To improve the efficiency of pressure detection, a driver applies a positive-phase signal to a capacitance element from an opposite side to a coupling point in a control device. Another driver applies a reverse-phase signal to another capacitance element from an opposite side to the coupling point. A control unit detects pressures applied to the capacitance elements based on a potential fluctuation at the coupling point.

The speed of pen position detection is improved without increasing the circuit area and the current consumption. A sampling circuit samples a signal and outputs sampling data. A arithmetic circuit calculates a real part and an imaginary part of the sampling data. The arithmetic circuit classifies the real part of the sampling data into one of a plurality of groups and classifies the imaginary part of the sampling data into one of the groups according to an order of output of the sampling data from the sampling circuit. Then, the arithmetic circuit adds together real parts of sampling data belonging to a group and adds together imaginary parts of sampling data belonging to a group for each of the groups, and calculates amplitude and phase of the signal by using an addition result of the real parts and an addition result of the imaginary parts of each of the groups.

A plug for manufacturing a seamless steel pipe is disclosed. The plug includes the surface layer made of molybdenum or molybdenum base alloy coming in contact with a workpiece to be drilled and the core covered with the surface layer. The surface of the core being in contact with the surface layer is formed uneven. According to the invention, the surface layer and the core are strongly joined together, and the life of the plug is elongated.
