Akira Kuroiwa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11382533
    Abstract: A motion analyzing device includes a myogenic potential measuring unit (20) and a myogenic potential measurement processor (101) to measure the muscle activity of a person who performs a motion and a motion measuring unit (30) and a position measurement processor (102) to measure the body motion. The motion analyzing device also includes an AA muscle co-activation ratio calculating unit (103), a muscle synergy calculating unit (104) and an equilibrium point calculating unit (105) to calculate an equilibrium point of the person and a muscle synergy that is a set of base vectors describing the equilibrium point based on a musculoskeletal model of the person and a constraint condition that the position of the endpoint of the limb matches the position of the equilibrium point in a static situation to keep a posture still under gravity compensation.

  • Patent number: 4012214
    Abstract: Use of press-molded flanged glass envelope members each including a central hollow cylindrical portion enables fabrication of high output cold cathode gas laser tubes of reduced axial length with materially reduced cost of production. The cylindrical portion of one of the envelope members surrounds one end region of the capillary tube thereby to prevent discharge concentration on the adjacent end region of the cylindrical cold cathode while that of the other envelope member serves to support the capillary tube at about the middle of its axial length, eliminating the need for a "flaring operation" requiring highly skilled labor.
