Abstract: A method is provided. A first voltage is applied to a first set of column electrodes within a touch panel during a first interval, and a second voltage is applied to a second set of column electrodes within the touch panel during the first interval. The first and second sets of electrodes are adjacent to one another, and the second voltage has the opposite polarity of the first voltage. During the first interval, a first measurement signal is received from a set of row electrodes in the touch panel, and the first measurement signal is integrated to generate a first integrated signal. The first voltage is applied to the second set of column electrodes within the touch panel during a second interval, and the second voltage is applied to the first set of column electrodes within the touch panel during the second interval.

Abstract: A liquid lens driver 10 has DC-DC converter 12, oscillator 14, pulse width modulator 16, and control logic circuit 18. The output buffer circuit 30 divides converter output voltage Vs of a prescribed amplitude (voltage level), input as the power source voltage, into bipolar, that is, positive/negative, output voltages Out-A, Out-B for output, and, corresponding to the H/L level of PWM signal CPWM, it turns ON/OFF the two output voltages Out-A, Out-B. In this way, from liquid lens driver 10, pulse width modulation (PWM) output voltages Out-A, Out-B are applied as driving voltage VL on electrodes 104, 108 of liquid lens 100.

Abstract: The rubber composition of the present invention is used for producing an inner liner of a pneumatic tire, and is obtained by compounding a rubber component and a layered or plate-like mineral. The layered or plate-like mineral has an aspect ratio of 3 or more and less than 30. The present invention further provides a production method of the rubber composition and a pneumatic tire which is produced by using the rubber composition. The present invention is applicable to a tire of passenger vehicles, bus or truck, and a tire of airplane. According to the present invention, the air permeation resistance is remarkably improved and the workability is also improved. Therefore, the rapture and hole defect of a non-vulcanized sheet during the tire construction can be avoided. By using the rubber composition, the gauge of the inner liner of pneumatic tire can be reduced while maintaining the inner pressure of tire, thereby reducing the weight of tire.

Abstract: In a tire is used a rubber-steel cord composite of a steel cord and a rubber composition comprising at least one rubber ingredient and a bismaleimide compound, wherein an amount of the bismaleimide compound is 0.1-5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber ingredient.

Abstract: An A/D conversion method which compares an input analog voltage and a comparison voltage, wherein the comparison voltage range corresponds to the upper half or lower half of the previous comparison voltage range if the determination of the previous bit was normal, and when the previous comparison was abnormal, then the comparison voltage range is outside of the previous comparison voltage range.

Abstract: An adhesion promoter composition containing a Zn, K, Al, Ti or Zr metal salt of an organic acid and at least one of a hydrous inorganic salt and an organic molybdenum compound. The adhesion promoter composition may be used to form an adherent rubber composition. The use of the adhesion promoter composition results in an adherent rubber composition which is stable and has a high adhesive force.
