Abstract: A touch signal probe comprises a fixed member, a movable member, a bias means, a drive member, a deformation touch signal processing circuit, a contact touch signal processing circuit, and a latch circuit. A stylus is attached to the movable member. The drive member relatively drives reseat position elements respectively placed on the fixed member and the movable member. The bias means restores the movable member to a still position. The deformation touch signal processing circuit generates a deformation touch signal. The contact touch signal processing circuit uses the reseat position elements as make-and-break electric contacts to generate a contact touch signal. The latch circuit inputs coordinate values every instant at which the deformation touch signal is output and stores the coordinate values as the most recent coordinate values for update, and when the contact touch signal is output, outputs the most recent coordinate values as detected coordinate values.

Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of computers, each of which is loaded with software for
providing a web browser function. The computers can interact with each other via the
world wide web, and the system has a plurality of web servers, each having a respective
address, and software for defining a notional multi-dimensional space which contains said
browsers and in which the co-ordinates of the position of each browser in that space are
derived from the address of a server computer. There is also software that permits
interactions between said computers when the locations of their browsers relative to each
other in the notional space satisfy a predetermined requirement, for example when the
browsers are at the same position in the notional space. The system enables the playing of
a game to be incorporated into the "surfing" of the world wide web. The invention also
lies in a computer program for causing a computer to interact with another computer via a
computer network, when the program has instructions for creating a notional multi-dimensional
space, the co-ordinates of points in which are representative of network
addresses, and for causing said computer to access any two or anymore selected addresses
and for calculating distance in the notional space between the co-ordinate points
corresponding to those addresses.

period, in order to prevent changes in the potential of the data
lines (22) caused by the change in the opposing electrode voltage

Abstract: An electrode for supporting an arc in a plasma arc torch is provided and includes an emissive element for supporting the arc, which may be formed of hafnium; a relatively non-emissive member comprising a first metal including silver, which is positioned to circumscribe a front surface of the emissive element; and a metallic holder for holding the non-emissive member. The holder is in one embodiment made of a copper alloy including a major portion of copper and a minor portion of another metal, such as nickel. After assembly, the electrode is subjected to a heat treatment that causes a thermal bonding between the relatively non-emissive member and the metallic holder, which, during subsequent operation of the electrode, provides good thermal conduction away from the emissive element and improves the consumable life of the electrode. Advantageously, during the heating step, the nickel attenuates the eutectic reaction between the copper and the silver that would otherwise occur and allows bonding over a wide range of temperatures and heating cycle durations. In addition, the temperature at which bonding occurs between the non-emissive member and the holder is also raised. As a result, if desired, a thermal bond can also be formed between the hafnium emissive element and the non-emissive member during the same heating cycle, thus further promoting thermal conductivity of the electrode. In alternative embodiments, other metals and other configurations, such as the use of an intervening plating, powder or sleeve are used to raise, and provide a greater range for, the temperatures over which bonding occurs between the non-emissive element and the holder.

Abstract: A BTL amplifying system (9)is provided to prevent a load
(15), suchasaspeaker, frombeingdamaged. Whilepoweramplifying
circuits (18, 19) of the BTL configuration are driving a load (15),
a differential voltage detecting unit, a low-pass filter (12),
and a control unit (13) together detect and judge the occurrence
of an offset. Upon detection and judgment of the occurrence of
an offset, a driving operation of the load is stopped by allowing
the power amplifying circuits (18,19) to stop their own amplifying
operations or inhibiting a signal to be amplified from being
inputted to the power amplifying circuits (18,19). Consequently,
even when an offset occurs while the load (15) is driven due to
the influence of an environment or due to deterioration with time
of an electronic element incorporated as one of the components,
it is possible to forestall offset-induced adverse affects or
damage to the load (15).
