An actuator suitable for use in a joint device for driving a robot arm or in a subject follow-up device in a video camera, etc., is designed to have a mobility of a freedom of two degrees or more and is adapted to drive a movable part directly using first piezoelectric motor elements each of which consists of piezoelectric elements having a non-ring-like configuration and an elastic body and second piezoelectric motor elements each of which consists of at most one ring-like piezoelectric element and an elastic member. The actuator exhibits a simplified structure, is small and lightweight, provides a powerful driving power and has a wide range of mobility.

In a speed detecting apparatus for detecting the rotational speed of a rotating body mechanically coupled thereto, an encoder generates one cycle of a sine-wave signal each time its angular position of rotation changes by a predetermined unit amount. A zero-crossing pulse is generated at each zero-crossing point of the sine-wave signal generated from the encoder, and the phase angle of the sine-wave signal is detected on the basis of the zero-crossing point of the sine-wave signal generated from the encoder. In a high speed range, the rotational speed is detected on the basis of the ratio between the number of zero-crossing pulses and the time interval between a first one and a last one of the plural zero-crossing pulses. On the other hand, in a low speed range, the rotational speed is detected on the basis of the combination of the number of the zero-crossing pulses appearing within a predetermined period of time and the phase angle of the sine-wave signal.

A distributed control system has a plurality of controllers, program apparatus, and man-machine systems, which are all interconnected by LAN. The program apparatus is provided with functions corresponding to approval and rejection of operating conditions of the controllers, and a program is allotted to each controller by minimizing the values of the functions. Each controller is structured with the capability of detecting both a load ratio and a traffic quantity of the LAN, on the basis of the detection results, a change of allotment of the program allotted to each controller may be made.

A control apparatus for controlling a PWM inverter, the PWM inverter receiving AC power and generating an AC output having a controlled frequency to be supplied to an AC motor, comprises a circuit for generating, on the basis of a given running command, a PWM signal controlling the inverter with a given sampling period, and a circuit for controlling the PWM signal generating circuit, whereby the AC motor generates an electromagnetic tone preselected so as to correspond to desired information when the AC motor is driven by output of the inverter controlled by the PWM signal. The above described desired information may be information representing the running state of the motor or selected music.

A vortex flow meter includes a measuring tube in which a fluid is carried, a vortex generator provided in the measuring tube for developing a Karman vortex in the fluid, a magnetic field generator generating a magnetic field across the measuring tube downstream of the vortex generator, a pair of electromotive force measuring electrodes provided downstream of the vortex generator for measuring an electromotive force generated by the Karman vortex passing across the magnetic field, a pair of reference electrodes provided at locations upstream and downstream of the electromotive force measuring electrodes, respectively, for measuring a potential at each location, and a detector circuit electrically connected to the electromotive force measuring electrodes and the reference electrodes for calculating the flow of the fluid from the electromotive force and the potential measured by the reference electrodes. The flow is calculated by subtracting the potential difference of the reference potential measuring electrodes from the electromotive force measured by the electromotive force measuring electrodes. This allows the flow meter to have an increased measuring range, meet a wide range of flow conditions, have a simple construction, and have measurement accuracy.

When a combination head is on-tracked to an arbitrary cylinder position, a head position controller corrects a head position so as to eliminate an offset amount derived from an offset table. A bias current setting circuit obtains a current set value corresponding to an offset correction amount from a bias current table and supplies the bias current according to the current set value to an MR head. As kinds of offsets, there are a yaw angle offset, a thermal offset, and a core deviation offset.

A digital control system for controlling firing pulses supplied to thyristors for power conversion to desired phases, wherein data necessary for obtaining desired phase control signals is set in a counter which normally counts clock pulses having a predetermined period and the firing pulses are generated in synchronism with the generation of overflow pulses from the counter. The data setting to the counter, which is repeated at a period shorter than that of the source voltage, is performed by reading out the actual count value of the counter by a digital arithmetic processor circuit, by correcting the read value by the use of the value corresponding to a desired phase and by setting the corrected value again in the counter.

A bearded needle comprises a needle shank whose tip is shaped into a thin shank portion by tapering down the thickness of the needle shank. The thin shank portion has a conical projection portion at the extremity thereof. The conical projection portion has a hooking tip portion to form a hooking portion at the tip of the needle shank. The hooking portion has a substantially U-shaped bottom portion that hooks and holds a thread, and includes sloping surfaces each inclining toward an outer edge of the hooking tip portion. The sloping surfaces each extend from the bottom portion over both the conical projection portion and the hooking tip portion.

A cooling device includes a heat-radiating device and a centrifugal pump provided in a closed circulation passage for circulating refrigerant. The centrifugal pump contacts and absorbs heat from heat-generating electronic parts by heat exchange of the refrigerant therein to radiate the heat via the heat-radiating device. The centrifugal pump includes a lower casing that comes into contact with the heatgenerating electronic parts, an upper casing disposed to face the lower casing to form a pump chamber, and an impeller sandwiched between the upper casing and the lower casing. The lower casing includes a recessed conical surface facing the impeller, at least one protrusion provided in a center portion of the recessed conical surface and a contact face with which the heat-generating electronic parts come into contact formed directly below the protrusion on an opposite side of the recessed conical surface.
