An operation device is a stick-type operation device configured to perform a tilt operation, and includes a support plate, a sensor substrate having a first through-hole in a plate thickness direction and supported by a front surface of the support plate, a support columnar member formed of a light-transmitting material and provided to stand up from one surface of the sensor substrate at a position where the first through-hole is blocked, an operation member having light-transmitting property and attached to the support columnar member, and a light source configured to irradiate the support columnar member with light through the first through-hole.

Operation device, keyboard device, and electronic apparatus

A touch pad includes: a sensor board capable of recognizing a position of manual contact; a housing to which the sensor board is fixed; a base member supporting the housing in a state of being capable of ascending and descending the housing; and a switch depressed when the sensor board is depressed and the housing is moved toward the base member. The touch pad includes first and second pivot shaft sections provided between the base member and the housing and rotatably supporting the housing in a state of being displaceable in a direction toward the base member. The first and second pivot shaft sections are arranged at positions straddling the switch between the two in a direction from one edge of the sensor board to the other edge on the side opposite to the one edge.

Touch pad and electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis; a second chassis; a first display provided on an upper surface of the first chassis; a second display provided on an upper surface of the second chassis; and a hinge device that connects the first chassis and the second chassis. The hinge device includes: a first bracket including a first fixing plate fixed to the first chassis; a second bracket including a second fixing plate fixed to the second chassis; a first hinge block that supports a first upper hinge shaft and a first lower hinge shaft arranged vertically between adjacent end surfaces of the first chassis and the second chassis in a flat plate form; and a second hinge block.

Electronic apparatus and hinge device

A portable information device capable of reducing a gap between two displays is described. The portable information device includes a first chassis, a second chassis adjacent to the first chassis, a first display provided on a top surface of the first chassis, a second display provided on a top surface of the second chassis, a hinge device, and at least one link mechanism operating in conjunction with the rotational operation between the first chassis and the second chassis by the hinge device. At least one of the first chassis and the second chassis is provided to be relatively slidable with respect to the hinge device along an arranging direction of the first chassis and the second chassis. The link mechanism includes a first slider, a first shaft output portion, a second slider, a second shaft output portion, and a driving part.

Portable information device having chassis rotatably connected by a hinge

An electronic device having a pointing stick is disclosed. The electronic device includes a base member for supporting a pointing stick. The base member has a first pressed part provided on one side of the pointing stick with respect to a sliding direction of a slide member and a second pressed part provided on the other side of the pointing stick. The slide member has a first pressing part capable of pressing the first pressed part of the base member and a second pressing part capable of pressing the second pressed part.

Electronic device having a pointing stick

A vibration generation device is provided with a housing, a vibration target component provided to be movable relatively to the housing, an actuator which has a metal base portion, a metal movable portion, a beltlike shape memory alloy disposed between the base portion and the movable portion and in which, when the shape memory alloy receives current application to be changed so that the outer shape becomes small, the movable portion is pushed out in one direction of separating from the base portion in a state where the base portion abuts on a first wall surface of the housing, a resin holder component fixed to the vibration target component and abutting on a pushing surface facing the one direction of the movable portion, and an elastic member elastically energizing the movable portion in a direction opposite to the one direction.

Vibration generation device and electronic apparatus

The present invention provides a method of measuring an endogenous low-molecular-weight compound specifically and conveniently with high sensitivity. Using the particular sulfur-containing amino acid derivative, a method of measuring an endogenous low-molecular-weight compound specifically and conveniently with high sensitivity can be provided.

Sulfur-containing amino acid derivative

The present invention provides a method of analyzing albumin in a sample solution, which is characterized by pretreating a sample solution before subjecting the sample solution to mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography. The present invention further provides a method of accurately and stably analyzing the amount and ratio of oxidized and reduced albumin in a sample solution, and an albumin standard accurate and controlled quantitative analysis of albumin.
