Abstract: A fan control device includes a PWM generating circuit, a PWM switching circuit, and a switching instructing unit. The PWM generating circuit generates an arbitrary signal controlling rotation of a fan for cooling an MXM card. The PWM switching circuit is located between the MXM card and the fan, and switches output to the fan from the arbitrary signal generated by the PWM generating circuit to a signal output from the MXM card. The switching instructing unit issues a switching instruction to the PWM switching circuit at predetermined timing. Consequently, the fan control device can appropriately control the fan for cooling a heat-generating component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic device such as a notebook-size personal computer and a portable terminal, and provides an electronic device having high visibility and of low cost. An electronic device includes a calculation unit and plural light sources. The calculation unit incorporates a keyboard disposed on a top surface of the electronic device and an electronic circuit (not illustrated) to perform calculation processing according to an operation of the keyboard. The plural light sources are arranged in a deep side and on both sides of the calculation unit, to illuminate the keyboard in an obliquely inward direction. An LED having directivity may be used as the light sources.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an accurate positioning function with respect to an object and program generating an operation by depression and its depression release. The present invention provides a control device (1) for outputting an information in accordance with an operation with respect to an input device. The control device (1) comprises: a detection unit (8) for detecting a release of depression with respect to the input device; and an output unit (8) for outputting an information indicative of a depression with respect to the input device and an information indicative of a depression release when detecting a release of the depression.

Abstract: An input processing method and input control apparatus that enable switching between normal operation and hovering operation to be accomplished with a very simple operation in an information processing apparatus that uses a touch input device such as a tablet or the like as an input device. During a period that an improved hovering mode according to the present invention is set active, the time interval between a pen up motion and a subsequent pen down motion is detected. If the time interval is equal to or longer than a predetermined length of time, pen down information to be sent to the OS is set OFF, thereby effecting the hovering operation. On the other hand, if the time interval is shorter than the predetermined length of time, the pen down information to be sent to the OS is set ON, thereby effecting the normal operation. Thus, in the improved hovering mode, with an extra tap of a pen, the immediately following pen operation works as if it were performed in normal mode.

Abstract: A plate material is drawn to form a first-drawing product in the shape of an elliptically cylindrical container having an elliptical cross section. Then, the first-drawing product is drawn to form a re-drawing product in the shape of a generally circular cylindrical container. Next, the re-drawing product is drawn to form a late-drawing product in the shape of an elliptically cylindrical container having an elliptical cross section in which a major axis and a minor axis of the elliptical cross section are reversed with respect to a major axis and a minor axis of the elliptical cross section of the first-drawing product. Thereafter, the late-drawing product is drawn to form a final product as a yoke.

Abstract: In a commutator of a rotary electric machine having a plurality of commutator segments and a cylindrical insulation body, each of the commutator segments has a pair of inner claws disposed at axially central portion of an inner surface of the commutator segment respectively extending radially and axially inward and a pair of wedge portions disposed axially outside and a circumferential side of the pair of inner claws.

Abstract: A ball quantitative supply system is comprised of an upper plate, a lower plate and a rotary block rotatably retained between the upper and lower plates. The upper plate is provided with a ball receiving aperture for receiving balls fed from a ball feeder, and a ball confirming aperture for confirming a predetermined number of balls, the apertures being provided to extend through different portions of the plate when seen in top plan. The lower plate is provided with a ball discharge aperture extending therethrough. The rotary block is provided with a ball receptacle extending therethrough for receiving a predetermined number of balls. The positions of provision of the ball receiving aperture, ball confirming aperture and ball discharge aperture are displaced from each other at an equal interval of 120.degree. as viewed in top plan.
