Abstract: A touch panel has a substrate with a front surface, a detection region provided on the front surface, and a wiring region provided on the front surface outside the detection region. Detection electrodes are formed in the detection region and are electrically insulated from one another. Wiring electrodes are formed in the wiring region and are electrically connected to the detection electrodes for transmitting a detection signal. A shield electrode is formed on an outer periphery of the front surface of the substrate for shielding the detection electrodes and the wiring electrodes against external noise.

Abstract: Provided is a touch panel including a substrate (2) having a detection region (4) provided on a front surface (3) thereof and a wiring region (6) provide outside the detection region (4), in which the detection region (4) has a plurality of detection electrodes (5) for detecting the presence of a conductor (19) formed therein, and the wiring region (6) has wiring electrodes (7) for transmitting a detection signal formed therein. The touch panel further includes a first shield electrode for shielding against noise from outside, the first shield electrode being formed on an outer periphery of the substrate (2).

Abstract: A wave power generating system for generating electricity using natural wave power, includes wave energy converters for converting wave energy into air pressure, a constant air pressure tank for storing the air pressure from the wave energy converters to equalize the fluctuation of the air pressure, an air turbine stationarily driven by the equalized air pressure, and an electric generator for generating stable electricity using the rotating power of the air turbine. The wave energy converters are settled to the bottom of the sea and are sufficiently tall to function as wave dissipation facilities. The air pressure in the constant air pressure tank is automatically controlled toward a target value by a controller and the target value is calculated by the controller in accordance with measured values of wave amplitude and period and the current air pressure of the constant air pressure tank.
