Abstract: Provided is a switch attached coaxial connector that improves an isolation characteristic between a common terminal and a closed terminal. In a normal state where a coaxial plug is not connected to the switch attached coaxial connector, a movable contact portion biased by a leaf spring piece portion elastically contacts a fixed contact piece portion so that a closed terminal and a common terminal are electrically connected to each other. When the coaxial plug is connected to the switch attached coaxial connector, the movable contact portion moves rearward from the fixed contact piece portion by the plug pin abutting against a plug contact portion so that the contact with respect to the fixed contact piece portion is disconnected and the electrical connection of the common terminal is switched from the closed terminal to the plug pin.

Abstract: A touch-type input device includes a touch panel including drive electrodes and sensor electrodes. Capacitors are formed at intersections of the drive electrodes and sensor electrodes. A controller determines whether a conductive foreign matter exists on the touch panel from raw data values indicating changes in the capacitances of the capacitors from initial reference values. The controller determines touching of the touch panel from control data values indicating changes in the capacitances of the capacitors from control reference values changed when a conductive foreign matter exists. When the raw data values indicate existence of a conductive foreign matter, the controller sets the control reference value of each capacitor to a raw data reference value corresponding to the present raw data value. The controller updates the initial reference value when the touch-type input device is activated and updates the control reference value when the control reference value is erroneous.

Abstract: A connection structure between two metal plates for mutually positioning and electrically connecting the metal plates is provided by a simple press-in process without using an additional connection part. A curved blade plate curving with a curvature smaller than that of a cylindrical inner wall surface of an insertion hole in one of the metal plates in the same direction as that of the cylindrical inner wall is formed on the other metal plate. The curved blade plate is pressed into the insertion hole while being elastically deformed in the curving direction, so that edges along both side edges of a curved outer peripheral surface each make press contact with the cylindrical inner wall surface. The metal plates are thereby fixed and electrically connected to each other.

In a camera module, which includes a lens unit that has a cylindrical thread portion, a flat plate-shaped imaging device that is mounted on a printed wiring board, and a holder that holds the lens unit and the printed wiring board with maintaining the predetermined positional relationship therebetween, an imaging field of the imaging device is disposed in a space tightly closed by a first spacer that is made into a ring shape made of an elastic material the surface of which is an adhesive surface, and the adhesive surface is exposed at least in an inner peripheral wall of the first spacer. The first spacer may be made of a material that further has favorable thermal conductivity.

Abstract: A touch-type input device includes a touch panel in which drive electrodes and sensor electrodes are arranged in a grid pattern that provide capacitors. The touch-type input device also includes a controller that determines whether or not there is a touch based on data values that each indicate an amount of change in capacitance of each capacitor from a predetermined reference value. The controller sets the reference value by obtaining a parasitic capacitance of each capacitor when the touch-type input device is activated. When determining from a variation range of the parasitic capacitances of the capacitors that an erroneous reference value has been obtained, the controller re-obtains a parasitic capacitance.

Abstract: A transparent input operation plate at least an input operation area of which inside an opening is made of a transparent member is supported on an insulating support member so as to cover an aperture of the opening. A plurality of detection electrodes are arranged on the insulating support member so as to be in contact with the transparent input operation plate around the opening. Transmitting means transmits an alternating-current detection signal that changes relative potentials between an input operation member and the respective detection electrodes. Based on a relative ratio of the reception levels of the alternating-current detection signal appearing on a pair of detection electrodes opposed across the opening, an input operation position of the input operation member in the opposed direction is detected.

When the entry key is moved in the input operation direction, the movement is detected, whereby the entry key itself is used as an input operation key for controlling the operation of the controlled apparatuses arranged in the vehicle.
