Abstract: To reduce the weight of the movable body while simplifying the structure. Included are: a first movable body that is movable in a first movement direction with respect to a base body; a second movable body that is positioned on an opposite side of the first movable body from the base body and movable in a second movement direction different from the first movement direction with respect to the first movable body; and a first drive body and a second drive body that each apply driving force to the second movable body, in which the first movable body and the second movable body are integrally moved in the first movement direction with respect to the base body by the driving force of at least one of the first drive body or the second drive body, and the second movable body is moved in the second movement direction with respect to the first movable body by the driving force of at least one of the first drive body or the second drive body.

Abstract: A camera including a first and second luminance detector, a distance detector and a calculator. The first luminance detector, having a first spectral sensitivity and receiving light from a larger region of a photographing view, generates a first luminance information. The distance detector, having a second spectral sensitivity and receiving light from a smaller region of the photographing view, generates a distance information concerning a distance to an object. The second luminance detector generates a second luminance information based on the received light of the distance detector. The calculator calculates a control luminance value for exposure control based on the first luminance information and the second luminance information when the first luminance information is above a predetermined threshold value. In addition, the calculator calculates a control luminance value based on the first luminance information when the first luminance information is below the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A control apparatus of an electric power steering apparatus capable of firmly detecting an abnormality of a torque detection value, caused by a drift occurred in a torque sensor and by a connector contact resistor, with a simple arrangement. A current supplied from a power supply flows through a potentiometer (3A) of a torque sensor (3), this current is supplied to a current detecting resistor (13g), a drift occurred in the torque sensor (3) is detected by a voltage across terminals of this resistor, the detected drift detection voltage V.sub.is is read in a microcomputer (21), and the drift detection voltage V.sub.is is compared with a set value to judge as to whether or not the drift is present within a normal range. The torque sensor is constructed of a main potentiometer (3.sub.M) and a sub-potentiometer (3.sub.S). A change amount .DELTA.V.sub.M is calculated from a difference between a presently detected value and a previously detected value of the torque detection voltage V.sub.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant virus vector comprising a foreign gene linked downstream of a coat protein gene of tobacco mosaic virus via a nucleotide sequence which cause the readthrough, and a plasmid which is transcribed to provide the vector, as well as a process for expression of a foreign gene in a plant by inoculating the plant with the vector.In addition, the present invention relates to a process for efficiently recovering a foreign gene product produced in a plant as virions.
