  • Patent number: 9973175
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a control apparatus includes a shaper and a compensator. The shaper receives a first target value in position control of a controlled object and generates a second target value which changes substantially rampwise over a time equal to or shorter than a period corresponding to one of resonance frequencies of the controlled object until the second target value becomes equal the first target value. The compensator compensates for a control signal, used for controlling the controlled object, based on the second target value.

  • Patent number: 9837694
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a filter characteristic tuning apparatus includes a characteristic tuning member, an elastic member, a first movable member, a second movable member, and a driving mechanism. The elastic member comes in contact with a characteristic tuning member by deformation, and separates from the characteristic tuning member by a restoring force. The first movable member deforms the elastic member in a closing operation. The driving mechanism displaces a second movable member such that a projection opens/closes the first movable member. The characteristic tuning member changes a gap between the characteristic tuning member and the resonator by a linear driving force obtained by converting the transmitted rotary driving force.
