  • Patent number: 9920831
    Abstract: A pattern of a rotational operation force is changed by a state of a device of an input object. An input device includes a knob, a rotation shaft body that rotates together with the knob, a rotation controller that is capable of changing a rotational operation force, a detector that detects a rotational position, a controller, and a storage that stores a plurality of patterns. The controller reads a pattern from the storage according to a pattern signal input from an outside and controls the rotation controller when the knob is operated to be rotated according to a rotational position detected by the detector and the read pattern.

  • Publication number: 20180038478
    Abstract: The rotating operation input device has the structure in which the click section applies a clicking force to the shaft at a predetermined rotation angle, and the first controller controls the actuator, based on the control signal received from the second controller, so as to apply a desired external force to the shaft. A shifting operation device is structured by connecting the rotating operation input device to the second controller for controlling the shifting device.

  • Patent number: 8110009
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for dry cleaning garments. The present invention provides a petroleum based processed detergent for dry cleaning and methods of use. The present invention provides methods of using the petroleum based processed detergent for dry cleaning wherein use of the detergent decreases the proliferation of bacteria and microbes in the detergent, and reduces the opposite pollution ratio of the detergent following a dry cleaning cycle. Additionally, the petroleum based processed detergent maintains a stable conductivity during use.

  • Patent number: 4994292
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for producing vinegar of favorable flavor exhibiting inherent flavor, taste and color derived from starting material, comprising the steps of bringing vinegar derived from fruits, etc. into contact with a non-ionic porous synthetic adsorbent, selectively adsorbing to remove iso-valeric acid contained in vinegar and reducing the concentration of iso-valeric acid to below 10 ppm, thereby effectively removing uncomfortable smelly ingredient, while leaving soluble nitrogen ingredient as the tasting or ingredient, organic acids providing mild sourness and color ingredients.
