Abstract:
A spinning reel has a reel body and a rotor attached attached to the reel body and rotatable about a longitudinal axis for retrieving a fishing line. The spinning reel has also a balancer attached to the rotor for restricting an imbalance amount of rotation of the rotor substantially within 200 g -mm.
Abstract:
A spinning reel includes a reel body, a rotor disposed at a forward position of the reel body, an arm cam pivotably attached to one of a pair of arm portions of the rotor and a pivotable arm pivotably attached to the other arm portion. A bail is interposed between a line roller of the arm cam and the pivotable arm. A balancer, which is provided to the pivotable arm, has a configuration projection on a side opposite to the bail and outwardly of the pivotable arm with respect to a direction along a pivot axis of the pivotable arm.
Abstract:
A fishing reel comprising a rotary frame supported rotatably to a reel body so that the rotary frame is driven to rotate to thereby wind a fishing line onto a spool, wherein a braking member is supported freely rotatably for providing a resistance against reverse rotation of the rotary frame and is adapted to rotate together with the rotary frame through a unidirectional rotation transmitting mechanism when the rotary frame is driven to rotate.

Abstract:
In a monochromator including a light dispersing element rotatable about an axis, a linear motor for rotating the light dispersing element around the axis, an encoder for generating a signal representing a rotational position of the light dispersing element, and a linear motor controller for detecting the rotational position of the light dispersing element based on the signal generated by the encoder, the inventive monochromator is characterized in that the signal generated by the encoder has a waveform including no flat portion. That is, the strength of the signal must change if the rotational position of the light dispersing element changes even slightly. Using a linear motor as a driving unit for the light dispersing element, the monochromator of the present invention can rotate the light dispersing element constantly with a stable speed even at high speed. And using such an encoder, the detecting accuracy of the rotational position of the light dispersing element is much improved compared to conventional ones. Thus a spectrophotometer using the inventive monochromator has a better efficiency and accuracy both in the wavelength scanning analysis and in the time course analysis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pulse modulating method which ensures demodulation of bit data without being affected by a change in the pulse width and permits high-speed transmission, pulse modulating equipment for the pulse modulating method and pulse demodulating equipment. The pulse modulating equipment divides an input signal into n-bit words and converts it into a pulse unit signal which represents the state of the bit data for each word by time intervals i and j between odd-numbered transitions and between even-numbered transitions. The respective time intervals i and j are free from the influence of the transmission line used, for example, and remains unchanged in the pulse demodulating equipment, so that no demodulation error arises. Further, since the bit data is represented by the time intervals i and j between the odd-numbered transitions and between the even-numbered transitions, the coding efficiency increases, permitting high-speed transmission.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pointing device which can be mounted in a limited space in a PC housing with no gap therebetween and which permits continued control of a cursor on the PC screen regardless of the size of a tablet sheet. Cursor control data is produced from data about the positional relationship between a pressed position (x.sub.n, y.sub.n) on the tablet sheet and a fixed reference position (x.sub.0, y.sub.0). Since the relative position data represents the distance and direction of the pressed position relative to the reference position, the movement of the cursor can be controlled by changing only the position where to press the tablet sheet relative to the reference position when the cursor control data is provided to a personal computer. Hence, even if the tablet sheet is narrow, the cursor can be controlled continuously. Additionally, marginal portions of the tablet sheet can be closely joined to the PC housing with no gap therebetween.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a relative manipulated variable input device which is capable of controlling the cursor movement in correspondence to the direction and amount of tilt of a control button and controlling the speed of the cursor movement in accordance with the force applied to the control button as well. Output data is generated using relative position data calculated from the difference between a pressed position and a reference position and a contact resistance value r.sub.p. The output data, which represents the direction and amount of tilt of the control button, is output in accordance with the force applied to the control button. The relative position data represents the direction and amount of tilt of the control button and the output data is produced based on the relative data. Hence, the cursor movement can be controlled by the direction and amount of tilt of the control button, and by changing the force exerted on the control button to change the contact resistance value r.sub.p, different output data corresponding to the force exerted on the control button can be provided even if the direction and amount of tilt of the control button are held unchanged.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive resistance tablet coordinate input device is provided which enables the cursor to be moved to a desired position on a PC display by pressing a tablet sheet (6) with a stylus, permits the stylus press-shift operation at the center of the tablet sheet (6) and maintains the continuity of control of the cursor movement even if the pressure to the tablet is once removed. The device is selectively switchable between an absolute value output data in which pressed-position data (x.sub.n,y.sub.n) is used as cursor control data (X.sub.n,Y.sub.n) or a relative value output mode in which relative position data is calculated by comparing pieces of pressed-position data before and after the stylus press-shift operation on the tablet sheet (6). The relative position data thus calculated is used as the cursor control data (X.sub.n,Y.sub.n). Since either one of the two modes of operation can be selected in accordance with the contact resistance value r.sub.P at the position of the tablet being pressed, it is possible to control the cursor movement corresponding to the operation, only by changing the method for pressing the tablet sheet (6).
