Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image detector including a first
stripe electrode, a photoconductive layer which exhibits
photoconductivity when irradiated with recording light, a
rectifying layer 14 having a large number of diodes, and a second
stripe electrode, which are stacked in the recited order. The
elements of the first stripe electrode and the elements of the
second stripe electrode are disposed so that they cross
approximately perpendicularly. Voltage is applied from a power
source between both elements to store uniform electric charge in
a charge storage portion. Then, recording light is irradiated
through the side of the first stripe electrode so that the latent
image charge stored in the charge storage portion disappears
according to the dose of the recording light. During reading, a
predetermined voltage is applied between each of the elements of
the first stripe electrode and all the elements of the second stripe
electrode. A charging current that flows in the image detector
by the application of the predetermined voltage is detected by a
charging-current detection circuit.

Abstract: A moving body is linearly moved by a rotary type supersonic
motor and an output transmission means such as a cam and a pinion
rotating in cooperation with a rotor of the supersonic motor, and
a pressurizing mechanism for imparting a contact pressure is provided
between the moving body and the output transmission member to realize
a linear motion mechanism with a supersonic motor. Thus, it is possible
to perform a fine feed and a rough feed with high precision without
any backlash and it is possible to form a linear motion mechanism
with a high rigidity which is hardly affected by an external vibration
or the like. 
     Also, since a compact and high power supersonic motor is used,
it is possible to miniaturize and thin the overall equipment, and
to form a linear motion mechanism that is not affected by magnetic
effect and does not affect the others. Also, the power is not consumed
when the mechanism is not in operation. 
     Accordingly, it is possible to realize a compact linear motion
mechanism with a supersonic motor that may perform the high precision
positioning in a low power consumption, and electronic equipment
using the same.

Abstract: A generator system is arranged to respond to a variation
in the load with a generous margin regardless of a change
in the output of the generator (1) or the engine (2) due
to degradation with the passage of time. The output current
of the generator (1) is rectified by a converter (3) composed
of thyristors in a bridges configuration of which the direct
current output is converted by an inverter (4) into an
alternating current at a commercial frequency and connected
to a load (5). The engine speed is controlled so that the
conduction angle of the thyristors in the converter (3) can
be held at a target degree. As the target degree stays within
a range smaller than the maximum limit, the generator (1)
runs with a margin thus readily responding to a variation
in the load (5). When the throttle opening is excessively
opened, the target conduction angle is decreased to increase
a target speed of the engine (2), hence inhibiting the engine
(2) from being overloaded and running at an excessive higher speed.
