摘要:
A touch sensor system 100 includes buses 110, a plurality of touch sensor devices 200 disposed on the buses 110, and an information integrating device 140 that is connected to all the buses 110 and integrates information from the touch sensor device 200. The touch sensor device 200 includes a sensor unit and a signal processing unit that transmits a sensor data signal generated by processing an analog sensor signal to the information integrating device through the bus. The signal processing unit includes a digital converting unit, a threshold evaluating unit that gives a start permission of the signal process when a sensor value exceeds a preset threshold, an ID adding unit that adds a transmitter identification number to the sensor signal, and a data transmitting unit that outputs the sensor data signal to a signal line of the bus. Fast responses are made possible without increasing the amount of data and host processing load while including many touch sensor elements.

A sensor unit 10 includes at least three kinesthetic-sense sensors 11 arranged along a plane, each including a first force-receiving part 111 configured to receive an external force. The sensor unit 10 includes a connecting member 12 including a second force-receiving part 13 configured to receive an external force, configured to transfer the external force received by the second force-receiving part 13 to each first force-receiving part 111 and connecting the first force-receiving parts 111 with each other. The sensor unit 10 includes an output unit 15 configured to output signals corresponding to a pressing force in an orthogonal-axis direction orthogonal to the plane and pressing forces in two axial directions parallel to the plane, respectively, the pressing forces being components of divided forces of the external force received by the second force-receiving part 13, received by the respective first force-receiving parts 111 through the connecting member 12.

An inverted two-wheel vehicle includes: an inverted two-wheel vehicle body; an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor which are mounted on the same substrate; and an ECU. The ECU calculates a mounting angle error of the acceleration sensor with respect to the inverted two-wheel vehicle body based on an output value of the acceleration sensor obtained when the inverted two-wheel vehicle is brought into a stationary state in a state where a reference yaw axis of the inverted two-wheel vehicle is made coincident with a vertical direction, and corrects an output value of the gyro sensor by using the mounting angle error of the acceleration sensor with respect to the inverted two-wheel vehicle body as a mounting angle error of the gyro sensor with respect to the inverted two-wheel vehicle body.

An inverted vehicle for which inversion control is performed comprises a first sensor that detects an angular speed around an axis inclined from a pitch axis by a first predetermined angle, a second sensor that detects an angular speed around an axis inclined from the pitch axis by a second predetermined angle, a third sensor that detects an angular speed around the pitch axis, a pitch-axis acceleration detection unit that detects an acceleration along the pitch axis, a roll-axis acceleration detection unit that detects an acceleration along a roll axis, a yaw-axis acceleration detection unit that detects an acceleration along the yaw axis, and a control unit that performs the inversion control based on the detected angular speeds. A control unit puts a specific safety function in motion based on a mutual relation among a first angular speed around the pitch axis calculated based on the angular speeds detected by the first and second sensors, a second angular speed around the pitch axis detected by the third sensor, and a third angular speed around the pitch axis calculated based on the detected accelerations.
