  • Patent number: 11494043
    Abstract: A coordinate input device includes a plurality of detection electrodes arranged in a grid shape, a coordinate calculation unit that calculates coordinates representing a proximity position of an object on a basis of changes in capacitances of the plurality of detection electrodes, and an output unit that outputs the coordinates calculated by the coordinate calculation unit. The coordinate calculation unit calculates the coordinates using each of a first calculation method and a second calculation method. In a case where two objects are detected using both the first calculation method and the second calculation method, the output unit outputs the coordinates calculated using the first calculation method in a case where a distance between the two objects is greater than a predetermined first threshold, and outputs the coordinates calculated using the second calculation method in a case where the distance between the two objects is less than a predetermined second threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220219358
    Abstract: The present invention is a manufacturing method for obtaining a molded article having foam layer inside for providing a foaming agent, a device, a mold, a molding machine, a means for increasing the foaming ratio and a means for increasing coating appropriateness used for manufacturing resin having foaming properties. When the resin having compatibility (miscibility) with the resin to be blended is used as a carrier resin used for manufacturing a masterbatch of the foaming agent, the molded article having an excellent outer appearance can be obtained. When the sodium bicarbonate which is an inorganic foaming agent is used for the foaming agent, a sodium carbonate, which is a foam residue remaining in the molded article after the foaming agent is decomposed to generate the foaming gas, reduces the adherability of the coating film. Thus, when the acid cleaning is preliminarily performed to remove the sodium carbonate, the coating appropriateness is satisfied.
