Abstract: An electronic timepiece includes a power generator that generates electric energy, a power storage that stores the electric energy, a capacity detector that detects remaining capacity of the power storage, an operation unit, an operation detector that detects a measurement display operation for instructing the operation unit to display a measurement time, and a capacity display operation for instructing the operation unit to display the remaining capacity, an indicating hand that is used in displaying the measurement time and the remaining capacity, a drive unit that drives the indicating hand, and displays the remaining capacity after moving the indicating hand so as to indicate a preset reference position.

Abstract: Provided is a resin molded article for an automobile interior material, the resin molded article achieving both resin strength permitting formation of a thin film, and crease resistance. This molded article is to be used in an automobile interior material, the resin molded article being obtained by slush-molding a powdered thermoplastic urethane urea resin composition (P) that satisfies (1)-(5) below, said resin composition (P) containing an additive and a thermoplastic urethane urea resin (U) obtained by reacting a high-molecular diol (a), a linear alkane diol (b), a monool (c), a diamine (d), and an organic diisocyanate (e): (1) (a) contains a specific polyester diol; (2) the weight of (b) is within a specific range relative to the total weight of (a)-(e); (3) the tensile strength of a film comprising (P) is 8.0 MPa or higher; (4) the storage modulus of (P) at 130° C. is 0.1-5.0 MPa; (5) the ratio of the storage modulus of (P) at 50° C. to the storage modulus at 23° C.

Abstract: A stepping motor control circuit includes a drive pulse generation section that generates forward-rotation drive pulses that drive a stepping motor stepwise in a forward rotation direction and reverse-rotation drive pulses that drive the stepping motor stepwise in a reverse rotation direction and a forward/reverse rotation switching control section that switches the drive pulses outputted to the stepping motor from one of the forward-rotation drive pulses and the reverse-rotation drive pulses to the other, and the forward/reverse rotation switching control section switches the drive pulses outputted to the stepping motor from one of the forward-rotation drive pulses and the reverse-rotation drive pulses to the other and then provide a predetermined period before the other drive pulses are outputted to the stepping motor.
