Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-layer coating film having at least a clear coating film and a base coating film and having good chipping resistance, and preferably to provide a multi-layer coating film further having good designability. The multi-layer coating film of the present invention is a multi-layer coating film comprising a substrate, a base layer formed thereon, and a clear layer formed on the base layer, wherein the base layer comprises a luster pigment, wherein the base layer has an erosion index of 45 ?m2/g or less where the erosion index is a value obtained by multiplying an erosion rate of the base layer by a thickness of the base layer, and wherein the erosion rate of the base layer is measured using a micro slurry jet erosion method at a projection power at which an erosion rate with respect to a silicon wafer is 0.635 ?m/g.

Abstract: A radio-frequency module includes a mounting substrate and first and second power amplifiers.

The first outer periphery includes a first edge section. The second power amplifier includes a second input terminal and a second outer periphery. The second outer periphery includes a second edge section. The second edge section opposes the first edge section in a first direction. The first input terminal is disposed in the first edge section of the first power amplifier. The second input terminal is disposed in the second edge section of the second power amplifier. The first and second input terminals do not overlap each other in the first direction.

Abstract: A printer is provided to improve the conveying accuracy of a Y-bar, thus improving printed image quality. The printer includes the Y-bar that extends in a first direction above a flatbed on which a medium is mounted, holds an ink droplet ejecting head unit so that the head unit is movable in the first direction, and is held so as to be movable with respect to the flatbed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The printer includes a drive mechanism that conveys the Y-bar in the second direction, a drive control device that carries out a drive control of the drive mechanism, and a measuring device that directly measures an amount of movement of the Y-bar with respect to the flatbed. The drive control device corrects controlled variables of the drive mechanism based on the amount of movement of the Y-bar measured by the measuring device.

Abstract: In a portable electronic mail apparatus which receives and transmits electronic mails, it is determined, if a mail is received, whether the RAM which is to store a received mail has an empty capacity to store the received mail, a volume of the received mail is equal to or smaller than a predetermined volume, a mail address of a transmitter is a predetermined address, or a predetermined word is included in the mail and according to a result of the determination, the received mail is stored in the RAM, or a part of the mail is stored in the RAM and the received mail is transmitted to a predetermined destination.

Abstract: There are stored a plurality of electronic mails each for use in an absence notice, composed of those of an ordinary notice and the other clearly indicating an emergency contact place. If an electronic mail is received, it is determined whether or not the electronic mail is of emergency. If the electronic mail is of emergency, an electronic mail clearly indicating an emergency contact place is transmitted and when not of emergency, a response electronic mail of an ordinary notice which notices the absence is transmitted.

Abstract: A face image data processing device which processes data on a face image to create the face image suitable for an age and presumes the age of the created face image on the basis of same. In response to designation of data on an age by an age designating unit, respective part images corresponding to the designated age data are read from a storage. A face image composed of a combination of the read part images and suitable for the designated age data is created, and displayed or printed. The age of the created face image is presumed from the created face image by an age presumption section. The presumed age is displayed/printed along with the associated face image.

Abstract: A main CPU and a sub CPU take share of executing a tone generating process to generate multiple tone signals on a real-time basis without using an exclusive tone generator. The main CPU and sub CPU are formed on a one-chip LSI, thus facilitating realization of a compact electronic musical instrument. According to another structure, the main CPU executes tone generation while the sub CPU performs an effect process, thereby permitting a one-chip LSI to generate an effect-added musical tone.

Abstract: An object image creation device and method which combine images of the parts which compose an object into an object image. A storage stores data on a plurality of kinds of images for each of the parts which compose one half of an object. Any images are selected one from among a stored plurality of kinds of images of each of the parts. The selected images of the respective parts are combined into a first half object image. A second half object image symmetrical with the first half object image is produced on the basis of the first half object image. The first and second half object images are combined into a complete object image.

Abstract: A timepiece whose functions are controlled by making a voice instead of operating manual switches. Operating signals for functioning the timepiece, except for turning off of the alarm sound, are applied to a voice recognizing circuit. Operation of turning off of the alarm sound is performed by detecting a volume level of voice which is made by the user. Thus, it eliminates difficulty to recognize only the voice of the user while the alarm sound is generated because the voice of the user and the alarm sound are mixed together.

Abstract: An alarm signalling electronic timepiece including an alarm signalling circuit which generates alarm signal at a preset hour, and a sound circuit which generates signalling sound by the alarm signal. This timepiece includes a timer counter which can memorize and subtract preset time and which can supply the alarm signal to the sound circuit after the set time elapses from the start of down count from a a time start circuit which holds the time memorized in said timer counter until the alarm signal from the alarm signalling circuit changes and which starts counting in said timer counter when the alarm signal changes, and external switches which externally switch over to work or cancel said time start circuit, whereby plural and different alarm signalling hours can be set with more simplicity.
