  • Patent number: 11295533
    Abstract: A product image representing an upper body of a vehicle having a reference shape and a shift index segment image linearly extending from each of a plurality of designated virtual space locations of the product image in each of a plurality of directions of virtual spaces are displayed. Each of the plurality of designated virtual space locations corresponds to each of a plurality of designated real space locations of the upper body of the vehicle having the reference shape. A length of the shift index segment image represents a quantity of a virtual space position shift amount. The “virtual space position shift amount” corresponds to a real space position shift amount in a direction of a real space at a designated real space location of the upper body based on reference data of the upper body.

  • Publication number: 20210294929
    Abstract: An accuracy evaluation apparatus evaluates accuracy of coupling portion where first component having first coupling surface and second component having second coupling surface are coupled to each other. The apparatus includes: display unit; and CPU and memory. The CPU is configured to perform: acquiring design data and measurement data of the components; calculating error between design reference point on the coupling surfaces in the design data and reference points on the coupling surfaces corresponding to the design reference point in the measurement data; and calculating interference degree at the design reference point when coupling components based on the error. The display unit displays design model of the components based on the design data and superimposes indicator representing the interference degree on the design model at the design reference point.

  • Patent number: 10488300
    Abstract: A vibration-sensor-integrated vibration exciter 4 has a chassis 21, an excitation unit 22, a magnet 23, a yoke 24, a vibration sensor 25, a fixed plate 26, a moving plate 27, coil springs 28a to 28d, a retaining plate 29, and a crisscross plate 30. Shafts 31a to 31d are fixed to the fixed plate 26. The excitation unit 22 is fixed to the crisscross plate 30. Four vibration-proof rubber members 32a to 32d are installed to the crisscross plate 30 at 90-degree pitches with same radius centering on the excitation axis of the fixed excitation unit 22. The crisscross plate 30 is installed to the retaining plate 29 through the vibration-proof rubber members 32a to 32d. A vibration applied to the chassis 21 is absorbed by the vibration-proof rubber members 32a to 32d, to prevent the yoke 24 from being dislocated in lateral direction due to the vibration.

    Abstract: A phototransistor having a non-linear light vs. conductivity characteristics and an organic electroluminescent layer are sandwiched by a pair of electrodes, a predetermined voltage is applied to the pair of electrodes, and address light is irradiated on a phototransistor to let a current flow in the phototransistor, thus causing the electroluminescent layer to emit light. It is therefore possible to drive the device to present crosstalk-free gradation display with a high contrast ratio.
