  • Publication number: 20220137717
    Abstract: The present invention address the problem of providing a push-button switch which is capable of clearly displaying an image output from a display and which allows a person performing a depressing operation to have a distinct operational feel. Among the elements constituting the push-button switch, a button is a transparent or substantially transparent button which is disposed over a display and which receives a depressing operation. Lenses are disposed between the button and the display, and cause an image output from the display to be projected with a focal point at a diffusing plate in a top surface of the button in a standby position before a depressing operation is performed. A holding member incorporates the lenses in such a way that the position and orientation of each of the lenses are fixed with respect to the display. Thus, the problem is solved.

  • Publication number: 20220112718
    Abstract: An anchorage includes a bearing plate arranged in an end portion of a concrete structure with an insertion hole formed therein and formed with a through hole connecting to the insertion hole. A sleeve is inserted through the insertion hole and the through hole, with one end portion of the sleeve disposed on the outside of the structure. A tendon is inserted within the sleeve, with one end portion of the tendon disposed on the outside of the structure. A locknut is engaged with the one end portion of the sleeve and in contact with the outer surface of the bearing plate. A PC grout fills the insertion hole and the sleeve. Before filling, the tendon is applied with tension and, after strength expression of the PC grout, the tension is released. The tendon undergoes a Poisson effect to expand radially outward and compression stress occurs in the PC grout.
