Abstract:
An electronic device with a sensor displays in colors, in accordance with values measured by the sensor, information associated with the values. When a temperature measurement mode is selected, a control unit (11) causes a temperature sensor (21) and a measuring circuit (20) to detect a temperature of snow, and writes data of the detected temperature of snow in a temperature data registrer (C) of a display register (40) of a RAM (12). The control unit (11) also reads display color data, corresponding to a company name of a ski wax maker stored in a company name register (N) of the RAM (12) and a value of the temperature data register (C) of the display register (40), from a color conversion table of a ROM (13) which stores display color data representing index colors of ski wax of the respective ski wax makers. The control unit (11) causes a display unit (15) to display the company name stored in the company name register (N) and the data of detected temperature of snow stored in the temperature data register (C) in the color corresponding to the display color data stored in the display color register (L) of the display register (40).
Abstract:
An incoming calling system of the present invention purposes to securely notify the user of the incoming to a radio portable terminal of a mobile communication unit or the like without disturbing others and decrease the probability of erroneous notification. Therefore, an incoming notification signal transmitter (24) for notifying the user of incoming can detect an incoming tone by inserting a jack into and connecting it with an earphone-microphone terminal (23) provided for a portable telephone (21) side and moreover, an incoming notification signal transmitter (24) is set to and supported by portable telephone (21). When portable telephone (21) receives an incoming call signal according to incoming calling from a base station (22), it generates a speech signal of an incoming tone and the speech signal is input to the incoming notification signal transmitter (24) through the earphone-microphone terminal (23) to detect incoming. The incoming notification signal transmitter (24) is constituted so as to generate incoming notification signal (25), transmit the signal to a card-type incoming notification signal receiver (26) or a wrist-type incoming notification signal receiver (27) by radio, and notify the user of incoming at portable telephone (21) side by vibration or a sound output buzzer.
Abstract:
When an enlarged character having a height exceeding the width of a tape (T) is printed on a corresponding sized label, using tape sections (T1, T2, T3), print pattern data for enlarged printing is divided into a plurality of print pattern data portions through the height thereof, and the height of the plurality of print pattern data portions are enlarged to that of the tape, combined with a corresponding plurality of predetermined marks (m1, m2, m3), and then printed. The predetermined marks (m1, m2, m3) are each composed of a pattern representing the order of arrangement of a respective one of the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3) on which the corresponding print data portions are printed, and printed at a predetermined position along the length of that of the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3). Thus, when the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3) on which the corresponding print data portions are printed are pasted on corresponding objects to be used as a single enlarged label, the positions of arrangement of the respective tape sections (T1, T2, T3) in the enlarged label can be confirmed with the patterns of the marks (m1, m2, m3), and divided printed character portions on the tape sections of the enlarged label are prevented from deviating one from the other by aligning the marks (m1, m2, m3) on the plurality of tape sections (T1, T2, T3).
Abstract:
A print head (20) is placed upstanding on a chassis (25) through a protective member (26). A support shaft (28) to which a platen roller (21) is attached through a support member (27) is fixed at a lower end to a chassis (25). The support shaft (28) is fixed at an upper end to an upper attaching portion (25a) of the chassis (25). A space restricting member (31) is provided to the upper attaching portion (25a) so as to engage with an engaging lug (35) on the protective member (26) to restrict the upper ends of the print head (20) and the platen roller (21) at a predetermined space from each other. Thus, the upper ends of the print head (20) and the platen roller (21) are maintained at the predetermined space during printing to press the print head (20) and platen roller (21) against each other with a uniform pressure along their lengths. Thus, there is no difference in printing state between the upper and lower portions of the print head (20) and the platen roller (21) to achieve uniform printing and improve the print quality.
Abstract:
A movement measuring device determines the speed of the body's specific movement on the basis of the maximum value of the acceleration sensed by an acceleration sensing unit attached to the body, when the body has made a specific movement. For example, when th e player wears the device on his arm and makes a punching motion, the punching speed is found from the maximum acceleration resulting from the punching action. Furhtermore, a game device obtains data indicating the magnitude of a specific movement of the body, on the basis of the acceleration sensed by an acceleration sensing unit, and then decides the outcome of the game is decided on the basis of the strength and weakness of the punch. This enables the user to easily play a fighting sport game involving the player's actual punching motions anywhere.
Abstract:
An antenna (1) having a sufficient length and a thin structure can be built in, for example, a wrist watch. Spiral wires (5, 6, 7) are provided on one or both sides of a plurality of insulating film substrates (2, 3, 4), respectively, and these substrates are stacked one on another. The wires (5, 6, 7) are electrically connected to each other, thus completing the antenna. The antenna (1) thus obtained can be built in a variety of electronic apparatus including wrist watch.
Abstract:
A communication paging device whereby the coding mechanism allows messages to be constructed using bit-stream syntax blocks. Each syntax block is designated with a category such as a sentence format, subject, verb, location modifier, location, date modifier, date, time, etc. Within each syntax block category is a set of variable code values that will translate into a screen display oof alphanumeric characters to form both words and graphical screen elements. By using the coding mechanism, the syntax blocks are concatenated to form meaningful sentences with words arranged in a logical syntax order for that particular language. The conjugation of words in the sentence are easier and require less Boolean type functions to arrive at the conjugate word. The use of syntax blocks gives flexibility to allow conversion of statement sentences to question sentences, and question sentences into statement sentences. The use of syntax blocks also allows sentence structure conversion from a pager of one language into a receiving pager of a different language. The use of syntax blocks also reduces the amount of memory, and transmission bandwidth needed to transmit the data.
Abstract:
When a frame information (F1)C2 defining the frame type in a transmission protocol format is received in a pager, data of a following interleaving portion is received. A receiving buffer circuit converts the received data from serial data into parallel data in accordance with the frame type, and a deinterleaving circuit reproduces (deinterleaves) the converted parallel data. The conversion means converts data received by one of a plurality of receiving means into parallel data corresponding to format data denoting data modulation mode and/or data transmission rate.
Abstract:
A service information receiving apparatus (1) for receiving scrambled charged service information transmitted as being multiplexed on an FM broadcast radio wave from an FM broadcasting station (3) causes a control section (43) to perform a predetermined arithmetic operation by using a variable key as one of descramble keys affixed to the scrambled charged service information received by a service information receiving section (40) and a half-fixed key as one of descramble keys, which is stored in an IC card (2) detachably attached to a receiving apparatus main body, thereby preparing a new descramble key, which is used to descramble the received charged service information.
