  • Patent number: 11453243
    Abstract: A tire comprises a tread portion for which an intended tire rotational direction is specified. The tread portion comprises rows composed of blocks circumferentially divided by lateral grooves. Each block has a ground contacting top surface, and a first side wall surface and a second side wall surface located on a heel-side and a toe-side, respectively, in the intended tire rotational direction. In a cross section of each block which is parallel with the tire circumferential direction, the first and second block-side wall surfaces are both inclined, and the angle ?2 of the second side wall surface is larger than the angle ?1 of the first side wall surface with respect to the tire radial direction. The difference ?2??1 between the angles ?2 and ?1 increases toward one side in the tire axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20220143464
    Abstract: The exercise management system includes a storage device for storing user personal information; a processor including hardware for performing a game process including a process of executing a first game associated with an exercise and a process of executing a second game not associated with the exercise; and a communication interface for acquiring detection information, which is a detection result of a user state when the user performs the exercise in the first game in response to an exercise instruction to the user. The processor performs a game process to execute the first game based on performance result information, which indicates a performance result of the exercise, sets a given rest period after the execution of the first game, and does not allow the execution of the first game and allows the execution of the second game during the rest period.

  • Patent number: 11280624
    Abstract: A movable object position determining unit of a control device for a movable object is configured to determine whether a current position of the movable object is separated a predetermined distance or more from a transit point which is a junction between a valid movement track and a candidate movement track. A change processing unit is configured to change the candidate movement track as a new valid movement track when a track change determining unit determines that the current position of the movable object is separated the predetermined distance or more from the transit point as the junction.

  • Patent number: 10544777
    Abstract: A method of controlling a floating-body wind turbine power generating apparatus including a wind turbine generator disposed on a floating body includes a pitch-angle increasing step of increasing a pitch angle of a blade of the wind turbine generator when the wind turbine generator is stopped, so that an aerodynamic braking force is applied to a rotor of the wind turbine generator. In the pitch-angle increasing step, a first change rate of the pitch angle of the blade in a first period during which the wind turbine generator is in an inclining motion toward an upwind side from a vertical direction due to sway of the floating body, is smaller than a second change rate of the pitch angle of the blade in a second period during which the wind turbine generator is in an inclining motion toward a downwind side from the vertical direction due to the sway of the floating body.
