A keyboard unit for an electronic musical instrument is constructed by a plurality of keys, a key frame, a plurality of key guides and a pressure sensor. On the key frame, a plurality of keys are arranged such that each of them can freely rotate about the predetermined fulcrum point. The key guides are provided on the key frame, while each of the key guides supports each of the keys such that each of the keys can slide along guide surfaces of each of the key guides when the key is depressed. The pressure sensor is provided at the guide surface of the key guide. This pressure sensor senses the pressure applied thereto in a lateral direction corresponding to a disposing direction of the keys in the keyboard unit when the key is depressed. When the key is moved in the lateral direction while being depressed down, the pressure sensor senses the pressure applied to the key in the lateral direction so that the predetermined musical parameter (e.g., tone pitch) of the musical tone to be generated is controlled responsive to the sensed pressure. The pressure sensor can be made by use of the pressure-sensitive rubber or pressure-sensitive ink, of which resistance is altered responsive to the pressure applied to it.

Because a navigation device or method according to the present invention extracts only route guidance expressions which a speaking person, such as a fellow passenger, provides for the driver, interprets the abstract route guidance expressions to determine a concrete route guidance expression, and outputs information to be presented corresponding to the concrete route guidance expression, the navigation device enables the driver to understand the content intuitively and can prevent the driver from mishearing the speaking person's utterance and from driving the vehicle toward a direction which the speaking person does not intend.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, a first side frame and a second side frame facing each other and supporting a part of the image forming portion, a lower frame connecting the first side frame and the second side frame below the image forming portion, a lower voltage power supply board including a low voltage circuit configured to lower a voltage from an external power supply to a specified voltage and supply the specified voltage to other units, and a cover. The lower frame has an upper surface facing upward and includes a plurality of fixing portions. The low voltage power supply board is fixed to the fixing portions of the lower frame. The cover covers the lower voltage power supply board on a side thereof opposite to the lower frame.

Provided is an improved method of joining a protective tape having one object to suppress generation of bending of a semiconductor wafer after a back-grinding process. The protective tape is supplied toward the semiconductor wafer suction-held on a chuck table, and an intermediate sheet is supplied along an upper side of the protective tape. Then, the intermediate sheet is interposed between a joining member and the protective tape along a surface of a base material in the protective tape so as to be movable. Under this state, the joining member and the semiconductor wafer move relative to each other in a horizontal direction, whereby the protective tape is joined to a surface of the semiconductor wafer.

In an object recognition apparatus, a first division unit and a second division unit each partitions an image into a plurality of regions. A first calculation and a second calculation unit each derives, for each of the plurality of regions partitioned. A first comparison unit and a second comparison unit each compares the derived characteristic quantities in between at least two images, for each of the plurality of regions. A recognition unit recognizes a region where the object is located, based on the comparison result.

Keyboard apparatus has a frame and a key pivotably mounted on the frame. Key guide structure includes a key-side guide member provided inside the key, and a frame-side guide member provided on the frame. The key-side guide member has at least one convexly-formed portion projecting from the inner surface of a distal end portion of the key, remote from a pivot point of the key, toward the pivot point. The frame-side guide member permits movement of the key-side guide member along a pivoting direction of the key, but limits lateral movement of the key-side guide member.

An authentication apparatus includes an input unit which inputs information on a user's fingerprint, an enrolled-image storage which stores a plurality of enrolled images, namely a plurality of fingerprint images, to be verified against a fingerprint image generated by the input unit, and an authentication unit which authenticates the user's fingerprint in a manner such that verification of the fingerprint image against the plurality of enrolled images stored in the enrolled-image storage is performed sequentially in two stages. In the two stages in the verification performed in the authentication unit, enrolled images to be used in the subsequent stage are selected, in the earlier stage thereof, by verifying the fingerprint image against the plurality of enrolled images, and then the user's fingerprint is identified by verifying the fingerprint image against the selected enrolled images in the subsequent stage.
摘要:
In order to acquire a suitable fingerprint image by correcting an elongated fingerprint image, a line sensor acquires fingerprint image as a plurality of line-shaped images. A computation unit computes a similarity value by use of an evaluation function for evaluating the degree of similarity between the line-shaped images. The similarity value represents the degree of similarity between a first line-shaped image and a second line-shaped image which serve as a similarity evaluation target and are included in the plurality of the line-shaped image. A compression unit compresses the first line-shaped image and the second line-shaped image when the similarity value is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value to generate a new line-shaped image. A generation unit generates the entire fingerprint image by combining the new line-shaped image with the other line-shaped images.

A data holding unit holds data sets each composed of a fingerprint image and recording setting data associated with the fingerprint image. A fingerprint image acquisition unit acquires a fingerprint image newly from a user. A similarity value calculation unit compares the fingerprint image newly acquired from the user and the fingerprint image held in the data holding unit, and indicates a degree of similarity therebetween as a similarity value by using a similarity evaluation function for indicating a degree of similarity between a plurality of types of fingerprint images. A load data selection unit reads recording setting data corresponding to a fingerprint image having a similarity value reaching or exceeding a predetermined value if the fingerprint image is held in the data holding unit, and reads certain data prepared in advance if not.
