  • Patent number: 11919272
    Abstract: A multilayer tube (1) includes: an elastic layer (11, 21, 31, 41, 51) formed over the entire length of the multilayer tube (1) and having a predetermined flexural modulus of elasticity; and a hard layer (12, 22, 32, 42, 52) formed over the entire length of the multilayer tube (1), having a flexural modulus of elasticity that is high compared to the elastic layer (11, 21, 31, 41, 51), and disposed more to an outer layer side than the elastic layer (11, 21, 31, 41, 51). A first extremity (10) of the multilayer tube (1) is formed in such a manner that the thickness (H11) of the elastic layer (11) is thicker than the thickness (H12) of the hard layer (12).

  • Publication number: 20240071128
    Abstract: A detection device includes a plurality of optical sensors arranged in a detection area, a light source configured to emit light that is emitted to an object to be detected and is detected by the optical sensors, and a processor configured to perform processing based on outputs from the optical sensors. The processor is configured to determine, based on the outputs of the respective optical sensors obtained at a cycle of a predetermined period, an optical sensor an output of which is to be employed from among the optical sensors.

  • Publication number: 20190376647
    Abstract: A connection structure 10 according to one aspect connects a stationary member 20 and a finger ring member 30 with a magnetic force. The attraction section 22 and the attraction section 34 are formed such that the stationary member 20 and the finger ring member 30 are connected so as to be rotatable relative to each other about a rotation axis C. The attraction section 22 and the attraction section 34 are formed such that the magnetic force by which the attraction section 22 and the attraction section 34 are attracted to each other is stronger when the relative positional relationship between the stationary member 20 and the finger ring member 30 in accordance with the relative rotation is any of a plurality of specific positional relationships than when the relative positional relationship is not the specific positional relationship.

  • Publication number: 20190146558
    Abstract: A mobile terminal that prevents a display screen from finely blurring according to expansion and contraction of a flexible display. When a variation in a sensor value detected by a rotation angle sensor is greater than a range based on a predetermined threshold value, the image processing unit performs control for changing a display size of display information to be displayed on a flexible display. Thus, it is possible to absorb shaking based on a rewinding force of a mainspring in a storage unit and to prevent blurring of the display information.

  • Publication number: 20190042014
    Abstract: A withdrawal amount calculation unit calculates a withdrawal amount of a display portion and transmits the withdrawal amount to a display control unit. In a case where a display width of the display portion based on the withdrawal amount exceeds a display threshold value, the display control unit causes the display portion to display second content together with first content. In this manner, in a case where the withdrawal amount is detected and the display width based on the withdrawal amount exceeds the threshold value, content (the second content) other than the first content is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display a plurality of contents only when it is better to output the plurality of contents to the user according to a withdrawal operation of the user.
