Abstract: A sensor sheet is manufactured by forming a conductive heat-sensitive material 5 over first wiring electrodes 3a and forming second wiring electrodes 4a over the conductive heat-sensitive material 5. For this reason, no adhesion surface (boundary surface), which is formed when adhesion is performed later, exists between the first wiring electrode 3a and the conductive heat-sensitive material 5 and between the conductive heat-sensitive material 5 and the second wiring electrodes 4a.

Abstract: Capacitance element electrodes (E1 to E5) and a grounded reference electrode (E0) are formed on a substrate (20). A displacement electrode (40) that is Z-axially displaced in accordance with a Z-axial movement of a detective member (30) externally operated, is disposed so as to be opposed to the above electrodes (E0 to E5). The displacement electrode (40) cooperates with the reference electrode (E0) and the capacitance element electrodes (E1 to E5) to form capacitance elements (C0 to C5), respectively. Each of the capacitance elements (C1 to C5) is connected to the capacitance element (C0) in series in relation to an externally input signal. Changes in the capacitance values of the capacitance elements (C1 to C5) when the detective member (30) is moved, is detected by a signal processing circuit having hysteretic characteristics. Thereby, the displacement of the detective member (30) is detected.

Abstract: A tension adjusting mechanism for cord or the like can adjust tension more appropriately than conventional ones. The tension adjusting mechanism comprises a wrapping roller (2), for the cord or the like, which is formed such that it can be rotatingly driven by a drive means, detects tension on the cord or the like (C) after leaving the wrapping roller (2), and controls the drive means so as to make the detected tension approach a proper value suitable for the cord or the like (C).
