A medical manipulator includes an actuator block having a motor, a coupler detachably mounted on the actuator block and having a rotor connected to a rotatable shaft of the motor, a distal-end working unit mounted on a distal end of a joint shaft, which extends from the coupler and is operatively connected to the rotor by a wire, an encoder for detecting an angular displacement of the motor, and a controller for reading a signal from the encoder and comparing the read signal with an operation command value for energizing the motor through a feedback loop. The controller outputs a signal having a level greater than the resolution of the encoder and a lower operation limit of the motor within a range in which the distal-end working unit remains still, and monitors the angular displacement of the motor for thereby determining whether the feedback loop is malfunctioning or not.

An LCD and a touch display panel that can be integrated in the LCD are provided. The touch display panel comprises an active device matrix substrate that includes multiple sensing lines disposed on multiple data lines correspondingly and arranged parallel thereto, and multiple sensing devices formed on multiple scan lines. When an external pressure is exerted, a current is generated in the sensing lines, and the X and Y coordinates of the touch point is determined from a slight leakage current generated in the scan lines. The conventional external touch screen LCD device is substantially improved in response accuracy of the touch coordinates, material costs, and mechanical thickness.

A method of querying a hierarchically organized sensor network, said network being sensor network with a global coordinator node at a top level which receives data from lower level intermediate nodes which are either leader nodes for lower level nodes or sensor nodes, wherein a sensor node i at a lowest level receives a signal Y(i,t) at time t, said method including constructing a sketch Swkt=(Swkt1, . . . , Swktn) for an internal node k fromSwktj=∑i∈LeafDescendents⁡(k)⁢∑q=1i⁢bwiq·riqj,wherein component Swktj is a sketch of a descendent of node k, ritj is a random variable associated with each sensor node i and time instant t wherein index j refers to independently drawn instantiations of the random variable, bit bwit represents a state of sensor node i for signal value w=Y(i,t) at time t, and LeafDescendents(k) are the lowest level sensor nodes under node k, wherein said sketch is adapted for responding to queries regarding a state of said network.

A glove compartment is provided in an instrument panel of a vehicle. A lid selectively opens and closes an opening formed in the instrument panel. A gap is defined between side edges of the lid and side edges of the opening when the lid closes the opening. Gap adjusters hold the side edges of the lid with respect to the side edges of the opening when the lid closes the opening, thereby adjusting the gaps. A locking mechanism locks the lid in a state closing the opening. An unlocking mechanism cancels the locked state of the lid. The unlocking mechanism includes an extrusion pin that is configured to push the lid to the outside of the opening when canceling the locked state of the lid.

A gas oven having a gas supplying passage to supply gas to a burner is provided. The gas oven includes an ON / OFF valve to open / close the gas supplying passage, and a flow rate modulating valve connected to the ON / OFF valve in series so as to change the cross-sectional area of a passage, thereby supplying a proper amount of gas to a cooking cavity in response to the change of a cooking area. When a cooking cavity is divided into individual cooking cavities while a divider is mounted, the flow rate modulating valve is open / closed at a smaller opening degree than the maximum operating degree, and thus may be able to prevent a cooking substance from being carbonized in the individual cooking cavities.

In order to enable utilization of a personal address book by another person while maintaining security, in case display of information on an information destination registered in the address book is requested from an unauthenticated user, a display is executed in a state where address information (fax number, e-mail address etc.) is concealed (for example by a mosaic pattern), and information on the information destination, displayed with the address information in such concealed state, can be designated as the information designation.

A hybrid electric vehicle includes a wet clutch device that establishes and interrupts a connection between an engine and an electric motor, and a transmission switchable between a driving range in which driving force can be transmitted to driving wheels and a non-driving range in which transmission of the driving force is interrupted. When a battery temperature is greater than a warm-up determination value while the vehicle is at a standstill with the transmission switched to the non-driving range, the wet clutch device is kept disengaged. When the battery temperature is less than the warm-up determination value, a battery warm-up control unit switches the wet clutch device into engaged state to connect the engine and the electric motor together and vary driving force of the electric motor alternately to a positive side and a negative side so as to repeatedly charge and discharge the battery.
