  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9199817
    Abstract: A medium discharging apparatus includes a pair of discharging rollers, a stacker, and a pressing member. The pair of discharging rollers are configured to rotate to discharge a sheet of medium held therebetween. The discharged sheet of medium and are stacked onto the stacker. The pressing member is disposed downstream of the discharging rollers with respect to a path into which the medium is discharged by the discharging rollers. The pressing member is configured to traverse the path and to swing about a shaft due to a gravity force thereof. When the sheet of medium is discharged by the discharging rollers, the pressing member interferes with the sheet of medium and exerts the gravity force on the sheet of medium downward toward the stacker while swinging about the shaft.

  • Patent number: 9036166
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a discharge mechanism including a drive roller rotatable in a normal direction to discharge a medium and in a reverse direction reversed to the normal direction, and a driven roller in contact with the drive roller and configured to be rotated by the rotation of the drive roller. The apparatus also includes a stacker on which the medium discharged from the discharge mechanism is to be stacked. The driven roller is movable in position depending on the rotation of the drive roller in the normal direction or the reverse direction, such that the driven roller is located at a first position in the vicinity of the stacker when the drive roller is rotating in the normal direction, and the driven roller is located at a second position further away from the stacker than the first position when the drive roller is rotating in the reverse direction.
