  • Patent number: 11493363
    Abstract: A capacitive sensor including a substrate, detection and drive electrodes, and a controller. The substrate includes one or a plurality of insulating layers including first and second faces. The detection electrode includes mutually electrically connected detection lines arrayed at spaced intervals on the first face. The drive electrode includes mutually electrically connected drive lines each arranged on the first or second face and located between adjacent two of the detection lines. When a target approaches the detection electrode being charged and discharged by the controller, the approach causes a change in a first capacitance between the detection electrode and the target. When a target approaches the detection and drive electrodes while the controller is supplying drive pulses to the drive electrode, the approach causes a change in a second capacitance between the detection electrode and the drive electrode. The controller detects the target referring to changes in the first and second capacitances.

  • Patent number: 11432430
    Abstract: The heat dissipation device comprises a fluid direction changing part that changes a fluid traveling direction in which a fluid travels. The fluid direction changing part has a base end and a tip. The base end is fixed to a second surface facing a first surface inside a tubular body. The tip is arranged to face multiple fin ends of multiple fins of a heat sink. The fluid direction changing part is entirely or partially arranged downstream of the fluid traveling direction from an upstream end surface of the heat sink. The fluid flows into the heat sink through the upstream end surface, and also passes through a flow path without fin other than a flow path between fins for passage of a fluid formed between the multiple fins to flow into the heat sink through parts of the multiple fin ends exposed at upstream positions from the tip of the fluid direction changing part.

  • Patent number: 11215813
    Abstract: An image display device element, a filter element, and a reflective element allow a brightened display screen displaying red, green, blue, and composite colors through use of a single light-emitting portion. The image display device has a first element where a boundary wavelength between light absorption and light transmission or between reflection in an oblique direction and light transmission is variable or fixed and a second element where a wavelength region to be reflected is variable or fixed. The boundary wavelength of the first element and/or the wavelength region of the second element is variable. A positional relationship exists where light transmitted by the first element is incident on the second element. Controlling overlap between light transmission bands of the elements through varying the boundary wavelength of the first element and/or the wavelength region of the second element varies a band and amount of light reflected by the second element.
