Abstract:
A bicycle pedal assembly has a cleat releasably coupled to a pedal by a cleat engagement mechanism formed on an upper surface of its pedal body. The pedal body has a front end configured and arranged to include a sole guide portion that assists the rider in rotating the pedal body about its pedal shaft. In one embodiment, the sole guide portion is formed by a first concaved sole receiving recess located in a tip surface of the pedal body and a second concaved sole receiving recess located on the upper surface of the pedal body adjacent to the tip surface. Alternatively, the concaved sole receiving recesses can be replaced with either a pair of laterally spaced projections located on at the front end of the pedal body, or a V-shaped tip surface.

Abstract:
A touch-sensored display device 20 according to the present invention includes: a counter substrate 6 disposed on a viewer side of an active matrix substrate 8 via a display medium layer 4, the counter substrate 6 having a counter electrode 5 which opposes pixel electrodes; a display panel driving circuit 14 for supplying to the counter electrode 5 a common voltage which undergoes periodic inversion in polarity; a transparent conductive film 7 for position detection placed so as to oppose the counter electrode 5 via the counter substrate 6; a strobe signal generation circuit 32 for generating a strobe signal which is in synchronization with a polarity inversion period of the common voltage, and a noise-cut current signal generation circuit 30 for generating a noise-cut current signal which is obtained by eliminating based on the strobe signal a predetermined portion from a current flowing from a terminal connected to the transparent conductive film 7 for position detection.
Abstract:
Provided is a display device with a touch sensor that can avoid the influence of noise originating from the polarity inversion of a common voltage of the display device without using special circuitry. The display device with a touch sensor includes a sensor output readout circuit (21) that is sequentially connected to multiple sensor electrodes in a touch sensor unit (7) and outputs signal voltages that correspond to the electrical characteristics of the electrodes, a sensor control circuit (23) that supplies a control signal to the sensor output readout circuit (21), and a coordinate computation circuit (22) that detects a contact position based on the signal voltages. The sensor control circuit (23) causes a scan operation, in which the sensor output readout circuit (21) is sequentially connected to all of the sensor electrodes of the touch sensor unit (7) and outputs the signal voltages, to start after the common voltage has switched from a first polarity to a second polarity, and to end before the common voltage returns to the first polarity.
