A map display system including a unit that stores map information including information about a facility icon, a display unit, a position detecting unit that detects a touch position on the screen of the display unit when the screen is touched, and a scroll control unit that performs follow scrolling in which a map image on the display unit is scrolled following movement of the touch position detected by the position detecting unit, and that performs inertial scrolling in which the map image is scrolled on the basis of a moving direction and speed of the touch position when touching the screen is released. When the facility icon is placed in a first given region having a center at a cursor displayed on the screen while the follow scrolling is being performed, the scroll control unit scrolls the map image so that the facility icon moves to a center position of the cursor and when the facility icon is placed in the first given region while the inertial scrolling is being performed, the scroll control unit continues the inertial scrolling.

The present invention prevents foreign matter from infiltrating into a control valve and enables reduction in the cost of the valve. A strainer is mounted on an attachment portion of a valve sleeve, and a valve spool is disposed in the sleeve so as to be free to slidably advance and retreat. The strainer includes engagement portions mcontacting first contact sites &#x3b5;and &#x3b5;formed on the attachment portion and a contact portion contacting second contact sites &#x3b5;and &#x3b5;formed on the attachment portion. Since the strainer includes the engagement portions min contact with the first contact sites &#x3b5;and &#x3b5;and the contact portion in contact with the second contact sites &#x3b5;and &#x3b5;, the sleeve has sufficient sealing contact with the strainerat the first and second contact sites &#x3b5;to &#x3b5;

The invention is intended to provide novel solid state displacement elements that have an extent of displacement. The solid state displacement element has an intercalation compound in which a polar compound (B) is mixed with an inorganic layered compound (A), and produces a strain when a voltage is applied.

A laminated piezoelectric transducer, comprising a laminate of a plurality of piezoelectric plates with paste electrodes inserted therebetween and bonding the plates together. Rows of metal extrusions are made by electroless plating onto the paste electrodes on the peripheral outer surface of the laminate. Each row of the metal extrusions is formed onto and electrically connected to alternate paste electrodes, so that by electrically connecting each row of the metal extrusions, the laminate of the piezoelectric plates is electrically connected in parallel. This laminated piezoelectric transducer allows the formation of the paste electrodes on the entire or at least substantially the entire main surfaces of the piezoelectric plates, and eliminates the need for the usual metal plate electrodes inserted between the piezoelectric plates.
