Abstract: The magnetic field detector includes an x-axis magnetic sensor, a y-axis magnetic sensor, and a z-axis magnetic sensor for detecting magnetic field components in three orthogonal axis directions. Each of the magnetic sensors includes a magnetic impedance element having an impedance that varies in accordance with an ambient magnetic field and an output circuit configured to output a magnetic field detection value that varies in accordance with the impedance of the magnetic impedance element. The magnetic field detector includes an oscillator configured to supply a common drive signal to the magnetic impedance element of each of the magnetic sensors, wherein each of the magnetic sensors outputs, in response to the drive signal, the magnetic field detection value from the output circuit.

Abstract: A flat tablet case (A) is assembled by joining together a bottom half case (30) having the shape of a rectangular tray and a top half case (10) having the shape of a rectangular tray. A plurality of studs (21 to 25) are formed on the inner surface of the top half case (10), and a plurality of sockets (41 to 45) are formed on the inner surface the bottom half case (30). A hinged cap (50) is formed integrally with the bottom half case (30) in a section of the side wall (31) excluding corners. The hinged cap (50) is provided on its opposite side surfaces with projections (53, 54) which are engaged with and disengaged from cap holding structures (35, 36) formed on the bottom half case (30).

Abstract: A sorting method used with a distributed database having a plurality of first processors for holding partial records of a database that is divided into a plurality of portions and a host processor for accessing to each of the first processors. The method comprises the steps of: assigning a plurality of sections into which the distribution range of key values of records of the database is partitioned to a plurality of second processors in the first processors, and information for representing storage positions of the records to the second processors to which the sections of the key values, to which the records belong, are assigned; and sorting the plurality of key values, which have been received, in the second processors to produce key tables in which the information for representing the storage positions of the records which has been received is registrated together with the sorted key values, as the sorting result.
