

Abstract: In a camera having a camera body unit constituted by combining a plurality of units, the camera configuration is realized so as to allow to easily remove only a lens frame unit from the camera body unit before the other units (for example, a strobe unit, a finder unit, a film feed unit and the like) when the camera is disassembled to repair or replace the lens frame unit by constituting so that the lens frame unit having a photographing optical system can be mounted independently.

Abstract: A magnetic storage apparatus is provided with unit for identifying the frequency of overwriting storage at the time of overwriting in the same data sector, and depending on the frequency of overwriting, a code for coding or a scrambler initial value is changed at every overwrite operation. The modulation code has the same code rate so that a data length does not change at every write operation. A number corresponding to the present modulation code of each data sector is stored on a memory, and the aforesaid number is also written as an additional bit in the data sector on a medium. Data are read only when the modulation coding number on the memory and the modulation coding number on the medium, which are compared, agree with each other. If they do not agree, offset reading is performed until they agree, and then the read operation is performed.

Abstract: A film cartridge loader for a camera includes a film cartridge chamber having an opening into which a film cartridge can be loaded, a film cartridge chamber lid, a lid locking unit, a lid close detecting unit, an ejecting unit, a film cartridge interceptive door opening/closing unit, a moving unit, a movement detecting unit, a driving source, and a driving control unit. The film cartridge chamber lid is movable for opening or closing the cartridge chamber opening. The lid locking unit locks the film cartridge chamber lid in a closed state. The lid close detecting unit detects that the film cartridge chamber lid is locked by the lid locking unit. The ejecting unit ejects the film cartridge from the film cartridge chamber. The film cartridge interceptive door opening/closing unit opens or closes the interceptive door of the film cartridge. The moving unit moves the ejecting unit responsively to opening actions performed by the film cartridge interceptive door opening/closing unit.

Abstract: A camera uses a film cartridge for automatically guiding out a film when the film cartridge is mounted into a film cartridge chamber. A film cartridge unit has the film cartridge chamber. A rail plate unit is formed independently of the film cartridge unit and is also mechanically connected to the film cartridge unit. The rail plate unit faces the film for guiding the move of the film from the film cartridge chamber. The film cartridge unit has a guide route for securely guiding the film from the film cartridge chamber to the rail plate unit.

Abstract: In order to eliminate the unnecessary power consumption caused by the increase in frequency associated with wireless communication systems using electromagnetic induction techniques, the wireless communication system of the present invention modulates and transmits a magnetic field in accordance with information. A close-range receiver is provided with an amorphous magnetic impedance element having an impedance which varies in accordance with the modulated characteristic of the magnetic field. Use of an amorphous magnetic impedance element in the receiver results in a reduction in power and increase in sensitivity of the device.
