  • Publication number: 20160282944
    Abstract: A tactile sense presentation device includes a panel that includes a support substrate, a plurality of electrodes, which are formed on the support substrate, extending in a predetermined direction, and an insulating layer covering the plurality of electrodes; and a drive unit that drives the panel, wherein a tactile sense is presented to an operator based on an electrostatic force generated between the electrodes and the operator by the drive unit applying a signal of a voltage to the electrode, a contact face of the insulating layer that is in contact with the operator has a surface roughness Ra of a predetermined range, and the voltage applied to the electrodes corresponding to an area in which the tactile sense is presented to the operator is a voltage corresponding to the surface roughness Ra of the contact face.

  • Publication number: 20160266685
    Abstract: The tactile sense presentation device, capable of effectively presenting a tactile sense (a sense of texture) on a touch panel, includes: a supporting substrate; a plurality of X-electrodes and Y-electrodes extended in parallel to each other on the supporting substrate; and driving circuits (X-electrode driving circuit, Y-electrode driving circuit) which apply a first-frequency voltage signal to the X-electrode corresponding to information regarding a target region inputted from outside among the plurality of X-electrodes, and applies a second-frequency voltage signal to the Y-electrode corresponding to information regarding the target region inputted from outside among the plurality of Y-electrodes to generate electric beat oscillation in the target region by an absolute value of a difference between the first and second frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20150286335
    Abstract: When an excitation frequency of a touch panel is coincident with or in the vicinity of a frequency of external noise, noise cannot be removed by a bandpass filter. Also when a touch detecting operation period is limited to a short period of time such as a non-address period, frequency resolution is reduced and a noise removal effect of averaging is reduced, so that an S/N ratio is decreased.

  • Patent number: 8628111
    Abstract: Provided is a side airbag device such that locally high stress is prevented from being generated at the sewn portion between panels by high temperature and pressure gas. An inner panel is folded in half, and the upper edges thereof are sewn together by a seam so as to form an inner bag. This inner bag is placed on an outer panel, the outer panel is folded in half, and the periphery thereof is sewn by a seam. An inflator equipped with a distributor is inserted into the inner bag through openings and, and a gas jetting portion is disposed in the immediate vicinity of a communication opening.

  • Publication number: 20130247654
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a sensory stimulus component in a test component with a taste-analyzing liquid chromatograph system. The method includes: measuring the test component with the taste-analyzing liquid chromatograph system to obtain taste evaluation data; and evaluating a persistence of a sensory stimulus intensity of the test component from a continuous intensity change of the test component using the taste evaluation data as an index.
