  • Publication number: 20240115146
    Abstract: A measuring device includes a first space for pressurizing a pressurization target and a second space independent of the first space. The measuring device includes a first exhaust valve closing or opening a communication port communicating the first space with another space. An open/closed state of the first exhaust valve changes in accordance with a pressure difference between the first space and the second space.

  • Publication number: 20240084793
    Abstract: A pump system contains a pair of pumps each of which contains a vibration actuator vibrated by electromagnetic drive and can discharge fluid due to drive of the vibration actuator. The pump system has a vibration suppression mode in which the pair of the pumps are driven so that vibration of the vibration actuators of the pair of pumps is cancelled each other and a vibration generation mode in which the pair of the pumps are driven so that the vibration of the vibration actuators of the pair of pumps is superimposed with each other.

  • Publication number: 20230400925
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tactile feedback device that detects a user operation based on touch without erroneous detection, providing stable tactile feedback. This device includes: an operated section that receives a user operation based on touch; a touch detection section for detecting touch on the operated section; a load detection section that detects a load on the operated section due to touch; a vibration actuator that generates vibration and outputs the vibration to the operated section; and a driving control section that drives, in response to the detection of touch and detection of load, the vibration actuator to vibrate the operated section, feeding back tactile sensation to a user, wherein the load detection section stops detection of a load during vibration.

  • Publication number: 20230147348
    Abstract: A pump control device controls a pump including a vibration actuator for vibrating a vibrating body due to electromagnetic drive caused by electrical current supply to coils, a sealed chamber which includes a movable wall which can be displaced by vibration of the vibrating body so that fluid can be suctioned into an inside of the sealed chamber or discharged from the inside of the sealed chamber, and a discharge portion for communicating the fluid between the sealed chamber and a tank to increase pressure of the fluid. The pump control device contains an obtaining part for obtaining pressure value information, and a control unit for controlling a drive frequency of an electrical current to be supplied to the coils based on the obtained pressure value information.
