  • Publication number: 20230382490
    Abstract: A control device is provided for controlling a transmission device of a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller configured to control the transmission device. The electronic controller is configured to restrict actuation of the transmission device for a predetermined period from a first time after an action of the transmission device is completed. The electronic controller is configured to change the predetermined period in accordance with a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11724775
    Abstract: A control device comprises a controller configured to control an actuator to move an output member in a first actuating manner in a first state where an electric power source configured to supply electricity to the actuator is in a first power-source state and where a movement of the output member does not reach a target movement after the controller controls the actuator based on control information. The controller is configured to control the actuator to move the output member in a second actuating manner different from the first actuating manner in a second state where the electric power source is in a second power-source state different from the first power-source state and where the movement of the output member does not reach the target movement after the controller controls the actuator based on the control information.

  • Patent number: 11440617
    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes first and second rotary bodies, a transferring member that transfers drive force between the first and second rotary bodies, and a component. At least one of the first and second rotary bodies includes a plurality of rotary bodies. The component includes a transmission that performs a shifting action to move the transferring member between the plurality of rotary bodies. The control device includes an electronic controller controls the shifting action in accordance with a control condition set based on a travel state of the human-powered vehicle and/or a state of a rider. The electronic controller includes a first state that determines whether the control condition is satisfied and a second state that does not determine whether the control condition is satisfied. The electronic controller switches between the first and second states in accordance with a rotational state of the plurality of rotary bodies.

  • Patent number: 10171722
    Abstract: A lens unit and a rear-side focus adjustment system for infrared cameras capable of performing rear-side focus adjustments even when the position of the detection surface of an infrared sensor is unknown in an infrared camera. The lens unit is detachably mounted on a camera body that detects infrared light with an infrared sensor and converts the infrared light to an image signal, the lens unit including a focus adjustment lens and controller. The controller calculates a rear-side focus adjustment amount for causing a rear-side focus position to correspond to the detection surface based on an error between an actually measured focused position of the focus adjustment lens relative to an object at a particular object distance and a theoretically focused position of the focus adjustment lens calculated based on the object distance and controls the position of the focus adjustment lens based on the rear-side focus adjustment amount.
