A keyboard instrument having a key and a link mechanism provided on a lower side of the key, and the link mechanism has a first member having a first fixing fulcrum, a first link pivotally supported on the first fixing fulcrum on one end side, a second member having a second fixing fulcrum provided further forwards and further downwards than the first fixing fulcrum, a second link pivotally supported on the second fixing fulcrum on one end side and a coupling link configured such that a distance between the other end side of the first link rotating about the first fixing fulcrum in response to a key operation and the other end side of the second link rotating about the second fixing fulcrum in response to the key operation is fixed and remains unchanged, and the second link has a counterweight provided further forwards than the second fixing fulcrum.

Keyboard instrument

A control device includes a processor. The processor controls an electric power supply to an operating part, and charging and discharging of a secondary battery; estimates electric power being supplied to the operating part and the secondary battery; acquires a charge state for a case of charging the secondary battery; and when a determination is made that the electric power estimated by the processor and being supplied to the operating part and the secondary battery is less than electric power required for a predetermined action to be executed by the operating part and, also, the charge state of the secondary battery is a predetermined charge state, controls so as to limit the predetermined action.

Control device, control method, and non-transitory recording medium

A keyboard instrument has a first member having a first fixation fulcrum, a first link rotatably fixed to the first fixation fulcrum at one end side thereof, a second member having a second fixation fulcrum provided further forwards and downwards than the first fixation fulcrum, a second link rotatably fixed to the second fixation fulcrum at one end side thereof, and a coupling link fixed to a key so as to couple the other end side of the first link and the other end side of the second link together.

An electronic apparatus includes a front case, a rear case whose peripheral portion is brought into engagement with a peripheral portion of the front case and an electrostatic capacity type sensor portion which is encompassed by the front case and the rear case. A primary conductive portion, which is brought into engagement with the sensor portion for electrical connection, is formed on part of an inner surface of the peripheral portion of one of the cases which extends to the engagement portion. By adopting this configuration, the electronic apparatus can be fabricated easily and the operation of a touch switch provided in the electronic apparatus can be stabilized.

Electronic apparatus

A photographic print vending apparatus is provided which comprises a media accepting unit which accepts a recording medium having photographic image information stored thereon. An image information reader reads the image information from the recording medium, and a plurality of printers print images based on image data from a processor connected to the image information reader and an advertisement information storage unit. When an advertisement printing mode is set, the processor reads the advertisement information from the advertisement information storage unit, synthesizes the read advertisement information and the image information read by the image information reader, and supplies the synthesized information to the printers as image data.

Printing apparatus and printing method using a plurality of printers and which distributes a print job in accordance with a remaining amount of an expendable supply in each printer

Printing apparatus and printing method

In the present invention, an unwinding shaft in a cassette is rotated to unwind a sheet member by an unwinding mechanism in connection with a movement of a head attaching member when the head attaching member is such a direction as to separate the head member from the sheet member in the cassette. Also, the sheet member is applied with a back tension in a direction opposite to the winding tension by a back tension applying mechanism when the winding shaft winds the sheet member by a winding device of a winding motor.
