The invention concerns a method for producing three-dimensional objects (6) layer by layer using a powdery material which can be solidified by irradiating it with a beam (4) of charged particles, which method comprises the following steps: successive application of powder layers to a working area (5), and fusing together successive layers of said three-dimensional object (6) by successively irradiating the powdery layers with said beam (4). The invention is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: determining whether lifting of powdery material from the working area (5) occurs using a powder-lifting detection device (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 1Od, 1Oe) capable of generating a signal (S) upon detection of lifting of powdery material from the working area (5), and interrupting the irradiation of at least a part of the working area (5) where powder lifting occurs using the signal (S) generated by the powder-lifting detection device (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 1Oe) for automatically trigging the interruption. The invention also concerns an apparatus (1) for producing three-dimensional objects (6) layer by layer using a powdery material which can be solidified by irradiating it with a beam (4) of charged particles, said apparatus (1) comprising means for successive application of powder layers to a work table, and a radiation gun (3) for delivering said beam (4) of charged particles, wherein the inventive apparatus (1) comprises a powder-lifting detection device (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e) capable of generating a signal (S) upon detection of lifting of powdery material from the working area (5).

A mobile electronic device (100), suitable for operation in a first configuration and a second configuration, includes a first housing (102) and a second housing (104) coupled to the first housing. The second housing includes a rotatable keypad (202). The rotatable keypad rotates when the first housing (102) and the second housing (104) are changed from a first configuration to a second configuration.

An earphone or a removable component for use with an earphone are disclosed. As an example, the removable component can be an ear tip. According to one aspect, an improved ear tip can be provided for use with a headphone. The ear tip is suitable for in-ear operation and has a deformable outer member. The deformable outer member enables the ear tip to readily conform to a user's ear. The ear tip can also include an inner member to structurally support the outer member and to facilitate attachment to a headphone.

An exhaust gas turbocharger comprising: a twin scroll turbine housing; a turbine wheel positioned in the twin scroll housing; an exhaust gas inlet, operatively connected to port exhaust gas through each side of the twin scroll turbine housing and onto the turbine wheel; a bypass, operatively connected to the exhaust gas inlet to port exhaust gas around the twin scroll turbine housing to bypass the turbine wheel; and a valve, operatively positioned to control exhaust gas flow to each side of the twin scroll turbine housing and the bypass.

A removable component for use with an earphone is disclosed. As an example, the removable component can be an ear tip. According to one aspect, an improved ear tip can be provided for use with a headphone. The ear tip is suitable for in-ear operation and can have a cosmetic deformable outer member. The deformable outer member can enable the ear tip to readily conform to a user's ear. The ear tip can also include an inner member to structurally support the outer member and to facilitate attachment to a headphone. Methods for forming such ear tips are also disclosed.

Even if a driver's seat use picture able to be seen from a driver and not able to be seen from a passenger's seat passenger and a passenger's seat use picture able to be seen from a passenger's seat passenger and not able to be seen from the driver are displayed on the common screen, suitable operational control desired by a user is realized. Means are provided for judging whether operations on operating switches 42DR to 47DR and 42PA to 47PA arranged so that an operating region on the display screen for the driver's seat use picture GDR and an operating region on the display screen for the passenger's seat use picture GPA overlap are from the driver's seat direction or from the passenger's seat direction and performing operational control for the picture able to be seen from that direction.

Within a moving robot of narrow footprint, having quick traveling performance on a plane-surface, as well as, anti-tumbling function, and further being suitable for operations under coexistence with a human being, being able to travel coping with traveling situations on a level difference, etc.: in front and rear of main driving wheels 2 and 3, each being controlled through the inverted pendulum control, are disposed supporting legs 4 and 5, tips of which can be lifted up and down, wherein the tips of the supporting legs 4 and 5 are positioned to keep a predetermined distance between a traveling surface, when running on the inverted two-wheels travel, and the supporting legs 4 and 5 are fixed or either one in the fall-down direction is thrust out into the fall-down direction, so as to protect it from falling down. Further, upon the basis of detection information of floor-surface distance sensors 4e and 5e and side-surface distance sensor 4f, 4g, 5f and 5g, which are provided at the tips of the supporting legs 4 and 5, the robot senses an existence of a level difference and / or an inclined surface, so as to let the supporting legs to escape from the level difference and / or the inclined surface, and holds the position of gravity center thereof, stably, through other one of the supporting legs, being landed on the ground, and the main driving wheels 2 and 3; thereby enabling to travel over the level difference and the inclines surface.
