  • Publication number: 20240061461
    Abstract: A pedal device to be pedaled by a user includes: a pedal supported to be swingable about an axis and to swing toward one side in a circumferential direction about the axis when being pedaled by the user; a housing; a reaction force generation portion disposed in the housing and to apply a force to the pedal toward another side in the circumferential direction; and a stopper. The stopper is arranged outside the housing, to swing about the axis together with the pedal while being supported by the pedal, and to stop the pedal by coming into contact with the housing in a non-pedaled state in which the pedal is not pedaled by the user.

  • Patent number: 11674416
    Abstract: A friction shim is configured to generate a frictional force between a first shim contact surface of the friction shim and a shaft end surface of a driven shaft and a frictional force between a second shim contact surface of the friction shim and an opposing surface of a second rotatable body after installation of a valve timing regulator to the driven shaft. A contact member has a first member contact surface configured to contact the shaft end surface. The contact member is installed to the second rotatable body such that the first member contact surface contacts the shaft end surface before occurrence of contact of the first shim contact surface to the shaft end surface at a time of installing the valve timing regulator to the driven shaft.

  • Patent number: 11669217
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (10) includes a receiver (111) configured to receive operation information corresponding to details of a cursor operation of allowing a user (U) to move the cursor (CUR); a controller (112) configured to cause a display (20) to display the cursor (CUR), based on the operation information, and a calculator (114) configured to, when the operation information includes an instruction to move the cursor positioned in one item image out of the item images (GI-1 to GI-9) toward another item image adjacent to the one item image, calculate an arrangement density of item images arranged in a direction of movement of the cursor from the one item image. The controller (112) reduces an amount of the cursor operation required for the user to move the cursor (CUR) from the one item image to the other item image to be within a range not below a predetermined lower limit value as the arrangement density calculated by the calculator (114) increases.

  • Patent number: 11531444
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (10) is an information processing apparatus that displays item images (GI-1 to GI-6) that are arranged apart from each other and a cursor (CUR) on a display (20), the information processing apparatus includes a receiver (111) configured to receive operation information corresponding to details of a cursor operation in which a user (U) moves the cursor (CUR); a controller (112) configured to cause the display (20) to display the cursor (CUR), based on the operation information; and a determiner (113) configured to, when the operation information includes an instruction to move the cursor (CUR) from an inside of one item image from among the item images (GI-1 to GI-6) to an outside of the one item image, determine whether there is another item image within a predetermined distance from the one item image, the another item image being in a direction of movement of the cursor (CUR).

  • Patent number: 11365654
    Abstract: A bushing member includes: a large diameter portion which is inserted on a radially inner side of a coiled segment of an assist spring and includes a straight portion which extends in an axial direction; and a small diameter portion which is located on a radially inner side of a housing and has an outer diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the large diameter portion. The coiled segment includes a contact portion that contacts the straight portion at a radially inner surface of the contact portion. In an axial direction, a location of an end of the straight portion, which is located on one axial side where a driven shaft is placed, coincides with a location of an end of the contact portion located on the one axial side, or is on the one axial side of the location of the end of the contact portion.
