A buried object scanning device includes a capacitance sensor, a search image conversion processing unit, a memory unit, a display unit, an operation input unit, and a display control unit. The capacitance sensor detects a buried object. The search image conversion processing unit converts the detection result of the capacitance sensor into a search image. The memory unit stores search images and a grid layer including grid lines corresponding to a specific scale. The display unit displays the search images and the grid layer. The display control unit controls the display unit to display the search image superimposed with the grid layer and to display the search image in a state of being movable relative to the grid layer, in response to input to the operation input unit.

A switch according to one or more embodiments may include a movable unit movable in response to an operation. A drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the movable unit. The switch may include an operation-linked unit movable in response to the movement of the movable unit and an operation follower unit spaced from the operation-linked unit to move in response to movement of the operation-linked unit with a magnetic force between the operation follower unit and the operation-linked unit. At least one of the operation-linked unit or the operation follower unit is magnetic. The drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the operation follower unit. The operation follower unit accommodated in a chamber is spaced from the operation-linked unit.

Switch

A trigger switch according to one or more embodiments may include a first conductive plate (movable electrode) movable in response to movement of a trigger receiving a depressing operation, and a second fixed electrode (fixed electrode) located adjacent to a movable range of the first conductive plate with a space in between. The second fixed electrode forms a capacitor together with the first conductive plate. The capacitor formed by the first conductive plate and the second fixed electrode has a capacitance that changes as the first conductive plate moves.

Trigger switch

The present invention provides a handlebar lock system which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) includes a handlebar locking device which makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar lock system includes: a handlebar locking device (); and a user interface () which notifies a user of an operation state of the handlebar locking device (), which operation state includes at least a lock state of the handlebar (). The handlebar locking device () is provided in a frame of a bicycle so as to be not viewable from outside of the bicycle. The control section () identifies the operation state, and then outputs, via a communication section (), information indicative of the operation state thus identified. A control section () of the user interface () receives, from the handlebar locking device (), the information indicative of the operation state. According to the information thus received, the control section () notifies the user of operation information on the handlebar locking device ().
