Publication number: 20240019888Abstract: A push-type input device according to one embodiment includes: an operation knob configured to receive a pushing operation by an operator; a click sensation-imparting mechanism configured to impart a click sensation to the pushing operation; a slider configured to slide in a predetermined sliding direction in response to the pushing operation; a rotating body configured to rotate in response to sliding of the slider; a sensor configured to detect a rotation angle of the rotating body; and a determination section configured to perform a switch-on determination based on a detection result of the rotation angle by the sensor. The determination section performs the switch-on determination between the rotation angle of the rotating body corresponding to the maximum load in load characteristics of the pushing operation and the rotation angle of the rotating body corresponding to the minimum load in load characteristics of the pushing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Asuka KOIKE, Shigeru FURUKI, Daisaku SUGAWARA, Masanori FUJITA, Masato FUMIWAKE, Hayate NATSUSAKA, Yu TAKEDA

Publication number: 20230043369Abstract: A measurement system includes a processor. Based on information measured by a camera that takes an image of a measurement target and an auxiliary object arranged on the measurement target, the processor acquires first point cloud data representing a three-dimensional geometry of the measurement target including the auxiliary object. Based on the first point cloud data and second point cloud data that is known and that represents a three-dimensional geometry of the measurement target, the processor eliminates point cloud data of the auxiliary object from the first point cloud data. The processor compares the first point cloud data, from which the point cloud data of the auxiliary object has been eliminated, with the second point cloud data. The processor displays information relating to a result of comparison on a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Yu TAKEDA, Hiroaki NAKAMURA

Patent number: 10941854Abstract: An operating device includes a shaft operated to tilt, a contact section on the shaft in a biased state movable and tiltable integrally with the shaft, a first holding section generating a feeling of moderation by sliding against and holding the contact section at tilted positions the shaft, and a second holding section contacting the contact section, guiding the contact section to a predetermined position from the tilted positions, and holding the contact section at the predetermined position. The first holding section is movable between first and second positions. The contact section contacts the first holding section and is separated from the second holding section when the first holding section is at the first position. The contact section is separated from the first holding section and contacts the second holding section when the first holding section is at the second position.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: ALPS ALPINE CO., LTD.Inventor: Yu Takeda

Patent number: 8354606Abstract: A push switch includes an operating member, a holding member, a detecting electrode including a plate-shaped spring, a conductive coil spring, and a wiring substrate. The operating member includes a top portion. The rear surface of the top portion and the holding member define a storage space. The detecting electrode, received in the storage space, includes a detecting portion in resilient contact with the top portion, a base in resilient contact with the coil spring, and a height adjusting portion coupling the detecting portion to the base. The amount of compression of the detecting electrode is defined depending on the height of the storage space. The detecting portion detects a change in capacitance caused when the operation surface is touched by a human body and a detection signal indicating the change is output to the wiring substrate through the height adjusting portion, the base, and the coil spring.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2010Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuya Yokoyama, Yu Takeda
