  • Publication number: 20240142216
    Abstract: A sensor unit includes: a sensor that is attached to a measurement target object becoming deformed in response to a swing taken with the measurement target object and that generates an output signal indicating a relationship between a physical quantity related to an amount of deformation of the measurement target object and a time; a feature value generation circuit that generates a feature value, the feature value being a parameter indicating a feature of the swing, on the basis of the output signal obtained by the sensor; and a communication unit that is attached to the measurement target object and that transmits the feature value to an external device by wireless communication or wired communication.

  • Publication number: 20240143284
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes an arithmetic circuit that performs an acquiring step of acquiring swing data indicating relationship between a physical quantity concerning an amount of deformation of an object to be measured and time, a determining step of determining whether the swing data indicates the physical quantity concerning the amount of deformation of the object to be measured, which occurs when the object to be measured is swung, to determine whether the swing data is to be deleted, and a deleting step of deleting the swing data if it is determined that the swing data does not indicate the physical quantity concerning the amount of deformation of the object to be measured, which occurs when the object to be measured is swung.

  • Publication number: 20240068796
    Abstract: Provided is a sensor unit including a first sensor portion that detects deformation of a measuring target object and a second sensor portion that detects deformation of the measuring target object, in which in a state in which the first sensor portion and the second sensor portion are attached to the measuring target object, the first sensor portion and the second sensor portion are fixed to the measuring target object such that the measuring target object is disposed between the first sensor portion and the second sensor portion in a first direction, and a physical property value of the first sensor portion and a physical property value of the second sensor portion are changed according to first deformation of the measuring target object.

  • Publication number: 20080182059
    Abstract: Provided is an optical recording medium having a recording layer, an intermediate layer, an adhesive layer and a cover sheet in this order on a substrate, wherein the thickness t1 of the intermediate layer after a high-temperature high-humidity storage test satisfies the relationship: 0.8t?t1?1.2t wherein t is the thickness of the intermediate layer before the high-temperature high-humidity storage test.

  • Publication number: 20070236835
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium includes a nonmagnetic support; and a magnetic layer that comprises a binder and ferromagnetic powder dispersed in the binder, wherein ? is 10 to 100 nm; and ?d is from 5 to 50 nm in terms of coating layer in the magnetic recording medium, wherein ? represents an average thickness of the magnetic layer; and ?d represents a standard deviation that is obtained by measuring by TOF-SIMS a depth profile of an element present only in the magnetic layer among elements constituting the ferromagnetic powder and subjecting a differential curve of the depth profile to a normal distribution curve fitting.

  • Patent number: 5835076
    Abstract: A pen input liquid crystal display has row electrodes, column electrodes orthogonal to the row electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the row and column electrodes. A pen input detecting signal is applied to one of the column electrodes, and display signals to the other column electrodes. The column electrode that receives the pen input detecting signal is sequentially shifted among the column electrodes, to simultaneously carry out a pen input scanning operation and an image displaying operation.

  • Patent number: 4956898
    Abstract: A hose clamping device for reducing a winding diameter of a metallic band by rotation of a worm screw to clamp a flexible hose to a connector (nipple). The hose clamping device comprises a housing fixed to one side of a band formed with engaging portions, and a worm screw meshed with the engaging portion. The hose clamping device includes rotatably operation portions provided on both sides of a shaft of the worm screw, and a band spring-up preventive member provided in the jumping direction on the free end of the band in a housing.
