The controller determines a voice activity period in which voice recognition is performed on the voice data stored in the storage unit based on a user's operation on the operation unit. Then, upon detecting a predetermined operation on the operation unit made by the user, the controller adjusts the determined voice activity period.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Tomokazu Ishikawa

Patent number: 10845851Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a base, an object detecting section, and a chassis that houses the base and the object detecting section. The object detecting section includes a substrate and a detecting element that is provided on a first principal surface of the substrate and is configured to detect a wave coming from an object and output a detection signal. The object detecting section is mounted on the base with the first principal surface facing the base. The base has a long passage hole that allows the wave to pass therethrough toward the detecting element. A longer direction of the passage hole is along a first direction that is a substantially horizontal direction when the chassis adopts a reference posture.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiro Kosugi, Takehito Yamauchi, Masahiro Tokuno, Takuo Yamagishi

Patent number: 10830614Abstract: A magnetic sensor generates a detection signal that varies according to the strength of a target magnetic field at a detection position in a reference plane. The magnetic sensor includes a magnetoresistive element. The magnetoresistive element includes a magnetization pinned layer having a magnetization in a first direction, and a free layer having a magnetization whose direction is variable according to the direction of an acting magnetic field, the acting magnetic field being a composite magnetic field of all magnetic fields acting on the free layer. The free layer has uniaxial magnetic anisotropy such that an easy axis of magnetization is oriented in a direction parallel to a second direction. In the reference plane, both of two directions orthogonal to the second direction are different from the direction of the target magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Kenzo Makino, Tsuyoshi Umehara
