Abstract: An information providing device includes a display unit configured to display information to a preset view area by emitting light, a detection unit, a first determination, a second determination unit, and a control unit configured to perform an operation control of the display unit. The display unit displays the information in a main display mode and a sub display mode having a less influence on a travelling of a nearby vehicle than the main display mode has. While the information is displayed in the main display mode, the control unit switches the main display mode to the sub display mode or stops an operation of the display unit when the first determination unit determines that the possibility of entry exceeds the threshold, or when the second determination unit determines that the nearby vehicle exists in the view area.

Abstract: An optical scanner and an optical scanning device, an optical sensor unit, a coded data reader, and a POS system employing an optical scanner. The optical comprises an elastically deformable element, a vibrational input segment disposed at a first end of the elastically deformable element, a driven segment disposed at a second end of the elastically deformable element, a vibration source for inducing vibration in the vibrational input segment, whereby the vibration induced in the vibrational input segment produces elastic deformation of the elastically deformable element and consequent movement of the driven segment, and a stop for limiting a range of the movement of the driven segment.

Abstract: In a planar linear pulse motor, the relative movement between the stator and the armature is positively restricted when no electric current is supplied to the drive coils by means of a lock member provided on either the armature or the stator. This lock member is attracted to a permanent magnet by its biasing magentic flux so as to be brought into contact with whichever of the armature or stator does not have the lock member on it. As a result, the armature may be locked up without consuming any electric power. If the lock member is attached to the stator or armature by means of an elastic member, the vertical dimension of the member attaching the lock member to the stator or armature can be reduced. Furthermore, the mechanical strength and the security of the engagement of the lock member to the stator or armature can be increased. As a result, the planar linear pulse motor disclosed is compact and highly reliable.
