Abstract: In order to cope with many rotor diameters using a single type of stator portion, two stator portions, each having a built-in signal processing circuit for detecting absolute positions independently, are disposed in opposition at positions which differ from each other with respect to a rotational center of a rotor portion. When one of the stator portions receives a request command RX from an external device, it transmits a detected serial communication signal. The other stator portion receives the transmitted serial communication signal, determines a position detection abnormality, and notifies the abnormality to the external device when a difference between the received absolute position and the absolute position detected by the other stator portion exceeds a deviation previously set for 180 degrees.

Abstract: Sound source pulses are output to a sound drive circuit based on first to fourth sound source data of a ringer melody. Thus, the sound drive circuit drives a speaker based on the sound source pulses. As a result, the ringer melody including first to fourth melodic lines is output from the speaker. One melodic line is selected from the first to fourth melodic lines, and a melodic line pulse is outputted to a vibration drive circuit based on the sound source data of the selected melodic line. As a result, the vibration drive circuit drives a vibrator based on the melodic line pulse, so that the vibrator vibrates based on the selected melodic line.

Abstract: A fixed driving roller shaft not actuated vertically is disposed facing a sheet-reading sensor. Low-hardness sensor-opposed rollers each having a fixed clearance with respect to the sheet-reading sensor are arranged at positions opposed thereto. Transport rollers harder than the sensor-opposed rollers are arranged at positions not opposed to the sheet-reading sensor. The opposed sections of the transport rollers are formed into the sheet-transporting and sensor-opposed roller construction that has tension rollers arranged at the positions where the tension rollers come into contact with the associated transport rollers.
