Abstract: An infrared image pick-up apparatus includes: a body having a condenser lens for condensing an infrared ray emitted from an object, a sensor for detecting intensity of the condensed ray and generating an electric signal corresponding to the intensity, a signal processing circuit for processing the signal from the sensor, and a display device for displaying a two-dimensional infrared image in accordance with a signal from the circuit; and a grip provided separately from the body and attached thereto. The grip has an operating member for adjusting an infrared image on the display device.

Abstract: An automatic vending machine comprises a plurality of electric lamps arranged geometrically on a front panel of a housing and a lamp control circuit for lighting the lamps successively and repeatedly in response to a signal which is generated in accordance with a vending operation of the machine. The lamps are arranged equidistantly along a circle and thus a light spot appears to rotate along the circle. In a preferred embodiment the lamp control circuit comprises a lottery circuit which produces a winning signal for discharging an extra article as a free addition and at the same time the light spot is stopped at a predetermined lamp having a lucky number applied thereto.
