Abstract: An input device can be attached to an electronic apparatus having a touch screen provided with a display part and a touch panel. The input device includes a operating parts able to be operated by a user; and electrodes arranged at different regions on the touch panel. Each of the electrodes is connected to a corresponding operating part so that its potential changes in accordance with an operating state of the operating part and is arranged on the touch panel so that a change in an electrostatic capacitance occurring due to a change in the potential of the electrode is detected by the touch panel. The operating parts are arranged so as to surround at least three sides of the electronic apparatus when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a display screen of the touch screen.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus can be equipped with an input device provided with an electrode which changes in potential by an operating part being operated. The apparatus includes: a touch screen provided with a display part and a touch panel; and a processor configured to detect operation at the operating part. The touch panel detects a value of a parameter relating to an electrostatic capacitance formed between the touch panel and the electrode and changing in accordance with a change in potential of the electrode. The processor is configured to detect operation at the operating part at any timing based on a first parameter value expressed by the value of the parameter detected by the touch panel when no operating part is being operated, and a second parameter value expressed by the value of the parameter detected by the touch panel after the first parameter value is detected.

Abstract: A multiple drive source-equipped vehicle includes two temperature detection parts configured to detect a temperature of external air. When a heating operation is performed at a time of vehicle driving by a first drive source, the controller determines whether or not an external air temperature is lower than a predetermined value based on a detection temperature of a temperature detection part of which a detection temperature is higher among the two temperature detection parts. The controller continues a heating operation by a first heating apparatus when it is determined that the external air temperature is not lower than the predetermined value. The controller operates the second drive source and performs a heating operation by a second heating apparatus when it is determined that the external air temperature is lower than the predetermined value.

Abstract: A system for timbral change, capable of changing timbres included in an existing music audio signal to arbitrary timbres. Replaced harmonic peak parameters are created by replacing a plurality of harmonic peaks included in harmonic peak parameters, which are stored in a separated audio signal analyzing and storing section 3 and indicate relative amplitudes of n-th order harmonic components of each tone generated by a musical instrument of a first kind, with harmonic peaks included in harmonic peak parameters, which are stored in a replacement parameter storing section 6 and indicate relative amplitudes of n-th order harmonic components of each tone generated by a musical instrument of a second kind and corresponding to each tone generated by the musical instrument of the first kind. A synthesized separated audio signal generating section 7 generates a synthesized separated audio signal for each tone using parameters other than the harmonic peak parameters and the replaced harmonic peak parameters.

Abstract: A container transport method for turning a container to a specified direction and transporting the container to a position for specified processing, includes a first step of transporting one of supplied containers to a first position, the one being a container leading rest of the containers; a second step of turning the container at the first position to a specified direction; and a third step of transporting the container turned to the specified direction to a second position so that the container be directed in a certain relationship with the specified direction at the second position.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for cutting labels of heat-shrinkable tube covering bottles in intimate contact with the outer periphery of the bottle by melting the label with hot air applied thereto. The hot air is applied by a jet nozzle comprising a plurality of blocks which are adjustingly movable toward or away the label on the bottle. For use with bottles having a trunk of curved configuration, the blocks are individually adjusted to position each block at a specified distance from the curved bottle surface.
