Abstract: An operating panel includes: a panel member; a switch unit provided on the panel member and configured to be pressed by a user; a sensor unit configured to detect a capacitance that changes according to a positional relationship between a finger of the user and the switch unit; and a control unit configured to receive the capacitance detected by the sensor unit, and the control unit determines a contact starting point at which the finger of the user comes into contact with the switch unit based on an inflection point appearing in a change waveform of the received capacitance, and determines, when the capacitance further increases from the contact starting point and exceeds a predetermined value, an operation state in which the switch unit is being operated.

Abstract: To prevent generation of a loud impact sound, a tactile generation apparatus is provided with a vibration generator on a back surface of a vibration member. The vibration generator is a solenoid including a movable core and a coil. The movable core is capable of moving close to and away from the vibration member. The coil displaces the movable core toward the vibration member to deform the vibration member when energized, and moves the movable core away from the vibration member when deenergized, so as to vibrate the vibration member due to an elastic restoring force of the vibration member.

Abstract: An operation panel provided on a vehicle is provided with: a panel member exposed to an interior of a vehicle cabin of the vehicle; an operation part provided on the panel member; and a load sensor provided so as to face a back surface of the panel member, the a load sensor being configured to detect that the operation part has been operated based on a load caused by a displacement of the panel member, wherein the load sensor is provided at a position where the displacement of the panel member is greater than a displaced amount of the operation part when the operation part is operated, the panel member has a projected portion projecting out from the back surface such that a tip end portion faces the load sensor, and the projected portion is formed of divided projected portions, the divided projected portions being provided by being divided into a plurality of parts.

Abstract: An image display control device displays, on a monitor, images of the periphery of a vehicle that are captured by a left camera and a right camera installed in the vehicle. The device includes: a vehicle detection unit which detects another vehicle from the images captured by the left camera and the right camera; an enlargement unit which, when the other vehicle is detected by the vehicle detection unit, subjects the images captured by the left camera and the right camera to enlargement processing on the basis of a delay time the images take to be displayed on the monitor; and an output unit which outputs the images subjected to the enlargement processing by the enlargement unit to the monitor.

Abstract: A touch display including a liquid crystal display having a surface displaying images and a capacitive touch-sensitive panel superposed on a surface of the liquid crystal display and enabling an input operation in reaction to the displayed image; wherein being arranged on the liquid crystal display in order from the surface of the liquid crystal display toward an outer surface of the liquid crystal display, a second quarter-wave plate converting a light passing through into a circular polarization by shifting phase, the capacitive touch-sensitive panel, a first quarter-wave plate having a same orientation to the second quarter-wave plate, a polarizer converting the light passing through into a linear polarization, a decorated sheet protecting an upper surface of the capacitive touch-sensitive panel, and an antireflection layer preventing a surface-reflection of outside light, in order to obtain the antireflection effect while keeping costs low.

Abstract: A radio base station which receives a first and a second communication channel from a radio communications device comprises a control circuit for detecting the reception quality of the first communication channel, conducting an inner-loop power control for controlling transmission power of the first communication channel from the radio communications device based on the reception quality and an inner-loop power control target value, and adding a power control offset to the inner-loop power control target value before starting a communication through the second communication channel.

Abstract: Base stations (100-1 to 100-3) communicate with terminals (102-1 to 102-2), divides a used frequency into a plurality of frequency blocks, and assigns the divided frequency block to terminal (102-1 to 102-2), in which a position at which terminal (102-1 to 102-2) exists is determined, and if it is determined that terminal (102-1 to 102-2) exists at the edge of cell (101-1 to 101-3), the assigned frequency block is set as a cell edge frequency block that is to be dynamically assigned at the edge of cell (101-1 to 101-3). In addition, if the cell edge frequency block has already been assigned to another terminal, this cell edge frequency block is assigned to terminal (102-1 to 102-2).
