  • Publication number: 20100126270
    Abstract: An inertial force sensor includes a weight, a first fixing portion linked to the weight, a second fixing portion linked to the weight via the first fixing portion, a first electrode on a first surface of the weight, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and first and second elastic portions elastically deforming so as to displace the weight. The first elastic portion displaces the weight along an X-axis but not along any of a Y-axis and a Z-axis. The second elastic portion displaces the first fixing portion along the Y-axis but not along any of the X-axis and the Z-axis. This inertial force sensor detects an acceleration at high sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20070075956
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide mobile terminal apparatus capable of suppressing occurrence of noise while keeping required display capacity in accordance with the operation condition of the apparatus. A control portion 16 and a display portion controller 19 control driving of a display portion 20 comprised of a liquid crystal display unit, and change the driving operation such as a drive system, a driving frequency, etc. into a suitable driving condition in accordance with the operation condition of the apparatus. For example, driving operation giving priority to the image quality of an image displayed on the display portion 20 is performed using sequential scanning drive such as one-line inversion drive when a movie is displayed in a camera operation mode or the like. Thus, visibility is improved.

  • Patent number: 6454054
    Abstract: In an elevator, a transmission sheave is attached to a mount structure fastened to a guide rail. A speed governor rope suspended from a speed governor is coupled with an elevator car that ascends and descends in a shaft, and is wound on the transmission sheave. An idler pulley is provided for increasing a winding angle with respect to the transmission sheave by changing movement of the speed governor rope 4. A position detection apparatus is provided for detecting the position of the car in the shaft based upon the rotation of the transmission sheave. The position detection apparatus can be installed in an empty space in the shaft without the need of a repair of an existing speed governor to save the repair costs of the elevator.
