  • Patent number: 11481046
    Abstract: An electronic pen includes a housing, a core body having a front end that protrudes from an opening in a side of the housing, and a coupling member housing one or more components of the electronic pen. The housing includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion separated in an axial direction of the housing. The first housing portion includes an opening arranged such that the front end of the core body protrudes outside while the first housing portion is electrically separated from the core body. A protrusion portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of the coupling member electrically separates the first and second housing portions. One side of the cylindrical coupling member in the axial direction with respect to the protrusion portion is fitted to the first housing portion, and another side in the axial direction is fitted to the second housing portion.

  • Publication number: 20220269359
    Abstract: An electronic pen cartridge is replaceable with a refill of a stationery ballpoint pen such that the stationery ballpoint pen housing can be reused as the electronic pen housing. The electronic pen cartridge is of a capacitance type and includes a pen tip which is projectable from an opening on one side in an axial direction of the pen housing. Inside the tubular cartridge housing are an electronic circuit including a signal transmission circuit configured to generate a signal to be supplied to a position detection sensor, and a rechargeable power storage device configured to supply a power supply voltage to the electronic circuit. A coil is wound around a rear end portion of the cartridge housing on a side of the cartridge housing opposite from the pen tip side. The power storage device is charged by a current induced in the coil based on an externally supplied magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20220262297
    Abstract: A peripheral image display device is configured to: acquire wheel speeds of a vehicle; determine a slip state or a non-slip state of a wheel of the vehicle based on the acquired wheel speeds; acquire multiple camera images from respective cameras; store, as a past image, the camera image indicating a range in a traveling direction of the vehicle; generate a peripheral image indicating a periphery of the vehicle by synthesizing the camera images, display the peripheral image on a display. In the non-slip state, the peripheral image display device displays a transparent image showing, in a transparent manner, a portion under a floor of the vehicle using the past image selected based on current wheel speeds is. In the slip state, the peripheral image display device deactivates the display of the transparent image.

  • Publication number: 20220197411
    Abstract: A thin electronic pen main body is provided to enable a position detection sensor operated by a capacitance method to reliably detect pointed positions. There is provided an electronic pen main body that houses an electronic pen in a cylindrical housing in such a manner that at least a pen tip of the electronic pen may be projected from one opening of the cylindrical housing in an axial direction. The electronic pen main body includes a conductive center electrode, of which one end in the axial direction forms the pen tip, and a peripheral electrode disposed around the center electrode except at least for the pen tip, wherein the peripheral electrode is insulated from the center electrode. When the one end of the center electrode forming the pen tip is projected to the outside from the opening of the cylindrical housing upon use, a portion of the pen tip side of the peripheral electrode is also projected to the outside from the opening of the housing.
