  • Patent number: 11972053
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a tactile presentation control apparatus that can provide an operation feeling of a dial knob that allows intuitive operation by a tactile sense of the user, and is user-friendly. A tactile presentation control apparatus according to the present disclosure that has a tactile presentation knob placed on an operation surface and presents a tactile sense to the user via the tactile presentation knob. The tactile presentation control apparatus includes a tactile control unit that performs control to present different tactile senses to each of a plurality of operation regions on the operation surface when the tactile presentation knob is rotationally operated. When the tactile presentation knob is present in one of the operation regions, the tactile control unit performs control to present, as the tactile sense, a frictional force generated in the tactile presentation knob to the operation region.

  • Patent number: 10784031
    Abstract: A filter component assembly kit includes a bobbin that is configured with first and second members and a core that is in a quadrangular frame shape. When the first member is assembled with the second member, a through hole is formed in the bobbin. The through hole extends in a first direction. The core is configured with first and second extension bars. The first and second extension bars extend in parallel in the first direction. When the first extension bar is disposed in the through hole of the bobbin, rotation of the core around the first extension bar is prevented. First allowance of the first extension bar in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, in the through hole is larger than second allowance of the first extension bar in a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first and second directions, in the through hole.

  • Patent number: 10191241
    Abstract: The present invention provides an imaging device in which focus movement due to a temperature variation is suppressed and the infiltration of foreign matter such as liquid or dust is prevented. An imaging device 10 is provided with an imaging lens 11, an imaging element 12, and an intermediate member 15. The imaging lens 11 is held by a lens-barrel 13 and forms an image of a photographic subject. The imaging element 12 captures the image of the photographic subject which is formed by the imaging lens 11. The intermediate member 15 has, on the inner-peripheral-surface of one end thereof, a flange portion 15a which comes into contact with the lens-barrel 13, and holds the lens-barrel 13 by joining the front surface 26 of a flange portion 13b of the lens-barrel 13 and the surface 27 on the imaging element 12 side of the flange portion 15a to each other.

  • Patent number: 10175780
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of providing a user interface are presented. In one example, a graphical object is displayed on an opaque display component on a user-facing side of a computing device. Using a sensing component of the computing device, movement of a physical pointer controlled by a user is sensed. The physical pointer may be located opposite the user-facing side of the computer device. On the opaque display component, a representation of the physical pointer is displayed during the movement of the physical pointer. The graphical object, as displayed on the opaque display component, is modified based on the sensed movement of the physical pointer during the movement of the physical pointer.
