Abstract: A tablet type computer for radio communication with other radio devices using two or more antennas in which, when sending radio waves, a radio communication control unit switches the antennas so that sending of radio signals is made using the antenna disposed at a position farthest from the operator or disposed at a position where the possibility of a part of the operator body coming in touch with the antenna is the lowest. With this operation, even a tablet type computer can keep away as much as possible a hand or a part of the body of the operator from the antenna which is a source of harmful electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: A coordinate position digitizing system comprises a position determining plate having a plurality of first conductors extending in parallel with one another at regularly spaced intervals. A plurality of second conductors also extend in parallel with one another at regularly spaced intervals and across the first conductors. Driving and controlling means are provided in common to the first conductors and the second conductors for selectively energizing in turn one or more of the first conductors and second conductors, for example, by supplying a direct current flowing therethrough. Pick-up means, such as a magnetic flux detecting means, is movably set on the position determining plate for producing a signal in response to field variations on the position determining plate caused by the selective energization of the first conductors and second conductors.

Abstract: A coordinate position digitizing system to be used with a cathode ray tube, comprises a position determining plate having a plurality of conductors extending parallel with one another at regularly spaced intervals, and driving means for supplying a constant current selectively to the conductors, one after another, within a horizontal scanning period of the cathode ray tube. Magnetic flux detecting means detects magnetic flux on the position determining plate, and a band pass filter eliminates a noise component resulting from the deflection magnetic field of the cathode ray tube. Positional data defining a position of the magnetic flux detecting means on the position determining plate is produced in response to the output of the band pass filter.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for preventing oxidative coloring while maintaining good solderability of copper foil wherein a thin layer of tin or a combination of tin and zinc alloy is electro-deposited on the surface of the shiny side of copper foil and the tin or binary alloy diffuses into the surface portion of electrodeposited copper foil by heating, such as drying, baking or lamination under heat and pressure. By virtue of an extremely thin layer of the tin alloy thus formed, the bright tone of the copper surface is maintained during storage or during subsequent lamination of the foil, and the solderability thereof is also improved.
