  • Publication number: 20240404151
    Abstract: A haptic illusion setting program is a program for setting a type of a haptic illusion for a haptic illusion presentation device that presents the haptic illusion that makes a user feel as if the user were touching unevenness by controlling a vibration pattern. The haptic illusion setting program causes a computer to perform an acquiring process and an image generating process. The acquiring process is a process that acquires, as setting parameters for determining the type of the haptic illusion, a coarseness parameter (FIN) representing the coarseness of unevenness and a sharpness parameter (SHA) representing the sharpness of unevenness. The image generating process is a process that generates a reference image (RI) that changes in a manner that depends on the value of each setting parameter.

  • Publication number: 20240157588
    Abstract: A handle includes a casing grippable by a user with a hand and fingers. The casing incorporates a first vibrating body and a second vibrating body. A control device is capable of generating a first sense of force in a first direction by controlling a vibration pattern of the first vibrating body. The control device is capable of generating a second sense of force in a second direction by controlling a vibration pattern of the second vibrating body. Then, the control device can control the vibration pattern of the first vibrating body and the second vibrating body so that the first direction and the second direction are different directions and an imaginary line headed toward the first direction from the first vibrating body and an imaginary line headed toward the second direction from the second vibrating body are not located on the same straight line.

  • Publication number: 20240157539
    Abstract: A handle includes a housing that includes a first vibrating body and a second vibrating body. A control device is able to generate a first force sensation in a first direction by controlling a vibration pattern of the first vibrating body and to generate a second force sensation in a second direction by controlling a vibration pattern of the second vibrating body. The control device is able to control so as to set the first direction and the second direction are the same. The control device is able to control the vibration pattern of the first vibrating body and the vibration pattern of the second vibrating body so as not to allow a virtual line directed from the first vibrating body in the first direction and a virtual line directed from the second vibrating body in the second direction to be positioned on a single line.

  • Publication number: 20240071898
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip having a main electrode on a front surface thereof, a wiring board having a front surface to which a rear surface of the semiconductor chip is bonded, a sealing member sealing the wiring board and the semiconductor chip, and an adhesive layer including at least two adhesive films that are laminated to each other. The adhesive layer is provided on surfaces of the wiring board and the semiconductor chip so that the sealing member seals the wiring board and the semiconductor chip via the adhesive layer. As a result, the sealing member is able to reliably seal the semiconductor chip and wiring board via the adhesive layer, thereby preventing an occurrence and extension of separation.
