Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus according to the present invention eliminates distortion caused by interference of a asymmetrical plate wave with an asymmetrical plate wave from the vibrations which are detected after they have been propagated in a vibration transmitting member and performs a highly accurate position coordinate detection. The vibrations of a pen which is brought into contact with the vibration transmitting member are detected by sensors provided on both the front and rear surfaces of the vibration transmitting member to determine a coordinate of a position where the vibrating pen has been brought into contact. At that time, the vibration sensors mounted on the front and rear of the vibration transmitting member in an opposed relation detect vibrations on the two surfaces of the transmitting member. The signals which are detected by each pair of front and rear sensors represent vibrations in which the asymmetrical plate waves having the same phase and the 180.degree. out-of-phase asymmetrical plate waves are superimposed on top of one another. The signals of the two sensors are input to a differential circuit. A resultant differential signal is input to a signal waveform detecting circuit. Since the differential signal is a signal in which the asymmetrical waves are cancelled with each other and in which the asymmetrical waves are amplified by twice, reduction in the vibration detection accuracy which is caused by distortion of waveforms can be prevented.

Abstract: Machining is possible in such a manner that an optional position of a workpiece is positioned just under a tool by rotation of a turn table in a C-axis direction and movement of a spindle on a Y-Z plane, so that a width of a main unit in a X-axis direction can be made shorter in comparison with machining by moving the turn table in the X-axis direction. Besides, the turn table located on a front side of the main unit, an ATC located on the rear side thereof, and a separated control panel located on the rear side of the ATC, independent from the main unit can also make the width of a machining centre in the X-axis direction shorter.

Abstract: In a pen-input computer or the like, it is impossible to distinguish an input method and to execute a proper process according to the input method. A touch panel driver generates finger-input coordinate values for a display screen. A digitizer driver generates pen-input coordinate values for the display screen. A processor receives the coordinate values and additional information indicative of either the finger-input or the pen-input from a source discriminator, starts an inputting process according to the input method, and allows a virtual keyboard to be displayed onto the screen or allows a “CHR input pad” window to be opened.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a coordinate input apparatus which phase-shifts an input signal in accordance with temperature and corrects a phase shift due to a change in temperature, thereby performing coordinate input. A phase shift unit of a temperature phase shift circuit is constituted by connecting two thermistors having the same temperature characteristics and two capacitors having the same capacitance to constitute a bridge circuit. An output (Eout) has a gain of 1 with respect to an input (Ein) and is phase-shifted by tan.sup.-1 [(-2.omega.CR)/.+-.(1-.omega.CR).sup.2)], where R represents a value which exponentially varies in accordance with temperature. For this reason, the output signal can be phase-shifted in accordance with a change in temperature. When this circuit is applied to a coordinate input apparatus using an ultrasonic wave vibration, the phase shift of a vibration due to variations in temperature is corrected, thereby enabling coordinate input stable with respect to changes in temperature.

Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus has an effective area in a vibration transmission member for inputting a vibration from a vibration generator and a computing unit that computes the coordinates of the position of the vibration generator on the basis of the delay time between the vibration generation and the detection of the vibrations by a vibration sensor. A vibration proof material is disposed in the periphery of the vibration transmission member to prevent the inputted vibrations from being reflected at the acoustic impedance boundary of the vibration transmission member. The vibration proof material is disposed so that the spacing between the edge of the effective area and the edge of the vibration proof material facing the effective area edge becomes larger with increasing distance along the effective area edge from the vibration sensor.

Abstract: With the use of transfer delay of supersonic wave, an apparatus for measuring a distance and inputting coordinates accurately is implement. When a distance is measured with the use of the transfer of supersonic wave, the transfer delay time is measured at the specified portion of a detected signal. The position of the specified portion to be measured may shift due to the level of the detected signal or noise. The signal obtained by delaying the specified time the envelope of the detected signal is generated. The signal obtained by attenuating the envelope at the specified rate and adding the specified offset is also generated. A gate signal is formed by obtaining the differential of these two generated signals. The delay time is measured during the gate period. With this configuration, the gate-period timing is immune to influences of the signal level and noise, providing highly precise coordinate inputs.
