Abstract

A power supply device according to the present invention is provided with an input capacitor, a step-down DC/DC converter, a step-down control unit, a power storage capacitor, a step-up DC/DC converter, and a step-up control unit. The step-down DC/DC converter steps down the input voltage of the input capacitor. The step-down control unit initiates the step-down when a first input criterion is met and stops the step-down when a second input criterion is not met. The power storage capacitor has a large capacity and stores the charge output by the step-down DC/DC converter. The step-up DC/DC converter steps up the voltage from the storage voltage to the output voltage and outputs the power. The step-up control unit initiates the step-up when a start criterion is met and stops the step-up when a maintenance criterion is not met. The storage voltage which meets the start criterion is greater than the storage voltage which meets the maintenance criterion.

Abstract

According to the present invention, stress on an operator is reduced. A touch panel control method of the present invention executes a self-capacity information acquisition step, a mutual capacity information acquisition step, and a contact determination step. In the self-capacity information acquisition step, information on the contact with the touch panel is acquired for each X electrode and each Y electrode by a self-capacity method, and a self-change amount corresponding to the change amount of the capacitance is obtained. In the mutual capacity information acquisition step, one among the X electrode and the Y electrode is used as the transmitting-side electrode and the other is used as the receiving side-electrode, information on the contact with the touch panel is acquired for each pair of X and Y electrodes, by a mutual capacity method, and the amount of mutual change corresponding to the amount of change in capacitance is obtained. In the contact determination step, the contact of an indicator with the touch panel and abnormality are detected, on the basis of the self-change amount, the mutual change amount, the first self-threshold value, the second self-threshold value, the first mutual threshold value, and the second mutual threshold value.

Abstract

A housing 12 of a connector 10 houses a main holding member 22, a first terminal 26, and a second terminal 30. In a state where the main holding member 22 is housed in the housing 12, the main holding member 22 is rotatable relative to the housing 12 and the second terminal 30 about the rotational axis. When the connector 10 and a mating connector 50 are engaged, the main holding member 22 partially receives a mating holding member 54 to limit rotation relative to the main holding member 22 about the rotational axis. The first terminal 26 is held in the main holding member 22 and moves in the rotational direction as the main holding member 22 rotates. A first contacting portion 266 of the first terminal 26 comes into contact with a mate contacting portion 52, and a second contacting portion 280 comes into contact with a third contacting portion 320 of the second terminal 30. Because the third contacting portion 320 has an annular shape, the second contacting portion 280 is capable of keeping the contact with the third contacting portion 320 even when the first terminal 26 moves in the rotational direction.

An atomic beam is irradiated with a first laser beam (701a), a second laser beam (701b), and a third laser beam (701c). The first laser beam and the third laser beam each have a wavelength that corresponds to a transition between a ground state and a first excited state. The second laser beam has a wavelength that corresponds to a transition between the ground state and a second excited state. First, by means of the first laser beam, atoms having a velocity component less than a desired velocity in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of an atomic beam are caused to make a transition from the ground state to the first excited state. Next, by means of the second laser beam, a kinetic momentum is imparted to the atoms in the ground state. The atoms imparted with the kinetic momentum are caused to change the traveling direction thereof and are then removed from the atomic beam. Finally, by means of the third laser beam, the atoms having a velocity component less than the desired velocity in the orthogonal direction are caused to make a transition from the first excited state back to the ground state.

Abstract

In this circuit board 30, first signal wiring portions 351 and second ground wiring portions 353 of a first wiring layer 34 are adjacent to each other in a pitch direction. Further, second signal wiring portions 381 and first ground wiring portions 383 of a second wiring layer 37 are adjacent to each other in the pitch direction. In the pitch direction, outer edges 405 of line portions 345 of two first signal wiring portions 351 are located more inward than both edges 435 of a line portion 375 of the first ground wiring portion 383. Outer edges 415 of line portions 375 of two second signal wiring portions 381 are located more inward than both edges 425 of the line portion 345 of the second ground wiring portion 353. This achieves good signal transmission characteristics without providing a ground layer separate from a signal layer.

Abstract

The present invention enables easy measurement of a change in geoid height. This geoid measurement method involves performing an inertial measurement data acquisition step, a contrast data acquisition step, a state variable estimation step, and a geoid calculation step. The inertial measurement data acquisition step is for acquiring, on the basis of outputs of an inertial measurement unit having a triaxial gyro and a triaxial acceleration meter that are to be mounted to a mobile body, data pertaining to velocity, position, and attitude angle as inertia-derived data. The contrast data acquisition step is for acquiring, from a unit other than the inertial measurement unit, velocity-related data as contrast data. The state variable estimation step is for estimating, using the inertia-derived data and the contrast data, a state variable containing a plumb line deviation by applying a Kalman filter in which plumb line deviation is included in the state variable. The geoid calculation step is for determining, on the basis of an estimated plumb line deviation, a change in geoid height at a position determined by said estimation.
