  • Patent number: 11472222
    Abstract: A multifunction pen is provided including a refill for a writing implement such as a ballpoint pen on a tip end side and including an electromagnetic induction-based electromagnetic induction refill on a rear end side such that there is no need to perform a switching operation between the writing refill and the electromagnetic induction refill. The multifunction pen includes a shaft tube 10 including openings at both of a tip end and a rear end, a writing refill 40 that is housed inside the shaft tube 10 and that includes a writing tip exposed through the opening at the tip end, and an electromagnetic induction refill 50 that is housed inside the shaft tube 10, that is exposed through the opening at the rear end, and that is employed in electromagnetic induction-based input.

  • Patent number: 11221686
    Abstract: A multifunction pen includes plural refills including an electromagnetic induction touch pen. A knock operation to one of knock rods each of which is connected to a rear end of each of the plural refills causes a tip of one refill of the plural refills to move from a standby position in which the tip stays inside a shaft tube to an in-use position in which the tip projects from a tip end opening of the shaft tube. At least one refill from writing refills other than the electromagnetic induction touch pen is provided with a metal writing tip, and a tip of the electromagnetic induction touch pen at the in-use position is separated from the tips of the writing refills at the standby position by a distance such that electromagnetic induction by the electromagnetic induction touch pen is not affected by the tips of the writing refills.

  • Patent number: 10921909
    Abstract: An input touch pen includes a digitizer refill contained inside a shaft tube and including a contact tip and a stepped tip portion rearward thereof, and a knock member protruding from an opening at a rear end of the shaft tube. The contact tip can protrude and retract through an opening at a tip end of the shaft tube. The stepped tip portion has a larger diameter than the opening at the tip end. A relationship A>X>Y is satisfied, wherein X represents a knock stroke of the digitizer refill, A a distance from the stepped tip portion to an inner surface at the tip end side when the contact tip is sunken inside the opening, and Y a distance that the contact tip is moved by operation of the knock member from a state of protruding from the opening to a state of being sunken inside the opening.

  • Publication number: 20190271813
    Abstract: A ferrule has a through-hole with first and second ends to receive an optical fiber fixed between the ends. The through-hole includes first to fifth portions defining the through-hole. The first portion has an inner diameter being smaller away from the first end. The second portion has an inner circumferential surface continuous with the first portion and along an optical axis of the optical fiber. The third portion has an inner circumferential surface continuous with the inner circumferential surface of the second portion and has an inner diameter being smaller away from the second portion. The fourth portion has an inner circumferential surface continuous with the inner circumferential surface of the third portion and along the optical axis. The fifth portion has an inner circumferential surface continuous with the inner circumferential surface of the fourth portion and has an inner diameter that is smaller away from the fourth portion.

  • Publication number: 20140042338
    Abstract: A stage apparatus includes a column for irradiating a sample with a charged particle beam, a vacuum sample chamber to which the column is attached, moving tables disposed in the vacuum sample chamber to move the sample relatively to the column, and position detectors for detecting positions of the moving tables. The stage apparatus includes an attachment member disposed between the column and the vacuum sample chamber. The attachment member has an opening which restricts movement of the column in a same direction as directions of the moving tables. Reference mirrors in the position detectors for detecting the positions of the tables are attached to the attachment member. Each of the reference mirrors has an adjustment apparatus to adjust a relative angle between the reference mirror and the laser beam.

  • Publication number: 20100164422
    Abstract: An electric rotary machine is disclosed which can adjust relative angles of sub-rotors continuously and regardless of torque direction without generating an attractive force between the field magnets of the sub-rotors. The electric rotary machine includes: a stator having a winding; a dual rotor which is rotatably disposed with a gap from the stator and divided axially along a shaft into a first rotor and a second rotor each having field magnets with different polarities arranged alternately in a rotation direction; a mechanism for varying the axial position of the second rotor relative to the first rotor continuously; and a non-magnetic member located between the first rotor and the second rotor.
