Publication number: 20110115734Abstract: A touch panel device includes an operation panel, an image display unit, a control generator, a vibrator, and a controller. The operation panel receives an operation input upon contact of a surface of the operation panel by a manipulator. The image display unit, disposed facing the operation panel, displays an image. The control generator generates an image of a control displayable on the image display unit. The vibrator vibrates the operation panel when a control is operated by the manipulator contacting a position on the operation panel corresponding to a position of the image of the control displayed on the image display unit. The controller causes the vibrator to provide a tactile sensation using vibration, corresponding to a shape of the control at a contact position between the manipulator and the control on the operation panel as the manipulator moves on the operation panel to move the control in the image display unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2010Publication date: May 19, 2011Inventors: Seigo HARASHIMA, Masato Takada, Mayumi Nakamura

Patent number: 7586085Abstract: The broad range measurement exploiting the usual propagated light and the high resolution measurement mode exploiting near-field light are to be accomplished with a sole as-assembled optical probe. To this end, light radiated through an optical probe 13 having a light shielding coating layer 33 formed for defining a light radiating aperture D or light radiated at a core 31 of the optical probe 13 is propagated, as the optical probe 13 is moved in a direction towards and away from a surface for measurement 2a. The core of the optical probe is coated with a light shielding coating layer 33. In this manner, a spot of propagated light propagated through the core 31 or a spot of near-field light seeping from the light radiating aperture D is formed on the surface for measurement 2a, and light derived from the spot of light is detected.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2004Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignees: Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology, Hoden Seimitsu Kakokenkyusho Co., Ltd., Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Motoichi Ohtsu, Motonobu Kourogi, Shuji Mononobe, Takashi Yatsui, Koji Yamamoto, Toshiyuki Inokuchi, Masato Takada
