A driving device includes a base and a conductive pattern portion provided on a surface of the base. The conductive pattern portion has a finger touch portion, touching portions and conductive connecting portions connecting the finger touch portion and each of the touching portions. When a surface of the base is contacted with a multi-touch display of an information processor, each of the touching portions activates a corresponding touching area of the multi-touch display. Thus, a predetermined action is executed by the information processor.

A driving device includes a base and a conductive pattern portion provided on a surface of the base. The conductive pattern portion has an electric charge accumulating portion, touching portions and conductive connecting portions connecting the accumulating portion and each of the touching portions. When a surface of the base is contacted with a multi-touch display of an information processor, each of the touching portions activates a corresponding touching area of the multi-touch display. Thus, a predetermined action is executed by the information processor.

A nose pad for camera includes a base plate, at least one projecting portion mounted to the base plate, and a sheet portion mounted to an edge of the base plate at an edge of the sheet portion and extending obliquely upwardly over the base plate and the sheet portion. The projecting portion has an arc shape so that the nose pad can fit a contour of a nose. The sheet portion is designed to have a reasonable space in between the sheet portion and the projecting portion, so that the nose of the user can softly touch the camera when the nose pad is used.

Nose pad for camera

A nose pad for a camera includes a flat sheet portion and at least one projecting portion projecting from a front surface of the flat sheet portion. The projecting portion has an inclined surface at one side thereof so that when the nose pad is attached to the camera, a nose of a user can be put on the inclined surface to immovably hold the camera supported with hands. When a shutter switch is pushed, the camera can be held properly without moving the camera.

A blur preventing device of a camera includes a base portion having a depressed portion on one side thereof to allow a nose of a user to be inserted therein; a sebaceous matter absorbing layer disposed on a surface of the base portion including the depressed portion; and an adhesive layer disposed on a back surface of the base portion to be detachably attached to a back side of the camera. Since a user can hold the camera by pressing the nose against the back side of the camera through the blur preventing device, a picture without blur can be taken. Moreover, there is no risk of staining the back of the camera with the sebaceous matter since the blur preventing device is provided with the sebaceous matter absorbing layer.

A sewing machine including a needle bar to which a sewing needle conveying a sewing thread is secured, a main shaft to which the needle bar is connected, a loop catcher which cooperates with the sewing needle to catch a loop of the sewing thread conveyed by the needle, a catcher shaft to which the loop catcher is connected, a drive motor which drives at least one of the needle bar and the loop catcher by rotating a corresponding one of the main shaft and the catcher shaft, a first sensor which detects a first reference rotation position of at least one of the main shaft and the catcher shaft and generates a first detection signal indicating that the one shaft is taking the first reference rotation position, a second sensor which detects a second reference rotation position of the drive motor and generates a second detection signal indicating that the drive motor is taking the second reference rotation position, and an indicating device which indicates, based on the first detection signal, that the one of the main shaft and the catcher shaft is taking the first reference rotation position and indicates, based on the second detection signal, that the drive motor is taking the second reference rotation position.
