Abstract

A finger-mounted device is configured to be worn on a finger. A computer-readable program is stored in a storage medium. The finger-mounted device has a first optical sensor, a second optical sensor, and a control unit. Each of a first optical sensor and a second optical sensor includes a light-emitting unit that emits light toward the inside of the finger on which the finger-mounted device is worn, and a light-receiving unit that receives the light irregularly reflected inside the finger. The distance from the light-emitting unit to the light-receiving unit of the first optical sensor is shorter than the distance from the light-emitting unit to the light-receiving unit of the second optical sensor. The control unit operates the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor to collect light reception level measurement values. The storage medium stores a program with which, if it is detected that the pressing force at which the inner circumferential surface of the finger-mounted device is pressing the surface of the finger is lower than an appropriate range, a computer is caused to realize a low pressing force notification function for notifying a user that the pressing force is lower than the appropriate range.

Abstract

This antenna module comprises radiation elements (121, 126), an RFIC (110), a switch (105) for selecting one of the radiation elements, and power feeding wires (141, 142, 143, 145, 210). The radiation element (126) receives a high-frequency signal in a first frequency band and radiates radio waves. The radiation element (121) receives a high-frequency signal in a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band and radiates radio waves. The RFIC converts the high-frequency signal in the first frequency band into the high-frequency signal in the second frequency band.

Abstract

This acceleration sensor comprises: a device layer that is provided with a weight portion, an elastic portion, a first vibrator, and a second vibrator each of which is disposed on an intersection surface intersecting with a sensitivity axis direction; an application mechanism that applies rotational force to the weight portion; a lower lid that is provided below the device layer in the sensitivity axis direction; and an upper lid that is provided above the device layer in the sensitivity axis direction, and is for detecting an acceleration in the sensitivity axis direction. The weight portion has a rotary shaft that is orthogonal to the sensitivity axis direction, a first rotating portion that extends from the rotary shaft, and a second rotating portion that extends from the rotary shaft to the opposite side from the first rotating portion. The elastic portion is connected to the rotary shaft of the weight portion, and holds the weight portion so as to enable the weight portion to be translated in the sensitivity axis direction. The first vibrator is connected to the first rotating portion of the weight portion, and is configured to have a resonance frequency which changes according to the displacement of the first rotating portion. The second vibrator is connected to the second rotating portion of the weight portion, and is configured to have a resonance frequency which changes according to the displacement of the second rotating portion. In detecting an acceleration in the sensitivity axis direction, the weight portion is inclined with respect to an orthogonal surface orthogonal to the sensitivity axis direction due to rotational force applied by the application mechanism, and undergoes acceleration in the sensitivity axis direction while being kept inclined, and is thus translated in the sensitivity axis direction. The acceleration in the sensitivity axis direction is detected on the basis of the difference between the resonance frequency of the first vibrator and the resonance frequency of the second vibrator.

Abstract

This compression resin sealing and molding device is for molding a sealing resin layer so as to partially cover a first surface (10a) of a substrate (10) while sealing a component (13) disposed on the first surface (10a) of the substrate (10) having the first surface (10a) and a second surface (10b) that constitute the front and back of the substrate. The compression resin sealing and molding device comprises: a lower mold that faces the first surface (10a); an upper mold (5) that abuts the second surface (10b); and a pressure sensor (8). The lower mold comprises: a lower mold center part (32) having a lower mold center upper surface corresponding to the lower surface of the sealing resin layer; a stripper part (33) arranged so as to surround the lower mold center part (32); and a passage closing member (35). A notch is provided in a part of the inner periphery of the stripper part (33), and the passage closing member (35) is disposed inside the notch. A cavity for melting and molding a resin material is formed by an inner peripheral side surface of the stripper part (33), a side surface of the passage closing member (35) on the side opposite from the stripper part (33), and the lower mold center upper surface. The stripper part (33) has, on the outside of the cavity, a pocket section that is a recess for accommodating the resin material flowing out from the cavity. The passage closing member (35) can assume, by being lowered, a first state in which outflow of the resin material from the cavity to the pocket section is allowed and, by being lifted, a second state in which outflow of the resin material from the cavity to the pocket section is hindered. The passage closing member (35) has a contact surface facing upward at a constant height. The pressure sensor (8) is disposed on at least one of an upper mold (5) and the lower mold so that the internal pressure of the cavity can be measured.
