  • Publication number: 20210278907
    Abstract: When a gesture operation of a hand moving close to a display from left to right is performed, the return movement of the hand to the left side due to reflection by the wrist or the like may be detected. A detection control unit detects the approach of the hand to the display and notifies a data processing device of non-detection of hand approach when the amount of movement of the hand in the right direction starts to decrease after exceeding a threshold value. The data processing device accepts the right-moving gesture operation to perform a predetermined process when the amount of movement exceeds the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11089186
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus that is capable of efficiently dissipating heat generated in a sensor substrate or a control substrate. An image sensor is implemented on the sensor substrate. A first heat dissipation section has four faces approximately parallel to an optical axis of an image pickup optical system of a lens unit and is fixed to the lens unit so that the four faces will surround the optical system from four sides. The control substrate is thermally coupled with the first heat dissipation section. A second heat dissipation section is arranged at a side opposite to the optical system in an optical axis direction with respect to the sensor substrate and is fixed to the first heat dissipation section. A heat conduction member is arranged between the sensor substrate and the second heat dissipation section in the optical axis direction so as to contact the both.

  • Patent number: 11076072
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus improved in heat dissipation efficiency while avoiding increase in size. A rotary fan is rotated to draw air from a suction port and discharge air from a discharge port. A heat dissipation duct includes an intake opening, a discharge opening, intake-side fins, an intake-side duct portion, and an exhaust-side duct portion. Projected shadows of at least part of the intake-side fins and at least part of the rotary fan overlap each other, as viewed from a direction of a rotational axis of the rotary fan. Ends of the intake-side fins toward the intake opening and the exhaust opening are closer thereto than ends of the rotary fan toward the same, respectively. The intake opening and the suction port of the rotary fan communicate with each other via a space adjacent to the end of the intake-side fins toward the discharge opening.

  • Publication number: 20210199158
    Abstract: A sliding spline shaft device of the present invention includes a male spline and a female spline that is fitted to the male spline in an axially slidable manner, and at least one of the splines has a surface processed layer. The surface processed layer includes an undercoat layer, an intermediate layer containing phosphate, and a topcoat layer containing solid lubricant, in this order. The undercoat layer contains iron nitride and/or iron carbide. Thus, the surface of a base material has high hardness. As a result, microscopic deformation of the sliding surface is reduced, and increase in a real contact area is suppressed, whereby stick-slip is prevented.
