Abstract: A video image is displayed on an image screen of a cathode-ray
tube. The image screen is partitioned into a plurality of
character areas, each character area is composed of four
display blocks, and each character of the video image is
displayed in one character area. Also, a plurality of pointer
characters respectively arranged in a position of a font area
are stored in a pointing character storing unit, positions of
the pointing characters differ from each other, and the
position of each pointing character corresponds to a position
of one display block in one character area for each character
area in cases where the font area of the pointing character
corresponds to the character area. Also, a touch screen panel
partitioned into a plurality of input blocks is prepared, and
each input block corresponds to one display block of the image
screen. When a user selects a particular input block, a
particular display block of a particular character area and a
particular pointing character are selected by the control
circuit on condition that a position of the particular
pointing character in the font area corresponds to a position
of the particular display block in the particular character
area, and the particular pointing character is displayed in
the particular display block of the image screen. Therefore,
one pointing character can be displayed every display block.

Abstract: An apparatus detects a position of an armature within
a solenoid coil by superimposing a fixed frequency sensing
signal onto the coil driver signal. The combined signal
is applied to the solenoid coil and an alternating current
component varies with changes in inductance of the solenoid
coil that result from position changes of the armature. A
current sensor produces an output signal indicating a level
of current flowing through the solenoid coil and a filter
extracts the alternating component of that output signal
that results from the sensing signal. A position circuit
determines the position of the armature from an output from
the filter.
