Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device allowing for reliable sliding of members that close an opening of a fixed rail. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable with respect to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; a first closure member slidable with respect to the fixed rail and capable of closing at least part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a force from the movable rail to thereby slide; a first engaging portion provided to the first closure member and disengageably engaging with a first engaged portion provided to the movable rail; and a second engaging portion provided to the first closure member and disengageably engaging with a second engaged portion provided to the fixed rail.

Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device in which occurrence of damage of a member closing an opening of a fixed rail can be inhibited. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening opened upward, the opening being arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable relative to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; and a first closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing at least part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a force from the movable rail to thereby slide in a state where an opposed surface opposed to the movable rail is spaced apart from the movable rail via a clearance. The movable rail includes a support portion that supports the first closure member in a slidable manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is one example of a sliding device allowing for reliable sliding of two members closing an opening of a fixed rail. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable relative to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; a first closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a pressing force from the movable rail to thereby slide; and a second closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing part of the opening in cooperation with the first closure member, the second closure member being in sliding contact with the first closure member and receiving a pressing force from the movable rail to thereby slide.

Abstract: Provided is a portable electronic device capable of promptly inputting a character string from the initial screen to create text and capable of launching an e-mail with the text as a message. A control unit executes conversion processing for a first type character if a second key is depressed when controlling so as to display the first type character and a second type character on an LCD display unit, then determines whether or not the text created by the conversion processing is in conformity with the format defined by the application if a third key is depressed and a predetermined application is selected, and adjusts the created text so that the created text is in conformity with the format when determining that the created text is not in conformity with the format.

Abstract: An audio output apparatus includes an audio output unit and a storage unit which stores a predetermined word and a type associated with the word. A controller, upon outputting an electronic document as audio from the audio output unit using speech synthesis, when the electronic document contains the word stored in the storage unit, controls the audio output from the audio output unit according to the type associated with the word.

Abstract: An audio output apparatus comprises an audio output unit which outputs an audio; a storage unit which stores a predetermined word and a type associated with the word; a controller which, upon outputting an electronic document as an audio from the audio output unit using a speed synthesis, when the electronic document contains the word stored in the storage unit, controls the audio output from the audio output according to the type associated with the word.

Abstract: Characteristics of a color encoder can be measured under the same condition as a practical operation without modifying the color encoder as a device under test. A test signal generator generates R, G and B component signals as test signals and they are applied simultaneously to the color encoder. The output amplitudes and/or output phases of the component signals from the test signal generator are adjusted such that the color encoder produces at least one of a luminance signal, an I-axis signal and a Q-axis signal in accordance with a measurement item.
