摘要： A method of regulating an output voltage by utilizing a switching regulator, where the switching regulator includes a high side switch, a low side switch having an active diode, a controller coupled to the high side switch and the low side switch, and a current measuring circuit coupled to the high side switch. The method includes the steps of: measuring the output voltage and if the output voltage is below a desired level, activating the high side switch so as to provide current to a load capacitor via a load inductor, if the voltage is above the desired level, activating the low side switch so as to sink current from the load capacitor via the load inductor; and utilizing the current measuring circuit to measure the current flowing through the high side switch in either a positive direction or a negative direction, where the controller is operable for controlling the current measuring circuit and disabling active components contained in the current measuring circuit and the active diode when the active components are not utilized during operation of the switching regulator so as to reduce operational power requirements of the switching regulator.

摘要： A rotary manipulation type input device obtains a specified output by detecting intensity changes of magnetic field due to rotation of an operating element by a detecting element disposed on a substrate beneath a base, using a ring-shaped magnet disposed at the lower side of the operating element disposed rotatably on the base. By rotary manipulation of the operating element, an attractive and repulsive force is generated between the ring-shaped magnetic and the magnetic disposed on the base, so that an operation contact click-feeling is obtained, and therefore the rotary click-feeling and signal output can be synchronized easily, and deterioration of rotary click-feeling is very rare.

摘要： A plurality of cylindrical-shaped or spherical-shaped magnets each including the N-pole and the S-pole formed at a predetermined angle interval are rotatably placed between upper case and lower case, and a plurality of magnetic detection elements are disposed opposite to the magnets at a predetermined gap. When a plurality of small magnets having a diameter of about 2 to 3 mm are rotated by the finger, from the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the magnets the operation direction and the operation amount of the finger can be detected. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an input device capable of making an entire input device with a low dimension so as to make the device thin, and capable of reliable operation.

摘要： An electric conductive film is formed on the insulating surface of a substrate, the substrate having a trench formed on the insulating surface, and the conductive film being filled in the trench. Chemical mechanical polishing is executed to expose the insulating surface of the substrate and leave a portion of the conductive film in the trench. The surface of the substrate having the exposed conductive film in the trench and the exposed insulating surface is exposed to first liquid. After being exposed to the first liquid, the surface of the substrate is exposed to second liquid. The first liquid is either solution which contains at least one first substance selected from a first group consisting of benzotriazole, derivative of benzotriazole and interfacial active agent, or water. The second solution is solution which contains the first substance at a density higher than a density of the first liquid.

摘要： One surface of a piezoelectric actuator is bonded to a suspension via bonding agents. The piezoelectric actuator is bonded to the suspension at two positions sandwiching a coupling portion therebetween. Namely, the bonding is performed at respective one end portions of two piezoelectric active portions, and these end portions are situated on opposite sides with respect to the coupling portion. In the bonding, since the two piezoelectric active portions are integrated via the coupling portion, relative position adjustment between the piezoelectric active portions is very easy. Further, the number of terminals to connect with a wiring pattern formed on the suspension is only two, and the suspension need not be rotated 180 degrees at the time of bonding, so that the time required for bonding is short.
