  • Publication number: 20230353873
    Abstract: An information processing system configured to perform predetermined processing based on out-of-focus information corresponding to a first area of an image, the out-of-focus information corresponding to a difference in focus between the first area of the image and a second area of the image that is different from the first area of the image.

  • Patent number: 11536413
    Abstract: A connector that is in a fuel supply system capable of supplying a high-pressure fuel, and may reduce pulsation in a low-pressure pipe with a simple structure and extend the life of a mold is provided. A valve of the connector includes a valve seat contact surface and a tapering through hole. The valve seat contact surface axially separates from an annular valve seat and forms a forward-direction flow path due to pressure of the low-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel does not flow in reverse, and may come into contact with the annular valve seat when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse. The tapering through hole is formed farther radially inward than the valve seat contact surface, forms an orifice flow path having a smaller cross-sectional area than the forward-direction flow path, and allows a reverse flow of the high-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse.

  • Patent number: 10730545
    Abstract: A rack housing and a reduction drive housing accommodate a ball screw mechanism and a reduction drive. Within the rack housing and the reduction drive housing, a gap is provided between the left end of a nut and the rack housing, and a gap is provided between the right end of the nut and the rack housing. A groove serving as a communication path in communication with the gaps on both axial sides of the nut is provided in the outer circumferential surface of the nut. The groove is provided so as to avoid a recirculation path provided in the nut. The groove is provided axially and rectilinearly from the end of the nut that is located on the side opposite to a flange, to the flange and is provided along the flange.

  • Patent number: 9440673
    Abstract: A steering device includes a ball screw mechanism 8 that applies a force in the axial direction to a rack shaft of a vehicle, and a bearing that rotatably supports a nut with respect to a housing. The steering device also includes a plate disposed with a gap between the bearing and the plate in a rack shaft axial direction, and a coned disc spring disposed between the bearing and the plate. The plate abuts against the housing in the rack shaft axial direction. The coned disc spring elastically supports the nut in the rack shaft axial direction via the bearing. One side surface of the plate that faces the coned disc spring is formed in a tapered shape so as to cross a rack shaft radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8218058
    Abstract: A drive control unit of the present invention includes: a first external force detecting section for detecting that an external force is applied to a first moving object body movable back and forth in a single direction; and a second initialization processing section which when it is detected that the external force is applied to the first moving object body by the first external force detecting section, moves at least one of second moving object bodies movable back and forth in the single direction to a predetermined second initial position and when it is not detected that the external force is applied to the first moving object body, does not move the second moving object body.
