A control device for control cables comprising a housing, a spherical bearing provided with the housing, a main shaft inserted into the spherical bearing, a lever base to which both ends of the main shaft are fixed, ball joints which are pivotally provided with the lever base at positions in the axial direction of the main shaft and in the perpendicular direction to the axis center of the spherical bearing, and a guide stopper for restricting a rotational motion of the main shaft around the sphe...

A control board has a pattern for a low-voltage circuit including a ground pattern connectable to a ground and a pattern for a high-voltage circuit including a ground pattern. The patterns for the low-voltage and high-voltage circuits each have one or more ground-connection lands configured to connect the ground patterns thereof to each other via one or more capacitors.

Control signals for a process displaying graphical objects in a display are generated with a first control surface, a second control surface and detector means. The first control surface is available for manipulation with a thumb of one hand on one side of a hand-held electronic device. The second control surface is adapted for manipulation with another finger of the same hand. It is located on a different side of the hand-held electronic device. The detector means jointly detect how the first a...

A control unit and a control method are disclosed. First and second changing units change impedances of two or more first and second components within predetermined first and second ranges, respectively, the first and the second components affecting an output signal. An evaluation function value calculating unit calculates an evaluation function value that is dependent on the impedances of the first and the second components. A gradient vector calculating unit calculates a gradient vector based ...

In order to easily download a program obtained from the outside onto a connected device while a device on which a program is to be downloaded is being properly selected, when a second device connected to a first device is controlled by executing a first program inputted to the first device from the outside and a second program prepared beforehand in the first device, the most desirable device is selected as the second device by executing the second program and the first program is executed by us...

A control system manages a user's entry into and exit from an area based on the ID information of a device in the user's possession. The control system includes a determining unit that determines, based on the ID information of the device, whether the user can enter or exit the area, and a transmitting unit that transmits, based on the result of the determination by the determining unit, setting information of an apparatus located in the area to the device.

Each of controllers includes: a transistor; a data processor for executing predetermined data processing and turning the transistor on or off in accordance with the data processing result; a pull-up resistor connected to an output terminal of the transistor; and a level separating resistor connected to the output terminal of the transistor, and the data processor of each controller detects a signal level of a control signal output from the output terminal of the transistor and judges whether or ...

A control apparatus includes a communication unit for conducting the data communication. Identification information is assigned to the control apparatus. The control apparatus further includes a storage unit having an identification information table storing information containing the identification information and the identification information of other control apparatuses, which are connected to and communicate with the control apparatus.

A control system for a nuclear reactor is disclosed. A control rod strategy computer provides for dynamic control of core power distribution in both radial and axial directions and forms the basis for a partial trip capability. Several microprocessor-based computation centers are combined together in a data-sharing network which processors determine local power density, determine the instantaneous differential and integral reactivity worth of each group of control rods, determine and effectuate ...

A control knob for a control panel assembly having a panel to which a push-and-turn switch assembly is mounted, with the switch assembly having a stem axially movable and rotatable to effect actuation of the switch assembly. The control knob has a cap and a skirt. The cap is axially immobile relative to the stem, and the skirt is coupled with the stem for axial movement therewith. The skirt is axially moveable relative to the cap. An axial force acting on the cap is not transferred to the stem a...
