Abstract: An information input apparatus includes a panel member having a touch type information input function, a package having a support portion for supporting the panel member, a pressure detection portion provided between/across the panel member and the support portion for detecting a pressure operation force to the panel member, and an initial load applying portion provided between/across/across the panel member and the support portion and configured to draw the panel member and the support portion toward each other, thereby to apply an initial load to the pressure detection portion, so that an information input operation corresponding to a pressing force to the panel member can be performed speedily.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a touch panel having a press detection function, which makes it possible to suppress degradation of visibility of a display unit of a display device even when mounted on an electronic device, and also to improve a pressure measuring precision.

Abstract: Biological data obtained through observation devices and job titles are recorded on a data recording device in association with time data that are generated at regular intervals. A data processing computer produces a graph from the data read out from the data recording device. The observation devices, the data recording device and the data processing computer are connected to a network, so that a required graph may be produced by processing data at a place remote from the observatory.

Abstract: A work data collection method is provided. The method includes photographing through a video camera a series of different jobs done by at least a worker, to record video signal of said jobs on a memory device of said video camera; inputting a break point signal in said video camera at each break point between said jobs, to record said break point signal on said memory device of said video camera along with said video signal; and displaying a list of titles of said jobs along with a clock.

Abstract: There is disclosed a work data collection method. In a darkroom, a data collector (12) photographs a series of jobs through an infrared video camera (14) while observing the jobs being done by a worker (11) through a darkroom goggle. At each break point between the jobs, the data collector operates a hand switch board (21) to enter a break point signal and select a corresponding job title from among a list of job titles displayed on an LCD device (15) that the data collector puts on behind the darkroom goggle. Then, the break point signal and job title data are recorded in association with each other on a hard disc of a portable personal computer (20). If the corresponding job title is not listed, the data collector says that job title to enter it as a sound signal through a microphone. The sound signal is converted into character data of the job title.
