A time-difference detection circuit detects pulses occurring during a time interval t.sub.1 starting at the leading edge of the transmission pulse and ending at the leading edge of the first clock pulse thereafter and a time interval t.sub.2 starting at the leading edge of the received pulse and ending at the leading edge of the first clock pulse thereafter. The duration of the time interval t between transmission and reception is determined in accordance with the equationt=[A+1/m(B-C)].times.

Abstract: A data recording sheet in which data signals are stored in a polarizable macromolecular material sheet layer with polarization different locally in the direction of the surfaces of said sheet layer. The sheet layer causes pyroelectric or piezo-electric polarization through polarization operation, and the data signals thus stored are reproduced in a pyroelectric or piezo-electric mode. The polarizable macromolecular material sheet layer is laminated through a thin intermediate electrode layer on a macromolecular substrate layer whose Young's modulus is greater than that of the sheet layer.

Abstract: A piezoelectric switch is disclosed for providing a continuous output in response to a contact pressure. An oscillator is brought into contact with a thermoplastic piezoelectric film, having electrodes on both surfaces thereof, via an elastic wave absorbing member.The oscillations cause constantly changing stress in the film, resulting in a constantly varying electric field between the electrodes. The magnitude of the electric field depends on the contact pressure between the oscillator and the piezoelectric element.
