Publication number: 20240084793Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Yuta YOSHII, Chikara SEKIGUCHI, Shigenori INAMOTO, Yuki TAKAHASHI, Daisuke KODAMA, Kenta UEDA, Takahiko IRIE, Daisuke KURITA

Publication number: 20230400925Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc.Inventors: Yuki TAKAHASHI, Yasutaka KITAMURA, Takahiko IRIE, Tomoya ISHITANI
