Patent number: 9787234Abstract: A drive controller of an instrument controls a stepping motor to rotate a pointer of the instrument attached to a rotation shaft of the stepping motor, the pointer rotatable between a zero scale position and a maximum scale position. The drive controller controls the stepping motor to perform a sweeping operation in which the pointer is swung from the zero scale position to the maximum scale position and returned back to the zero scale position, wherein the drive controller controls the stepping motor, during the sweeping operation, to accelerate to a predetermined speed by outputting a rated torque signal to the stepping motor and controls the stepping motor to rotate at the predetermined speed by outputting a decreased torque signal to the stepping motor, the decreased torque signal being lower than the rated torque signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Minebea Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sakae Fujitani, Nobuyuki Sueyoshi

Publication number: 20060109565Abstract: A front lens group 1 and a rear lens group 2 having a diameter of about 5 mm held inside a cylindrical body 5 are capable of movement in the forward and backward directions via a front group movable body 3 and a rear group movable body 4, respectively. An image taking element such as a CCD is arranged at a prescribed position behind the cylindrical body. By setting the distance from each lens group to the CCD and the distance between both lens groups, an image is formed at a prescribed zoom on the CCD. From the 1× base state when the zoom magnification is made ?×??×??×, the positional relationship between the front lens group and the rear lens group becomes as shown in FIG. 1(b)˜(d). The two kinds of zoom magnification 1× and ?× can be switched by fixing the front lens group and moving only the rear lens group back and forth between positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2003Publication date: May 25, 2006Applicant: FDK CorporationInventors: Kazuyuki Watanabe, Haruhiro Komura, Shinya Yamauchi, Tetsutaka Yamamoto, Nobuyuki Sueyoshi, Masatoshi Kazimoto
