A vibration actuator according to the present invention comprises a plate that is a magnetic body, an electromagnet that is provided on the plate and is formed by providing a coil to a center part of a core, and an elastic body that supports the core on both sides of the coil and is connected to the plate. Magnetic force generated by energization of the coil causes one of the coil or the plate to be displaced toward the other and vibrate.

Vibration actuator with elastic body with rectangualr frame body surrounding the plate and contact-type input device

The first case made of metal and the second case made of resin seal the circuit substratehermetically by the adhesive seal material, an engaging elastic member having a hook part is stand up at an inclination angle &#x3b8; of less than 90 degrees at the front of a plurality of pressing elastic members provided on the outer periphery of the second case, when the first case is mounted by the assembling jig, the engaging elastic member moves backward, when the first case is pushed further, the pressing elastic member is bent upward by the jig base, the hook part is engaged, when the jig is removed, the first case and the second case are pressed against each other by the restoring force of the pressing elastic member, when the adhesive seal material is dried and cured, the adhesion force thereof secures close contact integrity between the cases.

Waterproof type substrate housing case

A rotary electric machine includes: a stator around which a coil is wound; a frame which fixes the stator; a rotor which faces the stator via a slight air gap; a shaft which is fixed to the rotor and is rotatably and removably supported via a bearing; and a bracket which supports the bearing inside a bearing box. The rotary electric machine includes: an insulating member which is mounted inside the bearing box of the bracket; a metal holder which is mounted inside the insulating member with a predetermined clearance with respect to an outer ring of the bearing, and supports the bearing; and a pressing body which is mounted between the side surface of the metal holder and the side surface of the outer ring of the bearing.

Rotary electric machine

In the rotary electric machine, a cylinderof a ring componentis formed in such a way that a fitting outer surfaceof the cylinderof the ring componentis fitted to a fitting inner surfaceof a first housing; a clearance value between the fitting outer surface of the cylinder and a fitting inner surface of the first housing is lower than a clearance value between an outer surface, in which the fitting outer surface is excepted, of the cylinder and an inner surface, in which the fitting inner surface is excepted, of the first housing; and a position in a diameter direction of a stator corefacing to the first housing is set by above-described fitting process.

In a rotary electric machine, a cylindrical stator core holding frame is cantilevered on a housing. A cylindrical stator core is fitted together and held inside the stator core holding frame. The stator core holding frame includes: a flange portion that is fixed to the housing; and a frame cylindrical portion that is coupled to the flange portion, and that holds the stator core. A thickness of the flange portion is greater than a thickness of the frame cylindrical portion.

A new-type user interface for providing a hotkey is disclosed, which has high operability and which can also be used to provide the hotkey in a conventional manner. In information processing apparatus has a hierarchical structure including a keyboard as one of hardware parts in a bottom layer, a built-in controller as one of hardware parts in a layer higher than the keyboard, and an operating system and an application program as software part in a layer higher than the built-in controller, wherein the operating system and the application program are connected to the built-in controller via a bus. In this information processing apparatus, in response to an input operation on a hotkey using an Fn key, information indicating that the key has been pressed or released is supplied to a utility, which is a higher-level system, via an SPIC which is logically different from the keyboard controller.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A power control unit that can perform preventing a secondary battery from generating heat and preventing power supply from being suddenly shut off. Supply of power from a secondary battery to a system unit is controlled by a power control unit. At this time, the power control unit successively monitors a cell temperature of the secondary battery, and requests the system unit to switch to a power saving mode when the cell temperature exceeds a predetermined alarming temperature which is preset.

Power controller, power control method, information processor, and power control program

Executing a desired processing immediately by a simple operation using a jog dial for example. The display unit () has a jog dial () (a first operating means) and a back button () (second operating means) provided vertically at the right upper corner thereof. The jog dial () can be rotated and pushed. The back button () is to undo an operation having been made by pushing the jog dial (), and it is located near the jog dial ().

Information processing apparatus and method, and information processing program

Performing power saving control which can be inherited and standardized easily, and which keeps power devices from having to become larger is made possible. A current In flowing through an electrical path is detected as a voltage Vs by a current detection section, and is outputted as a voltage Vout by an amplifying section. When a level corresponding to the voltage Vout exceeds a limit level, a power limit detection section outputs a power limit detection signal. When a controller receives the power limit detection signal via a detection signal holding section, the controller outputs a throttle control command signal. When a chip set receives the throttle control command signal, the chip set initiates throttle control that lowers the clock frequency of a CPU. The present invention may be applied to laptop personal computers.

Information processing apparatus and method, as well as program

An information processing method and apparatus free from a defect in a conventional system that complicated processing operations need to be executed before a user selects a desired application program on a task bar equipped with a start menu button and starts the selected program. A jog dial related application declares to a jog dial state monitor program C that it (application) itself is a jog dial related application. The jog dial state monitor program C then adds the application software to a list of the jog dial related applications. The display of the jog dial menu is then set to a display proper to the application and apprised to the user in the form of a jog dial guide. The jog dial related application advises the illustration of the jog dial operation in the current state to the jog dial state monitor program C in the form of a letter string.
