  • Patent number: 10592058
    Abstract: A touch panel driving device, for sequentially performing scanning for selecting a pair of adjacent transmission signal lines and a pair of adjacent reception signal lines on a touch panel, includes a reception circuit configured to receive reception signals whose waveforms are changed by a capacitance change caused by an operation from the pair of reception signal lines of the touch panel and generate a detection value for monitoring a touch panel operation. The reception circuit generates the detection value by comparing levels of the reception signals from the reception signal lines while sequentially switching capacitance values of a measurement capacitance unit connected to one of the reception signal lines. The measurement capacitance unit includes capacitance units each forming a certain capacitance value by parallel connection or series connection of capacitors as a capacitance unit forming one capacitance value used for switching the capacitance value of the measurement capacitance unit.

  • Patent number: 10496231
    Abstract: A touch panel having a noise guiding member for guiding noise current such as static electricity generated during operating is provided. The noise guiding member is made of a metal material, and is arranged in a position that a front surface side end portion does not project from a front surface of a housing unit. In a state that a back surface side end portion is connected to the ground G, the noise guiding member passes through a back surface from the front surface of the housing unit. The touch panel can reduce manufacturing costs without design restriction, and control adverse effect subjecting by noise current due to external discharge such as static electricity generated when operating the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 10267631
    Abstract: An altitude sensor and a temperature sensor are installed at a flying object. The flying object or a control device for controlling an operation of the flying object corrects temperature information acquired by the temperature sensor to temperature information at an altitude by using altitude information acquired by the altitude sensor. The flying object or the control device determines whether an air current is ascending or descending based on temperature changes at the altitude. The temperature changes are obtained from the corrected temperature information.

  • Patent number: 10014149
    Abstract: In an X-ray radiation source, a counter wall made of alkali-containing glass, out of walls of a housing of an X-ray tube, is sandwiched between a filament and an electric field control electrode to each of which a negative high voltage is applied. This configuration prevents an electric field from being generated in the counter wall and thus suppresses precipitation of alkali ions from the glass. Therefore, it prevents change in potential relationship between electrodes at different potentials such as the filament, grid, and target and enables stable operation to be maintained, without occurrence of a trouble of failure in maintaining a desired X-ray amount.
