  • Patent number: 12166435
    Abstract: A transport system includes a mover, a stator, and a control unit. The mover moves in a first direction. The stator includes a plurality of coils arranged in the first direction and applies force to transport the mover in the first direction while using the plurality of coils, to which current is applied, to levitate the mover in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The control unit controls the current applied to the plurality of coils to control operation of the mover. The control unit controls the current applied to the plurality of coils using machine difference information of the mover to control an attitude of the mover while the mover is being levitated.

  • Publication number: 20240286469
    Abstract: A USB jack is provided below a bulging part of a door trim. Therefore, the bulging part can prevent rainwater from entering the USB jack. As a result, the USB jack can be provided on the door trim. In addition, since a connection hole is provided in the bulging part, a USB cable can be arranged to extend from an internal space of a storage part to a lower space of the bulging part through the connection hole. As a result, although the USB jack is provided below the bulging part, the USB jack and a smartphone stored in the storage part can be connected by the USB cable.
