  • Publication number: 20180037115
    Abstract: The display device displays information by the display member. In the display state, an opening formed on one surface of the housing is opened, and the display member is positioned outside the opening. On the other hand, in the non-display state, the display member is received in the housing, and the opening is closed by the plurality of covers. The plurality of covers are movable to vary an opened area of the opening, and each of the covers is smaller in area than the opening. The drive device switches between the display state and the non-display state by moving the plurality of covers. One cover of the plurality of covers is moved by the drive device, and another cover of the plurality of covers is moved by the one cover.

  • Patent number: 8756964
    Abstract: A centralized unlocking operation device is provided in which a first operating arm pivots in response to a rotor being pivoted from a neutral position in a forward direction, and a second operating arm pivots in response to the rotor being pivoted from the neutral position in a reverse direction, wherein a first pressing face (38) that abuts against and imposes a pressing force on a first pressure-receiving part (35) of the first operating arm (33) when the rotor (15) is pivoted from the neutral position to the first operating position side and a second pressing face (39) that abuts against and imposes a pressing force on a second pressure-receiving part (36) of the second operating arm (34) when the rotor (15) is pivoted from the neutral position to the second operating position side are formed on a cam part (37) provided on the rotor (15), and the spring (32) is provided between the first and second operating arms (33, 34) so as to urge the first and second operating arms (33, 34) in a direction in which t

  • Patent number: 7623172
    Abstract: A solid state imaging device having an X-Y addressable solid state imaging device with color filters and a driving unit which reads out pixel information of a same color filter in a unit pixel block as pixel information for one pixel simulatively. A predetermined color coding for the pixels has two rows and two columns. When k is a positive integer equal to or larger than 0, with (2k+3)×(2k+3) pixel blocks as unit pixel blocks, the driving unit reads out pieces of pixel information of the same color filter in each of the unit pixel blocks, the driving unit reads out pieces of pixel information of a same color filter in each of the unit pixel blocks simulatively as pixel information for one pixel in a state in which the unit pixel blocks are laid without overlapping one another, and the driving unit averages the added pieces of pixel information and outputs the averaged pieces of pixel information.

  • Publication number: 20060203113
    Abstract: When pixels are simply skipped while keeping both an order of pixel information and a spatial positional relation the same as those in all-pixel readout, since a distance between pixels to be read out increases, the Nyquist frequency decreases and aliasing noise increases. A 5×5 pixel block is set as a unit pixel block and pieces of pixel information in first, third, and fifth columns of first, third, and fifth rows of a pixel arrangement are added and outputted as an output in an ath row and an ath column of the unit pixel block. Then, pieces of pixel information in sixth, eighth, and tenth columns of the first, the third, and the fifth rows of the pixel arrangement are added and outputted as an output in the ath row and a bth column of the unit pixel block. Subsequently, pieces of pixel information are added and outputted up to a last column or a column near the last column.
