Abstract: An information display system has a display unit having a display screen, a control unit for controlling the displayed information, and an input devices for inputting a user's control command. The input devices may be a distance detecting sensor adapted to detect the position of a user controlled object in a sensing field arranged at a given distance in front of the screen. The control unit is adapted to determine a display control command based on the detected object position.

Abstract: To take a ceremonial photograph including a user himself/herself in a theme park or the like, the user must hand to a third person a camera to ask the photographing. There is a system which can take a picture of a user when the user is in a predetermined position, but the user cannot confirm the picture when the user is being photographed. For the purposes, an image service system includes plural cameras connected to a network, an administration server for accumulating or distributing images taken by the cameras, and a client terminal for displaying the images taken by the cameras. The position of the user and the positions of surrounding cameras located within a predetermined distance from the client terminal are detected automatically. Images including the user can be displayed on the terminal.

Abstract: A biochemical analyzer for automatically analyzing components of a specimen, in which a specimen rack conveying part, a specimen introducing part, and a specimen storage part are arranged, independent from one another. The specimen introducing part, the analyzing part and the specimen storage part are coupled to one another along the longitudinal direction of the specimen conveying part. The heights of these three parts measured from the floor are from 850 to 950 mm, their depths are from 750 to 800 mm and their widths are multiples of the dimension of the specimen rack. A uniform appearance is achieved by having standardized dimensions. Also a low height provides better viewing and a lighter environment.

Abstract: A pre-engagement for a braking pressure modulator for a pressure regulating circuit of an electronic braking system of a vehicle includes a first pneumatic inlet through which a supply pressure is supplied to the pre-engagement unit, a second pneumatic inlet through which a redundancy pressure is supplied to the pre-engagement unit, a first pneumatic output terminal through which the pre-engagement unit is connected to an air quantity augmenting relay valve, and a second pneumatic output terminal through which the pre-engagement unit is connected to a pressure sink. The pre-engagement unit also includes an electrically actuated valve system having a plurality of solenoid valves, including a plurality of interconnected pneumatic terminals, and a plurality of electrical terminals which are connected to output terminals of an electronic control unit. An electric braking command signal transmitter delivers a driver initiated electric brake value setting to an input of the electronic control unit.

Abstract: The electron microscope provides sufficient leg space for an observer sitting in a chair in a working posture and allows concentrated observation and swift operation of the electron microscope without burdening the observer. An electron gun column is supported on a support structure formed in a rectangular parallelepiped. The electron gun column, a column evacuation device and a viewing chamber are mounted on the dampers on the support structure through a vibration plate. The table is mounted on the support structure through table supports provided on the top surface of the support structure. Further, the table has an opening at a location corresponding to the viewing chamber so that the table and the viewing chamber, both mounted on the support structure, are not in contact with each other.
