Abstract: Printed matter including a viewed-page detection electrode provided to a primary surface of a first printed medium among a plurality of bound printed media, the viewed-page detection electrode being so disposed that, when the printed matter is closed, at least part of the electrode provided to a first page overlaps with an electrode provided to a second page facing the first page; a selected-area detection electrode provided to the primary surface and located at a position different from the viewed-page detection electrode; a first determination unit connected to the viewed-page detection electrode to determine a page that is currently open based on capacitance generated in the viewed-page detection electrode; and a second determination unit connected to the selected-area detection electrode to determine whether the selected-area detection electrode of the open page has been touched by a user based on capacitance generated in the selected-area detection electrode.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a cell monitoring device that performs monitoring of a cell module under control of a battery management device (BMD), includes a communication controller and a control device. The communication controller is capable of being connected to BMD through a communication line. The control device performs an activation processing of the communication controller at a time of initialization, and controls the cell monitoring device. The control device performs a reboot processing of the communication controller in a period shorter than a period of detecting an error condition of the communication controller by BMD when a second voltage drops to be below an operation allowable voltage of the communication controller in a state in which a first voltage is above a certain operation allowable voltage. The first voltage represents a power supply voltage of the control device. The second voltage represents a power supply voltage of the communication controller.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic pen including a rod-like member that includes a pen tip at a front and is supported movably in a longitudinal direction, an electronic component, at least a portion of which is provided on a rear side of the rod-like member opposite to a side on which the pen tip is included, a casing that has a tubular shape and stores the rod-like member and the electronic component, and a transmission member that is provided in a space interposed between the electronic component and an inner circumferential surface of the casing and transmits an externally received force at a rear of the rod-like member to move the rod-like member in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic composition includes a Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3—PbTiO3—PbZrO3 ternary solid solution system composition as the major component, and further contains 0.05 to 3.0 mass % of Ni (in terms of NiO) and 0.01 to 1.0 mass % of Ag (in terms of AgO). The piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic composition can be used to form a piezoelectric/electrostrictive portion having excellent mechanical strength, and excellent piezoelectric/electrostrictive characteristics as well with seldom dielectric breakdown even under an application of a high electric field, at a relatively low firing temperature.

Abstract: An electron emitter includes an emitter layer composed of a dielectric material, a first electrode disposed onto a first surface of the emitter layer, and a second electrode disposed onto the first surface, inside, or onto a second surface opposite to the first surface of the emitter layer. A microscopic recess is disposed on a surface of the first electrode. Alternatively, an opening is disposed in the first electrode, the opening exposing the first surface of the emitter layer to the outside of the electron emitter, and a plurality of microscopic protrusions are disposed along the thickness direction of the first electrode at an inner edge of the opening.

Abstract: An appliance for making adjustment for good limb positions, including: a base seat which is adjustable in height at one end thereof in the up-down directions, a neck part adjustment part which is attached to the base seat so as to be adjustable in height and which is adjustable in angles for a tip end which is opposite from the end that is attached to the base seat in the top and bottom directions, and a pair of adjustment parts for a dorsal surface of a scapula which have a triangle vertical cross section and can turn in all directions and in a horizontal direction from the base seat.

Abstract: A syringe serves also as an ampule and saves labor in transferring contained liquid from an ampule container to a syringe and is not bulky when disposing it. The syringe has a piston integrally molded in a bellows-like cylindrical portion sealingly containing liquid medicine. Pleated reinforcing portions are longitudinally provided at several positions on the bellows portion. Furthermore, retainers are provided to retain a contracted state of the bellows-like cylindrical portion. The piston has a depression formed in a rear portion thereof for pressing by a finger. A needle portion is fitted into the leading end of a cylindrical barrel portion of the bellows. A projection is provided inside the needle portion so as to break a seal sealing liquid medicine and the leading end of the barrel portion of the syringe may be threadingly fitted to a three-way cock for drip infusion.

Abstract: A shock absorbing wall construction makes it possible to prevent the car from rolling over and protect the car occupant's head and neck in case of car crashes. The shock absorbing wall construction has a main shock absorber part or portion having an elastic and solid body and sub-shock absorber part or portion which is mounted on the upper front surface of the main shock absorber part. The lower front surface of the main shock absorber part curves concavely upward and forwardly outward from a lower end to its center to prevent the car from rolling over. The sub-shock absorber part projects forwardly along the length of the lower front surface and includes one or more air rooms or chambers inside it and piercing air vent holes which extend through the air chamber sidewalls so as to protect the passenger's head and neck.
