  • Patent number: 11364798
    Abstract: In a shift device, contact projections of a rotation cylinder make contact with side faces of recesses of an detent plate due to an urging force so as to urge a lever toward a shift position side. The contact projections make line contact with the side faces of the recesses. This enables the contact amount between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be increased, enabling the contact pressure between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be lowered.

  • Patent number: 11115446
    Abstract: A chat management apparatus allocates a plurality of chat rooms to talk servers in a distributed manner, and performs a control operation to switch to another talk server and deliver content when a failure occurs in one talk server. Further, by providing content posted from a user terminal to a history data storage unit, which is an independent external storage apparatus different from the talk servers, and storing the content, it makes unnecessary to perform synchronization processing of content data posted on a chat room even when the plurality of chat rooms is made redundant and managed in the plurality of talk servers in a distributed manner as a countermeasure against a failure.

  • Patent number: 11054022
    Abstract: In a shift device, when a first rotor cam is rotated in a reverse direction, recessed portions in the first rotor cam are engaged with protruding portions on a second rotor cam, and after a lever is moved rotationally, an engagement between the recessed portions and the protruding portions is released. So, when the first rotor cam is rotated in the reverse direction, not only can the recessed portions and the protruding portions be engaged with each other, but also the engagement between the recessed portions and the protruding portions can also be released.
