Abstract: A cap covering a light-emitting element attached to the distal end of an indicator is held by a sliding member, and is slidably attached axially along the indicator. By pressing/separating the cap against/from a coordinate input surface, a tact switch operates interlockingly with the cap to switch driving control of the light-emitting element. For example, the light-emitting element is driven by pressing the cap, and driving of the light-emitting element is stopped by separating the cap. Since the cap covers the light-emitting element, the light-emitting element can be prevented from being worn and scratched. Driving control of the light-emitting element need not be additionally switched, resulting in high operability.

Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus which can attain an accurate coordinate input operation, includes a sensor for detecting an input variation. The vibration is amplified, and an envelope detection circuit generates the envelope of the amplified vibration. A gate signal generation circuit receives the envelope and a second-order differential signal of the envelope generated by an inflection point detection circuit. The gate signal generation circuit attenuates the envelope and adds a predetermined offset to the attenuated envelope. The gate signal generation circuit compares the sum signal with the second-order differential signal to generate a gate signal. In the duration of the gate signal, a tg comparator detects, as a group delay time, a time up to the zero cross point of the second-order differential signal, and a tp comparator detects, as a phase delay time, a time up to the zero cross point in a predetermined order of a phase signal. An arithmetic control circuit calculates the coordinate position of a vibration input source on the basis of these delay times.

Abstract: In a distance measuring device for calculating the distance from the arrival time of the Lamb wave, the thickness of the propagation plate and the frequency of the Lamb wave are optimized in relation to the material of the propagation plate in order not to deteriorate the precision of distance detection even in case an approximate wave velocity is used in the calculation. The plate thickness and the frequency are so selected, in relation to the plate material, as to minimize a function G(f, d) defined by:G(f, d)=Vg.multidot.Vp/{f(Vg-Vp)}whereinf: frequencyVg: group velocity of Lamb waveVp: phase velocity of Lamb waved: plate thickness.

Abstract: Vibration applied to a tablet is sensed by a sensor provided on the tablet and a time delay from generation of the vibration to the sensing thereof is measured, whereby distance from the vibration source to the sensor can be measured. If the vicinity of the leading edge of the envelope of registration is sensed when sensing the vibration, the effects of reflected waves from the periphery of the tablet are reduced. To this end, the envelope is differentiated to detect an inflection point. The peak gain frequency of the differentiating circuit is greater than the frequency of vibration generated by the vibration source. As a result, the phase of the output signal produced by the differentiating circuit is advanced by about .pi./2 with respect to the phase of the input signal, thereby making it possible to sense vibration more quickly.
