The case extends in a planar direction and has side surfaces that are orthogonal to the planar direction. The motor and the cylinder are arranged adjacent to each other in the planar direction of the case. The control circuit board is disposed adjacent to and substantially parallel to one of the side surfaces of the case.

An air compressor according to an embodiment, which includes a cylinder and a rotating body provided to be rotatable around a rotation axis in the cylinder so as to generate compressed air through intake and exhaustion caused by rotation of the rotating body, includes an intake valve. The intake valve takes air in the intake and exhaustion. The intake valve is provided in the cylinder.

An optical unit includes an optical sensor, a nozzle and a fixing part. The nozzle is positioned and configured to eject fluid onto an optical surface of the optical sensor. The fixing part is slidably engaged over the optical sensor and the nozzle from a side of the optical sensor having the optical surface and integrally fixes the optical sensor and the nozzle to each other.

Optical unit

A rotation device according to an embodiment includes a first gear, a second gear, and an energizing part. The first gear includes a toothless part and is connected with a rotation driving source. The toothless part is obtained by cutting a part of continuous teeth of the first gear. The second gear is arranged to be able to be engaged with the first gear and is rotated, when engaged with the first gear, in a predetermined direction by a rotation of the rotation driving source in one direction. The energizing part energizes the second gear in a direction reverse to the predetermined direction when the second gear is in a free state in which an engagement of the second gear with the first gear is released by the toothless part.

Rotation device and extraneous-matter removing apparatus

There is provided an input device. A panel has an input operation surface. A detecting unit detects a user's touch operation on the input operation surface. A vibrating element can vibrate the panel, thereby capable of changing the frictional force of the input operation surface. A panel supporting unit supports the panel such that the panel can move in a direction parallel with or perpendicular to the input operation surface.

Audio device and menu display method of audio device

A drive recorder according to an embodiment includes a capture unit and an access controller. The capture unit captures an outside of a vehicle. The access controller sets access limitation, which limits an access from a person other than an occupant of the vehicle, for traveling images of the vehicle. The traveling images are captured by the capture unit and stored in a storage medium. When an event arising from the vehicle meets a predetermined condition that indicates at least level of urgency, the access controller removes the access limitation.

Drive recorder, recording method of drive recorder, and computer-readable medium

A vehicle-mounted electronic apparatus includes: a camera that captures images of an outside of the vehicle; a storage chamber in which the camera is stored; a lid that opens and closes an aperture extending between an inside of the storage chamber and an outside of the storage chamber. Moreover, the vehicle-mounted electronic apparatus further includes an opening switch that is actuated in response to pressure applied to the lid and that sends a signal for opening a door of a luggage compartment of the vehicle when the opening switch is actuated. Thus, the opening switch and the camera can be disposed in a same position of the vehicle.

Vehicle-mounted electronic apparatus

When a head-up display apparatus is used, a combiner stored in a storage position in a housing is moved to a use position in front of the housing. Thus, a storage space in the housing becomes unoccupied. A projector is moved to a projection position in the storage space that becomes unoccupied and unused.

Head-up display apparatus

On an on-vehicle apparatus that is installed on a vehicle, a display that has a long side and a short side and displays an image is rotated so that a vertical position of an upper side of the display in a first position where the long side becomes the upper side substantially coincides with the vertical position of the upper side of the display in a second position where the short side becomes the upper side. This allows the display to be set at an easily visible position for a user with less eye movement.

On-vehicle apparatus

An on-vehicle display apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire a first display image to be displayed on a display of a navigation apparatus, extract a portion of the first display image based on a layout information relevant to a layout of the first display image, and generate a second display image by use of the extracted part of the image, and displays on a head-up display the second display image generated by the controller. The display apparatus displays on the head-up display a guide image generated by the controller. It is possible to display an image of the navigation apparatus on the head-up display, without a connection between the navigation apparatus and the display apparatus.

On-vehicle display apparatus

A dividing device in a disc accommodation section of a disc changer decreases the stroke of dividing the disc accommodation section, thereby making the disc changer small. The dividing device is configured by having three levers fitted to a rotation axis. A first lever can rotate by 45 degrees and 90 degrees only by a rotation mechanism. The first lever capable of holding a movable rack is fitted to this rotation axis. A second lever and a third lever are fitted to the rotation axis adjacently to the first lever, and slidably on the rotation axis. The second lever holds a movable rack that accommodates a disc of which content is to be reproduced. The third lever holds other movable racks. Based on this mechanism, the disc accommodation section is divided into three parts at the time of reproducing the content of a disc.

Dividing device in disc accommodation section in disc changer

A disc changer has a disc pushing device that can be accommodated within a limited space and can securely push out a disc from a disc accommodation section in a simple structure. The disc pushing device includes: a rotation axis fitted to a casing of the disc changer; a first lever section having a first lever with a small turning radius provided in projection on a cylindrical body having the rotation axis; and a second lever section having a base connected to a cylindrical body using the rotation axis, with a part of the base slidably superimposed on the upper part of the first lever section, and a turning radius of the front end larger than a turning radius of the first lever. A driving mechanism first turns the first lever section, and thereafter turns the second lever section, thereby pushing out a disc from the disc accommodation section.

Disc changer having disc pushing device

The invention aims to reduce the size of a disk clamp mechanism to be built into a disk player. The clamp mechanism comprises: a disk clamp portion formed integrally with a turntable; a clamper; and a clamper holder for holding the clamper via a clamper mounting shaft adapted to hold the clamper in rotatable fashion, wherein a flange portion provided at an end of the clamper mounting shaft is placed within a space formed inside the clamper. The clamper comprises a peripheral portion and a chamber portion in which the space is formed, and the disk clamp portion has a recessed groove portion engageable with the chamber portion, the structure being such that, when the disk is clamped, the end portion of the chamber portion is accommodated into the disk clamp portion, thus achieving a size reduction by reducing the height in a direction perpendicular to the disk.

Clamp mechanism for disk-shaped recording medium and reproducing apparatus for the recording medium

A disc changer has a protector which protects the operation of the disc changer even when an oscillation is applied to the disc changer, without adding a new oscillation sensor to the disc changer. In the disc changer that takes out a desired disc from a stocker with a swing arm and returns the reproduced disc to the stocker, an oscillation sensor monitors an output of a position sensor which detects a position of a member that rises and falls within the disc changer. Based on a variation in the output of the position sensor, the oscillation sensor detects a size of the oscillation applied to the disc changer. When the oscillation is larger than a predetermined value, the swing arm operation of clamping a disc and returning a disc to the stocker is temporarily stopped or is restarted, thereby protecting the disc changer from the oscillation.
