20090034677 | Deactivatable measurement apparatus - Measurement apparatus is described that comprises a measurement portion for acquiring object measurements and an output portion (for outputting measurement data relating to the acquired object measurements. A deactivation portion is provided for inhibiting normal operation of the measurement apparatus such that output of the measurement data is prevented. The deactivation portion, in use, reads apparatus usage information from an apparatus usage module and inhibits normal operation of the measurement apparatus if said apparatus usage information fails to meet one or more predetermined criteria. The apparatus usage module may be provided as an integral part of the measurement apparatus or as a separate activation button. The measurement apparatus may comprise a measurement probe such as a touch trigger measurement probe. | 02-05-2009 |
20100195784 | ROTATION SPEED DETECTION CIRCUIT AND MOTOR DRIVER APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A rotation speed detection circuit includes an internal clock generation portion which receives an input of a period signal whose period varies in accordance with rotation speed of a motor and generates an internal clock signal having a predetermined number of pulses in one period of the period signal, and an internal clock counter portion which counts the number of pulses of the internal clock signal for a predetermined period every one period of the period signal and delivers a count value thereof as a digital data signal. | 08-05-2010 |

20110080989 | START-UP CIRCUIT AND START-UP METHOD - A start-up circuit receives a start-up signal instructing start-up of an equipment mounted with the circuit, and executes a predetermined sequence when start-up is instructed by the start-up signal. An oscillator generates a clock signal. A sequence circuit receives the start-up signal and a clock signal output from the oscillator, measures time by counting the clock signal when the start-up signal transits to a predetermined level, and executes a predetermined event at a predetermined timing. The oscillator operates for a period where the start-up signal is at the predetermined level if the start-up signal is at the predetermined level during the period the power key of the equipment mounted with the circuit is being pushed. | 04-07-2011 |
