Abstract: A personal digital assistant includes a display control unit that causes an object as a target of the touch operation to be displayed in the image display unit, an image input unit that acquires a video of an operation instruction object that performs the touch operation on the touch screen, and a shaking detection unit that analyzes the video of the operation instruction object, which is acquired by the image input unit, and calculates a relative shaking amount of the operation instruction object to a position of the personal digital assistant as a reference. The display control unit causes the object to be displayed in the image display unit to be displayed, based on the relative shaking amount of the operation instruction object, which is calculated by the shaking detection unit, such that the object is shifted in accordance with the relative shaking amount.

Abstract: A device for bulletining posters and the like has a simple construction which eliminates the need for using a base plate, allowing individual posters and the like to be bulletined with an easy mounting operation.

Abstract: A sputter target for producing electroconductive transparent films, which comprises indium oxide and tin oxide and having a shape such that not less than 80% by weight of the target is present in an erosion area on sputtering, and a process for manufacturing the sputtering target which comprises molding a slurry or a powder mixture containing indium oxide and tin oxide into a molded shape and sintering the molded shape are disclosed.

Abstract: A chromium additive of the formula: Cr.sub.x C.sub.y O.sub.z where 0.04.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.35, and 0.03.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.0.30 for x=1, said additive having an X ray diffraction peak at d=3.32 .ANG. (2.theta.=26.8.degree.).

Abstract: Disclosed is a cyclone whose body has a form of a sphere. The spherical form of the cyclone causes the volume of the cyclone to be compact. Further, this allows the pressure loss in the body to be reduced with an advantage that the cyclone can be operated by a blower whose gas volume is smaller.

Abstract: The disclosed method and apparatus simultaneously purifies air and water contained in an indoor institution such as an indoor swimming pool facility. Air from the interior of the institution is first treated in a cyclone to remove dust, bacteria and odors, then mixed with ozone generated from a separate air source to form an air-ozone mixture which is distributed in the form of fine bubbles in an air/water contact sterilizing chamber. Water from the pool of water in the indoor institution is filtered and transferred to the sterilizing chamber. In the sterilizing chamber, contact of the filtered water and air-ozone mixture acts to simultaneously purify both. The purified air is returned to the indoor institution after moisture removal, ozone elimination and temperature adjustment. Similarly, the purified water is returned to the pool of water after ozone elimination, temperature adjustment and chlorination.
