Abstract:
The invention provides a portable electronic apparatus and a portable music-reproducing apparatus which realize power saving promotion, and life prolonging promotion for a display panel, and which prevent display quality from being deteriorated. A portable electronic apparatus (1) can instruct an EL-displaying portion (12) to perform clock display while realizing power saving promotion therefor. Thus, the portable electronic apparatus (1) can be given an added value without impairing any of main functions thereof. Also, even when the EL-displaying portion (12) is in an OFF state, picture display is returned back to the clock display by manually operating corresponding one of switches, and is returned back to an operation picture for AUDIO or the like by manually operating corresponding another one of the switches. Hence, no complicated operation is required for the portable electronic apparatus (1).
Abstract:
A method for driving a robot in a manner of imitation by watching (non-contact manner) based on the movement of a moving object, which has a complicated shape often causing self-occlusion, is provided. A plurality of image data of the robot is associated with pre-arranged operation commands and stored in an image corresponding operation command storing means 11. In order to have the robot perform a movement, the moving objecting caused to perform a desired movement, and at the same time, image data of the moving object are obtained as robot operational image data in time-series. The image data specifying and operation command generating means 14 specifies image data corresponding to the operational image data included in the robot operational image data in time-series among the plurality of image data stored in the image corresponding operation command storing means 11, and provides a pre-arranged operation command corresponding to the specified image data to the robot as an operation command to drive the robot. Owing to this, such problems as complicated shape and self-occlusion of the moving object are eliminated, and the robot performs the movement in an imitating manner by watching.
Abstract:
A white powder characterized by comprising base particles having on the surface thereof at least one coating film comprising a crystallized-particle aggregate which is capable of imparting a white color based on the scattering reflection of light and which comprises crystallized particles and has voids among the crystallized particles; a white powder characterized in that it comprises base particles having on the surface thereof at least one coating film comprising a crystallized-particle aggregate which comprises crystallized particles and has voids among the crystallized particles, and that a white color is imparted thereto based on the scattering reflection of light occurring between the surface of the crystallized particles and the voids; and processes for producing these.
Abstract:
A free-standing angle gage is described having a first substantially flat plate connected to a second substantially flat plate. When the angle gage is placed on the reference surface of a power tool, the sides of the first and second substantially flat plates form angles to the reference plane. By aligning an adjustable element of the power tool against one of the angled sides of the angle gage, the angle formed by the adjustable element the reference surface may be determined quickly and accurately. Also described is a method of measuring the angle formed by an adjustable element of a power tool relative to a reference plane.
