  • Publication number: 20240155084
    Abstract: A building entrance device (10B) of an intercom device includes a touch operable aerial display (100) for displaying an aerial image (G1, G2) toward a visitor (W1, W2), and a control unit (110). The touch operable aerial display (100) includes: a display device (101) for emitting light; an optical member (102) for reflecting and transmitting light so as to form the aerial image (G1, G2) in a predetermined space; and a detection unit (103) for detecting an operation input of the visitor (W1, W2) to the aerial image (G1, G2). The control unit (110) changes at least one from among a display position, a display angle of the aerial images (G1, G2), and a display mode of a call operation acceptance unit included in the aerial images (G1, G2).

  • Patent number: 10800489
    Abstract: A rider operates a driving source switching lever to switch an operation mode to a normal traveling mode or an auxiliary moving mode. During the normal traveling mode, a motorcycle travels by a driving force generated by an engine. During the auxiliary moving mode, the motorcycle moves at a low speed by a driving force generated by a vehicle driving motor. When the rider operates a forward-backward movement operator during the auxiliary moving mode to put the forward-backward movement operator in a forward movement instruction state, the vehicle driving motor is controlled such that the motorcycle moves forward. When the rider operates the forward-backward movement operator during the auxiliary moving mode to put the forward-backward movement operator in a backward movement instruction state, the vehicle driving motor is controlled such that the motorcycle moves backward.

  • Patent number: 10457288
    Abstract: A motorcycle includes an engine that generates a driving force during a normal traveling mode, and a vehicle driving motor that generates a driving force for moving a vehicle main body forward and backward during an auxiliary moving mode. A traveling speed of the vehicle main body is detected by a speed sensor, and the detected traveling speed is presented to the rider by a speedometer. A rotation speed of the vehicle driving motor or a rotation speed of a gear rotated by the vehicle driving motor is detected by a rotation speed sensor as a physical quantity that changes depending on a moving speed of the vehicle main body during the auxiliary moving mode. The vehicle driving motor is controlled based on the detected rotation speed such that the moving speed of the vehicle main body is close to or coincides with a target speed.

  • Patent number: 8920588
    Abstract: A substrate may include a plurality of wirings arranged side by side to extend in a predetermined direction, and a protective insulating layer formed between adjoining pixels and formed as a rib protruding from the substrate. An emissive layer formation method for transferring, to the substrate, an emissive layer provided on a transfer element may include pressing the emissive layer on the transfer element onto the protective insulating layer and affixing it through pressure to a top surface of the rib. Thereby the emissive layer transferred to the substrate is confined to an area which is surrounded by the rib of the protective insulating layer, the substrate and the transfer element, and diffusion of the emissive layer is controlled by the area, thereby transferring the emissive layer in the area.
