Abstract: A switch device includes: a printed circuit board provided with a connector; a rubber sheet; an operating knob; an operating mechanism; an operating mechanism plate; and a housing having a side surface provided with an insertion hole and a bottom surface provided with a discharge hole. The rubber sheet has a connector portion discharge path configured to guide the liquid entering the housing through the insertion hole to the discharge hole. The connector portion discharge path has one end connected to a part of the rubber sheet covering the connector, extends to be inclined from the one end toward the discharge hole provided on the bottom surface, and has the other end formed in a vicinity of the bottom surface and separated from the rubber sheet covering the connector. A gap exists between a lower end portion of the rubber sheet covering the connector and the other end.

The discharge hole is located in a lower portion of a space between an inner surface of the housing and the rubber sheet. A bottom portion exists between the discharge hole and the rubber sheet.

Abstract: A seat control device includes: a control unit configured to control movement of an electric seat; and a seating detection unit configured to detect whether an occupant is seated on another seat. When the electric seat moves in a direction of the other seat, in a case in which the occupant seated on the other seat is detected, the control unit moves the electric seat in the direction of the other seat in a first control mode including a process for suppressing the occupant from being pinched between the electric seat and the other seat. When the electric seat moves in the direction of the other seat, in a case in which no occupant seated on the other seat is detected, the control unit moves the electric seat in the direction of the other seat in a second control mode not including the process.

Abstract: A seat control device is a control device of an electric seat. The seat control device includes: a control unit configured to control an operation of the seat; a pinching detection unit configured to detect pinching of an object occurring while the seat is moving; and a seating detection unit configured to detect whether or not an occupant is seated on the seat. In a case in which the pinching detection unit detects pinching and the seating detection unit does not detect seating of the occupant, the control unit moves the seat in a reverse direction by a predetermined amount. In a case in which the pinching detection unit detects pinching and the seating detection unit detects seating of the occupant, the control unit moves the seat in the reverse direction by an amount smaller than the predetermined amount.

Abstract: A seat control device is configured to control an operation of an electric seat including a seat portion and a backrest portion. The seat control device includes: a first control unit configured to control an operation of the seat portion; a second control unit configured to control an operation of the backrest portion; and a pinching detection unit. In a case in which the pinching detection unit detects pinching during operations of both the seat portion and the backrest portion, the first control unit performs control to bring the seat portion into a pinching- free state in accordance with a direction of the operation of the seat portion before the pinching occurs, and the second control unit performs control to bring the backrest portion into a pinching-free state in accordance with a direction of the operation of the backrest portion before the pinching occurs.

Abstract: To prevent the occurrence of pinching again at another place due to a seat that reversely moves at the time of occurrence of pinching, and shorten the time until the seat that has stopped after the reverse movement moves to a target position. When the seat control device detects that pinching has occurred while the seat moves from the operation start position to the target position, the seat control device rotates the motor backward to move the seat from the pinching position in the reverse direction by the reverse movement amount. In this case, when the seat movement amount from the operation start position to the pinching position is larger than a predetermined reference value, the seat is moved to the reverse position using the reference value as the reverse movement amount. The reverse position is a position that does not exceed the operation start position.

Abstract: A motor case of a vibration motor has a first tubular part and a first inward flange integrally formed in a flange shape in the inward direction from the upper opening end of the first tubular part. A rotary shaft 30 is supported in an upper oil-impregnated bearing and a lower oil-impregnated bearing, and an upper portion of the rotary shaft protrudes from the motor case. The rotary shaft is inserted into a soft washer, with the soft washer between the rotor unit and the upper oil-impregnated bearing. A weight is eccentrically fixed to the upper portion of the rotary shaft, and an attraction magnet is fixed to the motor case and attracts the weight toward the motor case side. A retainer, which prevents the upper oil-impregnated bearing from coming out in the upward direction, is formed on the motor case.

Abstract: If closing operation to the passenger's seat sub switch continues for not less than a prescribed time period Tb, a passenger's seat relay contact on a close side is turned ON. If the closing operation to the passenger's seat sub switch thereafter ends before a prescribed time period Tc elapses, the passenger's seat relay contact on the close side is kept ON. If opening operation to the passenger's seat sub switch continues for not less than the prescribed time period Tb, a passenger's seat relay contact on an open side is turned ON. If the opening operation to the passenger's seat sub switch thereafter ends before the prescribed time period Tc elapses, the passenger's seat relay contact on the open side is kept ON. The invention is applicable to an automatic window system and the like.

Abstract: The invention improves detection accuracy of interposition at a vehicle window. An interposition detector determines that a window at a passenger's seat has interposition if motor current for opening and closing the window at the passenger's seat does not decrease to be less than a predetermined threshold but increases to be not less than a second threshold, or if the motor current does not decreases to be less than the predetermined threshold but increases at a predetermined or more increase rate. The interposition detector determines that the window at the passenger's seat does not have interposition if the motor current is less than the predetermine threshold. The invention is applicable to an automatic window system and the like.

Abstract: The image reading device of the present invention reads images by using a visible light and an invisible light that are generated by a single light source. The fluorescent lamp is provided with a pair of internal electrodes and a pair of external electrodes. It generates a visible light with a higher intensity than an infrared light when switching a feeder circuit on to generate a discharge between the external electrodes. On the other hand, it generates an infrared light with a higher intensity than a visible light when switching another feeder circuit on to generate a discharge between the internal electrodes. Therefore, the fluorescent lamp has a reading mode using the visible light, and a reading mode using the infrared light. And, a lamp controller selectively switches the emission mode of the fluorescent lamp.
