  • Publication number: 20230129309
    Abstract: A controller samples, after determination of a start of a user's press on a pressable input surface of a pressure sensing member, a value of an output voltage of the pressure sensing member, and determines whether one of a first condition and a second condition is satisfied to accordingly determine whether the user's press on the pressable input surface is terminated. The first condition represents that the sampled value of the output voltage is lower than a predetermined second voltage threshold. The second condition represents that the output voltage has converged to a base voltage. The base voltage is a value of the output voltage of the pressure sensing member with no user's press on the pressable input surface of the pressure sensing member.

  • Patent number: 11620758
    Abstract: In an electrical characteristic acquisition apparatus, a condition under which an electrical characteristic of a target object is acquired can be inputted by an operator, and an electrical characteristic of the target object is acquired under the input condition. In a case where a condition is inputted as a condition under which an electrical characteristic of the target object is acquired, an erroneous determination is made due to the different conditions that the target object is not an electrical component which complies with the nominal value, or, in a case where a difference between a value representing an electrical characteristic of the target object and a nominal value of the target object is larger than a permissible tolerance, an erroneous determination is made that the target object is defective. Here, these erroneous determinations are prevented from being made.
