Abstract: In a focus demand connected to a lens unit of a television camera, a joystick for designating the direction of movement of an AF area is disposed. A direction change switch for reversing the direction of movement of the AF area with respect to the direction of operation of the joystick is also provided. The focus demand is reversed in vertical and horizontal directions between the case of being mounted to be operated by the right hand and the case of being mounted to be operated by the left hand.

Abstract: The present inention proides a focus control apparatus for a television camera comprising a focus adjusting portion for manual focus adjustment of the television camera, an indicating member for use to specify an area desired to be brought into focus within a range of a camera image being picked up by the television camera, an area display deice which displays position of the area specified with the indicating member, on a camera screen and a switch which outputs a command signal to auto-focus on a subject in the area specified with the indicating member, wherein the indicating member and the switch are positioned such that the indicating member and the switch can be operated simultaneously with the focus adjusting portion by the same hand.

Abstract: In this disclosure, based on change item definition information concerning system LSI development and design, software used for development and design of a system LSI that contains a processor having optional instructions defined therein is operated, and system LSI hardware description, verification environment and a development and design tools are generated, thus making it possible to develop a system LSI optimal to an application within a short period.

Abstract: A process for producing heterocyclic compounds which are useful as pesticides, drugs, fungicidal materials or intermediates thereof. TosMIC is reacted with an aldehyde or an imino compound: 1) in a solvent mixture of an aprotic solvent with a protic solvent in the presence of a base, 2) in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst and an inorganic base, or 3) in the presence of an inorganic base. Thus, a desired product can be efficiently obtained using a solution without isolating TosMIC which is irritating and unstable, has a low decomposition point and shows explosivity.

Abstract: A method for bonding a plurality of non-magnetic members includes the steps of (1) mating the non-magnetic members via an uncured adhesive interposed between their surfaces to be bonded; (2) applying pressure to their mated portions between a pressing magnet jig and a pressure-receiving, soft-magnetic jig; and (3) curing the adhesive while applying pressure.

Abstract: A support stage for a prompter has a bi-divisional structure comprising a first support stage on which an LCD and a semitransparent mirror are supported and a second support stage on which an ENG camera is supported. Because the first support stage and the second support stage are constructed in the manner as to be capable of overlapping with each other by a slide mechanism, the support stage can be compact in size and can have a better weight balance; hence the support stage is easy to carry.
