The force sensing device includes a deformable member having portions arranged to make a pair with respect to the Z-axis. Three sets of strain detecting elements are formed on the deformable member for detecting deformations of the deformable member caused by a linear force in the X-axis, a linear force in the Y-axis and a rotational force about the Z-axis. The force sensing device includes a connecting member which connects between the pair of portions of the deformable member, and between the deformable member and a shaft of a manipulatable member. The force sensing device can be manufactured with easy wiring work and can detect the applied force in three degrees of freedom, including the linear force in the X-axis, the linear force in the Y-axis and the rotational force about the Z-axis.

An input device includes an operating member, a restoring force generating part for automatically returning the operating member to a stationary position, a detector for detecting an operation state of the operating member, an actuator for applying an external force to the operating member and a controller for controlling the actuator. The operating member is displaceable in directions along a XY plane including an X axis and a Y axis and rotatable about a Z axis. The actuator includes a first magnet, a second magnet and an electromagnet having a core and a coil. One of the electromagnet and the first and second magnets is integrated with the operating member. At least in a stationary condition, the first magnet and the second magnet are located on opposite sides of an axis of rotation of the operating member, and are opposed to end surfaces of the core across predetermined clearances, respectively.

A display control device for a remote control device is disclosed. The display control device is connected with a display device for displaying an operation screen having multiple icons and a remote control device spaced apart form the display device. The display control device performs display control in the following way. The display control device displays an identification display mark in association with one icon in a selection state. When an instruction of an operation direction is inputted, the display control device displays a visual presentation indicative of the operation direction on the operation screen by making a change in display manner of the identification display mark, with the identification display mark being displayed in association with the one icon in the selection state.

A pair of cylindrical magnets with cut away portions has been arranged on both sides of a magnetic sensing element in symmetry of rotation, and a yoke surrounds the magnetic sensing element in contact with outer peripheral surfaces of the pair of the cylindrical magnets with cut away portions. The pair of the cylindrical magnets with cut away portions rotates around an axial center with a concurrent axial displacement along with a rotation of a rotating body. The pair of the cylindrical magnets with cut away portions is arranged in inclined manner against an axis-of-rotation of the magnet. Thereby, the rotation and the displacement in the direction of the axis against the magnetic sensing element of the pair of the cylindrical magnets with cut away portions, and the number of times of rotation can be detected by detecting the size of the magnetic flux density by the magnetic sensing element. The pair of the cylindrical magnets with cut away portions improves the size and linearity of the magnetic field on the axial center.

A driving gear, which is a scissors gear, fixed to a rotating body, engages with a driven gear, and the driven gear engages with a fixed screw receiver. A first gear and a second gear of the driving gear elastically bias the tooth of the driven gear by a coil spring in the direction of an inner side of a diameter; consequently the driven gear 5 is forced on the screw receiver. Gears formed in the tooth tips of the driven gear engage with a partial spiral screw of the screw receiver.

A rotation angle detecting device that detects a rotation angle of a rotating object includes a permanent magnet that generates magnetic fields in response to rotation of the rotating object, a magnetic sensor, a first yoke and a second yoke. The magnetic sensor includes a pair of close integrated magnetic sensing elements, such as hall elements, disposed at a position around the permanent magnet so that one of the sensing elements senses magnetic field at a phase different from the other. The first yoke and the second yoke forms two magnetic paths crossing each other at the magnetic sensor.

A rotation angle detecting device includes a signal generator, a magnetic rotor and a rotation angle calculating unit that calculates a rotation angle θ of the rotor based on the output signals of the signal generator. The signal generator includes a magnetic rotor that has a permanent magnet and a shaft connectable with the rotating object and at least three magnetic sensor elements disposed in the magnetic field to generate a plurality of output signals when the rotor rotates. The rotation angle calculating unit calculates a first candidate of the rotation angle θ from a first pair of the three output signals, examines whether the first candidate of the rotation angle θ is normal or not and calculates a next candidate of the rotation angle θ from another pair of the three output signals if the first candidate of the rotation angle θ is not normal, examines whether the next candidate of the rotation angle θ is normal or not, repeats the above two steps until a next candidate of the rotation angle θ is judged normal, and outputs one of the first and next candidates of the rotation angle θ as a formal rotation angle if it is judged normal.
