A driver includes a delay-time adjuster. A data clock is inputted to the delay-time adjuster through a data-clock signal line. While receiving input of a load signal that is a sampling signal of a second register, the delay-time adjuster adjusts a delay time of the data clock so that a phase difference between the data clock and gradation data inputted into a first register through a gradation-data signal line can be set to a predetermined value. After the completion of the input of the load signal, the delay-time adjuster holds a data clock for the adjusted delay time, and outputs the delayed data clock as a shift clock for a shift register.

Torque measuring device assuring timely maintenance work

A sensor with a strain gage is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of a distortion generating body which is a half-blindly hollowed cylinder having a prescribed thickness and diameter between a driving flange to be fixed to a rotating body and a driven flange . The sensor converts a physical quantity corresponding to torque acting on the cylinder into an electrical signal. And the electrical signal is further converted into an optical signal by a light emitting element and transmitted to a stationary section. The optical signal transmitted from the rotary section is made incident on a circumference of an optical fiber . The light made incident on the circumference of the optical fiber is transmitted to an end of the optical fiber. The light which has reached the end is received at a light-into-electricity conversion element to be converted into an electrical signal. Thus, a measured value of torque is obtained. Accordingly, torque of a rotating body can be measured in a noncontact manner with low electric power.
