Even when a connection board has a large thickness tolerance, a stable connection is achieved by absorbing the tolerance so as to stabilize a contact pressure between the connection board and contacts. In a unit in which electrode groups of a connection board are in pressure contact with elastic contacts formed integrally with an inner housing to connect thereto, the inner housing is provided inside an outer case of a card edge connector through an elastic member to be freely movable forward and backward in a thickness direction of the connection board. The positions of the elastic contacts are adjusted by forward or backward moving the inner housing in accordance with the thickness of the connection board inserted into board insertion slots, so a pressure contact force with the elastic contacts is substantially equalized, irrespective of the size of the thickness of the connection board.

A contact includes a contact unit in contact with a terminal of a circuit board, to establish electric connection; and a barrel unit to contain the contact unit. The contact unit has a first contact point to come into contact with the terminal in an early stage of a relative slide operation in a connection direction when connected to the circuit board, and to be inclined according to the slide operation; a second contact point to swing toward the circuit board according to the inclination of the first contact point, and to be brought into contact with the terminal after a delay from the contact of the first contact point against the terminal; and a contact fulcrum portion. The barrel unit has protrusion support portions to support the contact fulcrum portion. Contact surfaces between the contact fulcrum portion and the protrusion support portions are each a rolled surface.

A socket for an electrical part to prevent a bad electrical connection with a circuit by preventing a deformation of a tip of a contact pin. The contact pin of the present invention comprises one terminal contacts to a terminal of the electrical part and the other terminal contacts to the circuit. When a tip of the other terminal is pressed to a substrate under a state that first and second holes of first and second holding plates are shifted each other, an upper terminal of the held portion of the other terminal contacts to a lower surface of the second holding plate, and makes the second holding plate to separate from the first holding plate against a spring force of a urging member. At this time, the portion projecting from the lower surface of the first holding plate toward the substrate moves into the first hole.

An apparatus of the invention comprises an operation inputting element for designating one of a plurality of functions; a function executing element for executing the function designated by the operating inputting element; a measuring element for measuring the time during which each of the functions has been executed by the function executing element; and a chargeable amount computing element for computing a chargeable amount based on the execution time measured by the measuring element regarding each of the functions.

Electronic money apparatus and an electronic circuit

A socket for an electric component provided with a plurality of contact pins in a socket body. The contact pin each have a lower contact part that is electrically conductive with a contact point on a substrate, an upper contact part that contacts the terminal of the electric component when pressure is applied, and an upper spring part that is located between the lower contact part and the upper contact part, that is elastically deformed when pressure is applied, and that, by its elasticity, presses the upper contact part against the terminal. The contact pins are each formed in such a shape that the location of the contact point with respect to the terminal does not change when pressure is applied and the upper contact part is rotated about the contact point (contact projection) of the upper contact part and the terminal.

An image display device capable of reducing power consumption with improved effectiveness even when a sync signal sensor fails to sense both horizontal and vertical sync signals, wherein when a first sync signal sensor fails to sense both horizontal and vertical sync signals, a main power source, a heater power source device, and a first sync signal sensor power source device are turned off. Power is thus saved. When a second sync signal sensor senses at least one of the horizontal and vertical sync signals, the first sync signal sensor power source device that was turned off is turned on.

Terminal device, accounting system and data processing method

A timing data table in which timing data is registered for respective types of video signals defined by frequency and polarity of a respective synchronizing signal is provided in a nonvolatile memory. A main control part retrieves the timing data table with the type of the video signal as a retrieval key to acquire pertinent timing data, and, using this timing data, necessary adjustment parameters (that is, horizontal position adjustment parameter, horizontal size adjustment parameter, vertical position adjustment parameter and vertical size adjustment parameter) are calculated by operations and outputted to a horizontal deflection control circuit and to a vertical deflection control circuit. Thereby, a video display apparatus and a video display method capable of reducing time required to make adjustments and performing correct and highly responsive video display regardless of the types of video signals are provided.

The size of an image displayed on a tube surface is varied while maintaining the aspect ratio thereof at a constant. First, if there is information of an arbitrary horizontal-size variable parameter and a vertical-size variable parameter because of parameters supplied previously by adjustments, the horizontal/vertical size of a raster formed at that time can be obtained, and the aspect ratio thereof can be obtained on the basis of the horizontal/vertical size of the raster. Then, during a zoom mode, the vertical-size variable parameter corresponding to the updated horizontal-size variable parameter is computed so that the detected aspect ratio becomes constant, and the raster size is changed in accordance with these values.
