  • Publication number: 20150138107
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic device having a position detection function, the electronic device being capable of reducing consumption of electric current without losing operability. A detected information output section (5) (i) temporarily retains first detected information selected from detected information in accordance with control of a timing control section, and (ii) sequentially outputs, at a second cycle which is larger than a first cycle, a detected information group having the first detected information and second detected information selected from the detected information other than the first detected information.

  • Publication number: 20140285530
    Abstract: A mobile phone (1) which displays a scrollable screen includes a degraded operation setting section (104). In a case where a scrollable screen is being displayed when an operation input for instructing a scrolling is accepted, the degraded operation setting section (104) inhibits degraded operation for a predetermined time period and, in a case where a scrollable screen is not displayed, the degraded operation setting section (104) causes the process to be carried out in the degraded state.

  • Patent number: 8207386
    Abstract: Rubber-like or rubber-like-material-containing articles contain or are made from hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoids or modified products thereof. These rubber-like or rubber-like-material-containing articles include a rubber-like elastic article made from a hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid or a modified product thereof. A polymer obtained by reacting a natural polyisoprenoid with hydrogen in a solvent in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, for example, can be used as the hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid. The hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid preferably has a degree of hydrogenation of 50% or more. The hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid preferably has a weight-average molecular weight of 20×104 or more and a molecular-weight distribution of 2.0 or more. The rubber-like or rubber-like-material-containing articles have excellent heat resistance and weather resistance, and are also excellent in view of resources and environment, because they use plant-derived raw materials.

  • Patent number: 7617479
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and computer instructions for generating service frameworks are provided by aspects of the present invention. One aspect of the present invention provides a system library, which includes strongly typed classes that enterprise applications may use in order to obtain code assist and compile time checking from IDE tools typically used by enterprise application developers. Another aspect of the present invention provides the ability to define platform independent models that enable service use cases in order to determine what basic services are needed by the enterprise application. Yet another aspect of the present invention includes an integrated generator that generates the strongly typed components and skeleton code from the platform independent models by applying best practice pattern usage for the target platform currently used with the system library functions.
