Abstract: A mobile electronic apparatus capable of effectively preventing erroneous recognition of a bearing (azimuth oz compass direction) by a user, as a correct display of the bearing is correct when the reliability of the display of the bearing is lowered by a change of the usage environment, and a bearing display method of the same, are provided. If a mobile electronic apparatus (100) is mounted on a charger (200) having a speaker (201), while information on a bearing calculated according to geomagnetism detected by a geomagnetic sensor (108) is displayed on a display part (107), updating of the information on the bearing repeated up to them is stopped, and information on a predetermined bearing is continuously displayed on the display part (107). This enables a user to correctly recognize that the information on the bearing displayed on the display part (107) is incorrect, thereby preventing the user from being misled by the unreliable information on the display part (107).

Electronic money is paid from the second storage area of the charging storage unit 100. The main control unit 11 transfers a part of the electronic money information stored in the first storage area of the charging storage unit 100 to the second storage area based on an operation of an operation unit 13.

Abstract: A mobile phone or other electronic apparatus capable of displaying a bearing and non-contact communication using electromagnetic waves wherein when detection processing of geomagnetism by a geomagnetism sensor and non-contact communication processing using electromagnetic waves are carried out at the same timing, measures are taken since there is a possibility that the geomagnetism detected by the geomagnetism sensor is not correct due to the influence of the electromagnetic waves. Further, when the detection processing of the geomagnetism by the geomagnetism sensor and the non-contact communication processing using electromagnetic waves are carried out at the same timing, bearing processing based on a detection signal of the geomagnetism sensor is restricted or the non-contact communication processing is restricted.

Abstract: Provided is a starter motor control circuit capable of easily preventing the induction of a short-circuit current due to a ground fault in the power source line of a starter motor, in which a high current flows. A key switch (13) is connected with a battery (11), and a starter motor starting signal line (19) of a starter motor (18) is connected through a starter relay (16) with a start (ST) of the key switch (13). A protect relay (22) is disposed in a battery line (21) between the battery (11) and the starter motor (18).

The controller (14) has a function to restrict the connecting actions of the starter relay (16) and the protect relay (22) when the ground fault of the battery line 21 is detected by a ground fault line (24), even if the key switch (13) is changed to the start (ST).

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention discloses an odor-generating alarm apparatus that can ensure the reliability of a releasing operation and the odor dispersibility. In an odor-generating alarm apparatus, when abnormality information indicating occurrence of an abnormal state is supplied from a sensor for occurrence of an abnormal state, an initiator is operated by a circuit portion, and the initiator displaces a piston of a driving portion and displaces a spray can with respect to a casing and switches the spray can to a releasing state, thus releasing an odorous liquid filling the spray can in the form of fine particles.

Abstract: The influence of a magnetic field on a geomagnetic sensor is detected to report a highly reliable bearing, and a 3D geomagnetic sensor (170A) is arranged at a position facing a magnet (190). An external magnetic field detection processing unit (160) detects the approach of the magnet (190) to the 3D geomagnetic sensor (170A), and uses the unit for detecting opening and closing of the housing. In addition, the unit judges whether there is influence by an external magnetic field according to whether the effect of the magnetic field of the magnet (190) is being felt and reflects this in the report of the bearing information.

Both layers is extremely thin, and is made of an alloy having a melting point lower than that of substrate. Insert 1 is used to achieve liquid phase diffusion bonding of first and second base metals. Insert 1 is interposed between first base metal and second base metal. Then, insert 1 and base metals are clamped together with a pressure of, for example, 0.5 kgf/mm.sup.2, and are placed in a atmosphere of a low pressure of about 10.sup.-4 Torr and heated to the melting point of alloy layers or to a temperature above this melting point but below the melting points of substrate and plates.
