Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a display configured to show a first screen and a second screen and circuitry configured to control a position of a cursor on the first screen, on the second screen, and between the first and second screens. The circuitry moves the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located in a peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen. The circuitry restricts movement of the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located outside the peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen.

Abstract: An input apparatus includes: a touchpad that detects an input position; a display unit; and a calculation device configured to: move a display position of a cursor in steps in an identical direction to a variation direction of the input position detected by the touchpad every time the input position varies in an identical direction by a predetermined unit amount; calculate the number of movement steps and the adjustment amount by dividing a value by the predetermined unit amount when the variation direction of the input position calculated during a first predetermined period is equal to a variation direction of the input position calculated during a second predetermined period, the value obtained by adding the adjustment amount calculated during the second predetermined period to the displacement amount calculated during the first predetermined period, the second predetermined period being a predetermined period immediately preceding the first predetermined period.

Abstract: An operating device for a vehicle includes a display, a touch operation surface set at a first predetermined position and pushable and returnable to the first predetermined position after being pushed, a coordinate detecting unit to detect a coordinate indicating a touch position of an operating finger on the touch operation surface, a push detecting unit to detect the push of the touch operation surface, and a control unit to display a cursor in a screen displayed on the display based on the coordinate detected by the coordinate detecting unit and to perform operation details of an item in the screen selected by the cursor based on the push of the touch operation surface detected by the push detecting unit. The control unit does not update the position of the cursor within a predetermined amount of time after the push detecting unit detects the push of the touch operation surface.

Abstract: A touch-type input device includes a touch panel including drive electrodes and sensor electrodes. Capacitors are formed at intersections of the drive electrodes and sensor electrodes. A controller determines whether a conductive foreign matter exists on the touch panel from raw data values indicating changes in the capacitances of the capacitors from initial reference values. The controller determines touching of the touch panel from control data values indicating changes in the capacitances of the capacitors from control reference values changed when a conductive foreign matter exists. When the raw data values indicate existence of a conductive foreign matter, the controller sets the control reference value of each capacitor to a raw data reference value corresponding to the present raw data value. The controller updates the initial reference value when the touch-type input device is activated and updates the control reference value when the control reference value is erroneous.

Abstract: A vehicle operation apparatus is provided for performing an operation on a screen page displayed on a display device using a touch panel. The vehicle operation apparatus includes an operation determination part configured to determine whether a cursor operation of moving a cursor in the screen page by touching the touch panel by an operation finger and sliding the operation finger on the touch panel or a flick operation of scrolling an operation target in the screen page by touching and flicking the touch panel by the operation finger is performed. The operation determination part is configured to change a threshold for determining the performed operation as the flick operation depending on a position of the cursor.

Abstract: An endmill having a shank and a milling head having cutting teeth continuous from a peripheral surface toward a forward tip face, wherein the endmill has a through hole extending from the forward tip face of the head to the shank past the head along a rotation axis of the endmill. The head and shank comprise separate component parts and the head is mounted on the shank by inserting a screw member from the tip end face into the hole and fixing the screw member to the shank.
