Provided is a flexible, durable capacitive sensor that achieves high flexibility in designing wiring arrangement. A capacitive sensor includes a dielectric layer and a plurality of electrode units placed on both sides of the dielectric layer in the front-back direction. The electrode unit includes an insulating layer having through holes extending therethrough in the front-rear direction, electrode layers placed on one side of the insulating layer in the front-back direction, and jumper wiring layers placed on the other side of the insulating layer in the front-back direction and electrically connected to the electrode layers through the through holes. The insulating layer has an elongation at break of 60% or more, a tension set of less than 5%, and a volume resistivity of 1.0&#xd7;10&#x3a9;&#xb7;cm or more.

Capacitive sensor, sensor sheet, and method for manufacturing capacitive sensor

A mattress including: substrates configured to support a human body; and a plurality of cells arranged on an upper face of each substrate, the cells including respective fluid chambers. The substrates are divided from each other at a location corresponding to a folding part provided to a portion of a bed in a length direction thereof such that cell units are constituted by the respective substrates and the cells arranged thereon. The cell units are disposed such that the cell units are adjacent to each other with the folding part interposed therebetween. A connecting body is disposed between the cell units such that the connecting body straddles the cell units and is supported by the cells of the cell units.

The concave streak portion, in which the welding inclination surfaceis formed, is provided on the side wall; the projecting portion, which is fitted into the concave streak portionwhen the substrateand the lid bodyoverlap to form the switch case, is provided on the lid body; when the substrateand the lid bodyare overlapped, the switch caseis sealed by contacting the seal ringwith the flange portionand the welding shoulder portioninterferes with the welding inclination surface; the substrateand the lid bodyare jointed by melting the interference portion by high-frequency welding; the release region K, which keep the communicating state of the inside of the switch casewith the outside is designed by notching the projecting portionfrom the root thereof.

Switch

A sewing machine having a motor drive operating in response to a controller to rotate in forward and reverse rotation directions. A jogging angle may be set and the drive operated automatically for rotation in forward and/or reverse directions as a function of various operating conditions so that the needle is stopped in an optimum position for piercing a material.

Apparatus and method for controlling sewing machine

A drive control apparatus for a driven machine is designed to easily check which of a plurality of parameters indicating the control characteristics of the driven machine have been changed from their factory-set initial values. Initial parameter values are stored in a list in a first memory and current parameter values are stored in a second memory. When a display request is given, the initial values of parameters stored in the first list in a control section are compared to the current values of the parameters stored in nonvolatile memory. The identity of the parameters that have been changed from their initial values are displayed on a liquid crystal display. Also, the stored initial value list is displayed.

Drive control apparatus for driven machine and parameter display method

An electromagnetic switch is provided which comprises a movable switching contact movably supported by a movable switching contact assembly arranged on a support plate, a fixed switching contact, a magnetic coil assembly operable to urge the movable switching contact into contact with the fixed switching contact, and a retainer for retaining the fixed switching contact apart from the movable switching contact at a preselected interval. The retainer includes a switching contact mounting portion, a supporting portion secured to the support plate, and first and second connecting portions connecting the switching contact mounting portion and the supporting portion to form a polygonal frame structure which is so constructed as to be deformed under preselected forces applied thereto to adjust the positional relation between the movable and fixed switching contacts.

Electromagnetic relay

In the pedal assembly of a sewing machine drive device, a potentiometer operating member is guided by a mounting stand secured to the pedal stand, to control the slide shaft of a direct acting type potentiometer, and a speed changing pedal including a depressing board to depress the potentiometer operating member with its one end portion is coupled to the pedal stand with the other end portion. When the speed changing pedal is stepped on, a signal is outputted to change the speed of rotation of the sewing machine according the movement of the pedal thus stepped on. The pedal stand may have an opening with which the pedal is swingably engaged. In addition, signal pedals may be arranged in alignment with the speed changing pedal with the same mounting means provided at the position of those pedals, so as to allow the pedals to swap in position with one another.
