  • Publication number: 20100220405
    Abstract: (Problem) To suppress vibration generated while rising of a reciprocating lens actuator using a piezoelectric element or the like as a driving source and to shorten a rising speed. (Solving Means) By setting a time of a rising portion to a period corresponding to a natural frequency of a driving source, it is possible to prevent resonance of the driving source while rising so as to suppress vibration after rising and to increase a rising speed. In addition, by returning to an original point before driving, it is possible to improve reproducibility of movement displacement of the input signal.

  • Publication number: 20080292450
    Abstract: Blower apparatus has: an air duct having suction and supply openings; a blower fan for creating a flow of air in the duct; and an electrostatic atomizer. The atomizer includes a hollow body exposed to the air in the duct. The body is provided therein with an electrostatic atomization chamber, and has a barrier, an inlet and an outlet. The barrier is put in the duct so that a part of the air flowing in the duct collides with the front of the barrier and thereby pressure-increased air is obtained. The inlet is located at the front side of the barrier so that the pressure-increased air can enter the chamber through the inlet. The outlet is located at the rear side of the barrier so that all the pressure-increased air higher than that of the air flowing in the duct, from the chamber can flow out into the duct.

  • Patent number: 7360750
    Abstract: The air valve includes a valve body for controlling operations to open and close the communication between an air pressure chamber and an air outlet, a piezoelectric element for generating driving force in the form of displacements, and a displacement enlarging mechanism for enlarging the small displacements generated by the piezoelectric element by the principle of a pry and applying the enlarged displacements to the valve body. The enlarged displacements cause a large and sufficient gap to be developed between the air pressure chamber and the air outlet when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element. When the applying of voltage to the piezoelectric element is stopped, the resetting force of the piezoelectric element itself causes the gap to be closed quickly.
