Abstract: Receiver signal strength indicator, having an automatic outputting detection circuit, can immediately detect whether its output terminals are connected to a specific apparatus or not. The RSSI comprises an RSSI signal generator, an A/D converter, an automatic outputting detection circuit and at least one output terminal. The automatic outputting detection circuit includes a current detection circuit and an interruption signal generator. When a current passes through the output terminal, the current detection circuit detects the occurrence of the current and generates a push signal. The push signal triggers the interruption signal generator, which in turn generates an interruption signal, and then an RSSI signals are output from the RSSI signal generator due to the interruption signal. The A/D converter converts the RSSI signal into an analog signal. Afterward, the analog signal is output to the exterior through the output terminal.

Abstract: In conventional self-lighting type push-button input
devices there is adopted a construction wherein push-button
portions and a base plate are formed using the same
material. Since a light conducting function cannot be
expected of the base plate, it is necessary to provide the
same number of lamps as the number of push-button portions,
with consequent increase of size and cost. In a self-lighting
type push-button input device (1) according to the
present invention, a button base portion (2) is formed of a
transparent material, holes (2a) are formed in predetermined
positions of the button base portion, and spring portions (3)
are formed integrally with the holes by molding with use of
transparent silicone rubber with a light diffusing agent
incorporated therein. With this construction, the button
base portion (2) serves as a light conducting portion able to
effect the propagation of light without causing any loss,
and the spring portions (3) uniformly diffuse the light
distributed thereto by the light conducting portion,
whereby lighting can be effected by a reduced number of
light sources (6), that is, the reduction of size and cost can
be attained to solve the conventional problem.

Abstract: In a particle-optical device such as an electron microscope it is advantageous to
perform the process of focusing automatically. In accordance with the invention, the
electron beam which is to be focused is deliberately made astigmatic to a certain
degree. With this astigmatic beam, two images of a specimen are made at two different
settings of the objective, after which in each of the images the direction of the
astigmatic smearing is determined - for example, with the aid of a two-dimensional
Fourier transform (FFT). The directions of the astigmatic smearing are perpendicular to
each other if, in the transition from a first setting of the objective to a second one, the
point of optimum focus is passed. Through a process of interpolation (which process
may be iterative) between these two settings, the point of optimum focus can now be
determined. Possible anisotropy in the specimen itself can be eliminated by making two
images at both of the settings of the objective and by subtracting the FFTs thereof from
each other.
