Abstract: An actuating device for a motor used in a power window of an automobile which can drive the motor reliably to open the window even when the automobile is submerged in water. This device has a simple configuration is relatively small and inexpensive. This activating device comprises a drive circuit for a motor which has first and second relays to allow electric current to flow so as to drive the motor in either the forward or reverse direction. The contact of the second relay, which drives the motor in one direction, is used in such a way that the contact forms a part of an electronic circuit for the magnetic coil of the first relay. When the second relay operates, the electric circuit for the magnetic coil of the first relay is closed off. This activating device can ensure that a power window will be opened even if the automobile is submerged, and the first and second relay are switched ON at the same time.

Abstract: According to the printed-circuit board of the preset invention, the circuit modification unit 120 adds a noise reduction component, based on circuit board information inputted to the design information input unit 106. Then, the layout unit 132 sets a layout after the design rule generation unit 133 generates a design rule. The rated value modification unit 124 determines rated values of noise reduction components in accordance with the layout. Thus, design rule generation, noise reduction component addition, and rated value determination are automatically performed to satisfy the electric characteristics of evaluation targets. Consequently, interactive process in designing is reduced and the efficiency of designing can be realized.

Abstract: In a pattern generating system for scanning a pattern on a surface of a workpiece with a laser beam modulated by drawing data so as to form a pattern corresponding to design pattern data, a plurality of through holes are formed at predetermined positions of the workpiece. Beams transmitted through the through holes are directed to a sensor for generating a detection output representing positions of the transmitted beams. A computer generates position data of the through holes on the basis of the detection output and calculates a positional error and a deformation amount of the workpiece. A correcting device corrects the drawing on the basis of the positional error and the deformation amount.
