Abstract: A bicycle includes: a frame that supports a front wheel and a rear wheel; a pair of up-and-down links that are respectively provided on a right side and a left side of the frame in a front view; a pair of pedals that are respectively supported by the pair of up-and-down links; and a drive unit that drives the rear wheel. A front end of each of the pair of up-and-down links is pivotally attached to the frame, and a rear end of each of the pair of up-and-down links is respectively connected to each of the pair of pedals. The drive unit includes a pair of crank arms that are arranged point-symmetrically at an angle of 180° in a front view, and a force that depresses each of the pair of pedals so that the pair of pedals alternately swing is transmitted to the pair of crank arms through the pair of up-and-down links. The bicycle further includes a horizontally-holding mechanism that holds each of the pair of pedals approximately horizontally while rotating of each of the pair of up-and-down links.

Abstract: To realize a random number generating circuit that is optimum for a liquid crystal display device that is used in a terminal device that includes a display/input component. A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a control circuit and a random number generating circuit, the random number generating circuit comprises plural shift registers, an output circuit and a register that stores an initial value, and the random number generating circuit is equipped with plural initial values, whereby the randomness of the random numbers is improved. Further, it becomes possible to increase and output frequencies by the output circuit because it is possible to output respectively different random numbers from the plural shift registers.

Abstract: Provided is an illumination device capable of providing uniform illumination along a specific direction. The illumination device is provided with a shaped member which extends in a specific direction, which has an opening section that opens towards a front side in a front/rear direction perpendicular to the specific direction, and which has a curved shape that protrudes towards a rear side; a base member which has translucent properties and is accommodated inside the shaped member while being exposed to the outer side of the shaped member via the opening section of the shaped member; a covering member which has light blocking properties and covers at least a portion of a front side portion of the base member from the front; and light emission means. The light emission means are fixed inside a recess section of the base member so as to be separated from each other in the specific direction.

Abstract: Internal shift registers, bit latch circuits, line latch circuits and output circuits are divided in units of an arbitrary number of outputs, and the data and clock signals to be transferred to their block are likewise divided. A standby function is given in a unit of the divisions, so that only a circuit for executing a data latch function is operated to lower the power consumption.

Abstract: A lock nut device having a nut setting member fitted loosely to an outer circumferential part of a threaded shaft; split nuts divided in two in axial direction and fitted to envelope the outside of the nut setting member and fitted to the threaded shaft, the slit nuts having inner threads and a locking groove into which the nut setting member, at an inner surface of the nut setting member, is fitted and having an outer tapered thread at an outer circumferential part; and a lock nut having an inner threaded tapered surface in threaded engagement with the outer tapered threaded surface of the split nuts. To fix the nut setting member the threaded shaft, the nut setting member is placed around the outer circumferential part of the screw shaft and tightened to a prescribed position. The split nuts divided in two are fitted so as to envelop the outer circumference of the screw shaft and the nut setting member.

Abstract: A hydraulic-pneumatic cylinder device of the invention comprises a tubular housing closed at both ends, and an actuating piston slidably guided in the housing and connected to a piston rod. A pair of hydraulic units, each of which comprises a pair of volume-variable liquid chambers in communication with each other through a flow control passage, are arranged within the housing on both sides of the piston to act thereon in opposite axial directions. A pair of air chambers, which are selectively connectable to an air supply source, are also provided within the housing to act on the respective hydraulic units. Operation of the cylinder device can be reliably adjusted by a flow regulating valve provided at each flow control passage.
