Abstract: A surveillance camera apparatus (1) comprises a camera retaining assembly
(4), a camera unit (3) being movable with respect to the camera retaining assembly (4)
to a destined position and posture, a micro-computer unit (12) for producing a
position signal indicative of the destined position and posture, and being operative to
take two different operation states consisting of a regular state to produce a regular
state signal indicative of the regular state for every first predetermined time interval,
and an irregular state not to produce the position signal, a resetting unit (13) for
resetting the micro-computer unit (12) to take the regular state, a camera driving unit
(17) for driving the camera unit (3) to move, a camera drive control unit (27) being
operative to take two different control states consisting of a first control state under
which the camera unit (3) is driven to move to the destined position and posture
represented by the position signal, and a second control state under which the camera
unit (3) is driven to move into engagement with the resetting unit (13) to have the
micro-computer unit (12) to be reset, and a control state setting unit (29) for setting
the camera drive control unit (27) to take the first control state when receiving the
regular state signal within a second predetermined time interval longer than the first
predetermined interval, while setting the camera drive control unit (27) to take the
second control state when not receiving the regular state signal within the second
predetermined time interval. The surveillance camera apparatus (1) thus constructed
can reduce an operation time and lessen a laborious task for the operator to reset the
micro-computer unit (12).

Abstract: Component areas with relatively large thickness(a2,a3) have grooves(38) open to the non-visible faces of the component. Selection of the location and size of the grooves is designed to prevent sink marks on the visible surface in the transition areas between areas of different thickness. Component areas with relatively large thickness(a2,a3) have grooves(38) open to the non-visible faces of the component. Selection of the location and size of the grooves is designed to prevent sink marks on the visible surface in the transition areas between areas of different thickness. When the component is a strip with a thinner connecting section(22) between two thicker longitudinal edges(30) with reinforcing ribs, each thicker section has one or more grooves(38) whose blind end ends at a distance(d1) from the visible face. The distance(d) between the groove(38) ends and the visible face(28) is similar to the thinner wall thickness(a1). Typically the distance(d) is 0.7-1.1, more preferably 0.9-1.05 times the thinner wall thickness and most preferably equal to the thinner wall thickness. Groove breadth(b) is 0.025-0.3, preferably 0.1-0.2, more preferably 0.125-0.175 times the thinner wall thickness and typically is 0.05-0,9mm, more preferably 0.3-0.5mm. Spacing(c) between adjacent grooves is 0.3-1.2, preferably 0.8-1.1, more preferably 0.9-1.05 times thinner wall thickness and most preferably equals the thinner wall thickness. Areas of greater wall thickness(a2) form longitudinal edge attachment areas, e.g. using double-sided adhesive tape, for the component on a support. Each edge area may have one or more grooves. Thicker transverse or angled reinforcing ribs are located at the end of the strip or are located inside the latter. There may or may not be a connection between the reinforcing ribs and the strip edges. Independent claims are included for: a) an injection molding tool for molding the claimed component which has spring steel sheets parallel to the demolding direction for forming the grooves(38); b) a process for molding the component using the claimed tool.

Abstract: An electronic pen (10) has a force sensor (16) whose electrical resistance varies in accordance with the amount of force applied to the pen stem (14) of the pen. The force sensor (16) is a modular unit with an electrode and a closure, which are mutually arranged in an essentially electrically insulated initial position. The closure, which conveniently is cantilevered on the electrode, is adapted to receive axial forces from the pen stem (14) and thereby to be urged to an activated position in electrical contact with the electrode. The closure is also arranged, on relaxation of the axial forces, to automatically spring from the activated position back to the initial position. A control device is used in a method for controlling the pen based on an analog measuring signal from the force sensor (16) by a processor (22) comparing the analog measuring signal with a fixed reference signal and, based on the comparison, selectively initiating conversion of the analog measuring signal into a sequence of digital force values.
