  • Publication number: 20060037522
    Abstract: Steering-force detection sections, including a pressure-receiving section and a received-pressure detection section, are spaced from one another in the vicinity of a steering shaft. The steering shaft can include a pressing member for applying pressure to the pressure-receiving section when steering handlebars are rotated in either direction to the maximum steering angle. The pressure-receiving section and the received-pressure detection section are coaxially mounted in a pressure-receiving section casing and a detection section casing, respectively, through a guide tube, so that the pressure-receiving directions of both the pressure-receiving sections are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the direction in which the steering-force detection sections are spaced. The detection section casing includes mounting openings for mounting the received-pressure detecting sections and an electric circuit board, which is integrally connected to the received-pressure detecting sections.

  • Publication number: 20050253798
    Abstract: To provide a display device capable of displaying a moving picture with high definition and at high speed. An image display system includes: an image display unit; and a control unit. The control unit has: a block discrimination circuit portion; an image processing portion; a storage portion; and a synchronizing signal generation portion. The block discrimination circuit portion discriminates a moving picture or a still picture to process the image information in accordance with the discriminated result, in which the number of gradations for the image information processed when the discriminated result is the moving picture is lower than when the discriminated result is the still picture. Thereby, the high definition image display and the high speed moving picture display can be effected by reducing the information with lower degree of recognition.
