  • Patent number: 12247429
    Abstract: A control system includes a contact sensor configured to detect entry of an operation body into a recess formed between a door handle of a door handle apparatus and a body of the door handle apparatus by detecting contact between the operation body and an back face of the door handle, a force sensor configured to detect a force applied by the operation body to the door handle, and a controller configured to control operation of a door when the contact is detected by the contact sensor and the force is detected by the force sensor.

  • Patent number: 12215528
    Abstract: In a door handle sensor system, a door handle device includes an electrostatic sensor to detect the user with respect to a door handle, and a pressure sensor to detect the operating force applied to the door handle. A control device determines whether the position of an operation is in a first end section, a second end section, or a center section of the door handle, and controls an unlatched state based on the determination result and the value detected by the pressure sensor. The electrostatic sensor includes a first electrode including multiple first electrode parts and a second electrode including multiple second electrode parts arranged alternately with the first electrode parts. The first electrode part other than the endmost first electrode part in the first direction and the second electrode part other than the endmost second electrode part in the first direction are arranged in the center section.

  • Patent number: 6755673
    Abstract: A lever fitting type power supply circuit breaking apparatus includes: a first connector provided with a terminal; a second connector provided with a terminal; a lever movably provided on the first connector. In a connector temporary-fitting position, the first connector is fitted to the second connector and the terminal of the first connector is separated from the terminal of the second connector by 0.5 mm or more. In a connector fitting position, the first connector is fitted to the second connector and the terminal of the first connector is electrically connected to the terminal of the second connector. The first and second connector are shifted from the connector temporary-fitting position to the connector fitting position as the lever is shift from a movement start position to a fitting completion position.
