Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch panel that includes a touch sensor panel configured to detect coordinates of a touch position provided on a screen configured to display an object for an input operation; and a processor coupled to the touch panel and configured to: suppress output of coordinate information of a contact position on an invalid area when a contact to the invalid area set in a part of the screen of the touch sensor panel is detected; output coordinate information of a contact position of the contact to an area other than the invalid area when a contact to the area other than the invalid area is detected; and change the invalid area in accordance with a degree of overlap of a display area of the object and a standard invalid area.

Abstract: An image conversion apparatus extracts from among pixel rows parallel to an object pixel row, a first pixel row overlapping an aperture shape; and further extracts a second pixel row having the number of pixels successively overlapping the aperture shape equal to or greater than that of the first pixel row. The image conversion apparatus calculates a value of a second pixel in the case of converting an original image, by referring to a storage unit that stores a value of a first pixel in the case of converting the original image. For example, the image conversion apparatus defines an average of the value of the first pixel in the case of converting the original image, a value of a diffusion source pixel (IN[5][2]), and a diffusion source pixel (IN[5][3]) as the value of the second pixel in the case of converting the original image.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch panel, a pressure sensor that detects pressure applied to the touch panel, a vibrator and a processor, wherein, at the time point at which the pressure becomes less than a threshold during a decrease in the pressure, the processor operates the vibrator when the processor determines that a touch is being performed on the touch panel, and the processor does not operate the vibrator when the processor determines that a touch is not being performed on the touch panel.

Abstract: A reservoir container has a reservoir, and a communicating passage that guides brake fluid to the reservoir. The reservoir of the reservoir container that accumulate the brake fluid is made to a hole extending in a transverse direction so that a size of the reservoir container in a height direction is made small while fully securing the capacity of the reservoir. Moreover, a horizontal plane projected area of the communicating passage is made smaller than that of the reservoir, so that a sealing part of the communicating passage is shortened, and ensures the seal integrity.

Abstract: An input device outputs coordinate information of an input position detected by a touch panel to an upper-level device as it is, without change, as long as the value of pressure on the input position is smaller than a second pressure threshold. The input device stores coordinate information of the input position detected while the value of pressure on the input position is between a first pressure threshold and the second pressure threshold in the memory, and outputs the coordinate information stored in the memory, instead of the coordinate information detected by the touch panel to an upper-level device if the value of pressure on the input position reaches or exceeds the second pressure threshold.
