  • Patent number: 11935710
    Abstract: A rotary operating device includes a case, a rotating shaft member, an operation member, and a sensor. The case has a cavity having an annular shape with an opening at a top. The rotating shaft member is rotatable with respect to the case. The operation member rotates together with the rotating shaft member. The sensor is disposed within the cavity to detect rotation of the rotating shaft member. The case has an inner peripheral wall. The operation member has an inner cylindrical portion. The rotating shaft member has a peripheral wall that extends downward and along an outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall. A first gap between the inner peripheral wall of the case and the peripheral wall of the rotating shaft member is smaller than a second gap between an inner peripheral surface of the rotating shaft member and the inner cylindrical portion of the operation member.

  • Patent number: 11636399
    Abstract: A first sample acquisition unit acquires a parameter sample from a prior distribution. A function execution unit acquires data from a distribution by supplying the sample to a function. A degree-of-similarity calculation unit calculates the degree of similarity between the data and correct data using a kernel function. A kernel mean construction unit constructs a kernel mean of a posterior distribution from the degree of similarity, the sample, and the kernel function. A second sample acquisition unit acquires a new parameter sample from the kernel mean and the kernel function. A sample evaluation unit determines whether the difference between new data obtained by supplying one sample selected from the new samples to the function and the correct data is less than a prescribed threshold value. When it is determined that the difference is less than the prescribed threshold value, the sample evaluation unit estimates the selected sample as a parameter.

  • Patent number: 10014604
    Abstract: An interior body is housed in a tubular exterior body. The interior body includes a spring portion, a movable portion, and a fixing portion, which are integrated together. Elastic arms are disposed on the movable portion so as to extend downward. Each elastic arm includes, at a lower end portion, an elastically pressing portion, which is elastically pressed against a tubular internal surface of the exterior body. Since the elastically pressing portion is elastically pressed against the exterior body, electric signals are more likely to flow between the movable portion and the exterior body and more likely to be prevented from leaking to the spring portion.
