Abstract: A temperature control device includes: a top plate that supports a substrate; a base plate connected to the top plate so as to form an internal space with the top plate; a thermoelectric module plate arranged in the internal space; a heat exchange plate that is arranged in the internal space and exchanges heat with the thermoelectric module plate; a first coupling member that couples the top plate and the base plate via the thermoelectric module plate and the heat exchange plate and is fixed to each of the top plate and the base plate; and a second coupling member that couples the top plate and the base plate via the thermoelectric module plate and the heat exchange plate, is fixed to the top plate, and is movable relative to the base plate.

Abstract: A light control device including a drive voltage output unit that outputs a drive voltage, a control unit that causes the drive voltage output unit to gradually increase or gradually decrease a magnitude of the drive voltage, a light control sheet including light control units connected in parallel to the drive voltage output unit and formed such that light transmittances of the light control units change according to magnitudes of voltages applied to the light control units, and a voltage dividing circuit which is connected to one of the light control units and divides the drive voltage common to each of the light control units such that the magnitude of the voltage applied to the light control unit connected to the voltage dividing circuit differs from the magnitude of the voltage applied to at least one of other light control units.

Abstract: A station selecting device which comprises: a plurality of variable resistors, grouped into several reception bands, the variable resistors in each group being connected in parallel; band selection switches for selectively supplying power to the variable resistors of the desired band; and channel selection switches for picking up the tuning voltage across the selected variable resistor, said each channel selection switch being connected to one of variable resistors of each band. Since each channel selection switch is connected to the variable resistor of each band, the number of the channel selection switches required are very few as compared with the conventional device, which in turn reduces the size of the device and makes the construction simple.
