Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a support leg connected to a floor to be pivotable about a first axis extending in a horizontal direction; a seat cushion connected to the support leg to be pivotable about a second axis which is parallel to the first axis; a first coupling device provided on the support leg and configured to be detachably coupled with a first coupling part provided on the floor; and a second coupling device provided on the seat cushion and configured to be detachably coupled with a second coupling part provided on the floor. The seat cushion is movable between a stowed position in which the seat cushion is in a lowest position, a first use position in which the first coupling device is coupled with the first coupling part, and a second use position in which the second coupling device is coupled with the second coupling part.

Abstract: Disclosed is a seat including: sensors which includes a first cushion sensor provided at a seat cushion in a position corresponding to buttocks of an occupant, a second cushion sensor provided at the seat cushion and located farther frontward than the first cushion sensor, a first back sensor provided at a seat back and located in a lower position thereof, and a second back sensor provided at the seat back and located above the first back sensor; and a controller connected to the sensors and thereby allowed to acquire pressure values from the respective sensors. The controller is configured to identify the motion of the occupant based on outputs of at least two sensors of the first cushion sensor, the second cushion sensor, the first back sensor, and the second back sensor.

Abstract: A wash water processing apparatus of reusing wash water includes: a washing processing part washing a subject to be washed; a wash water accommodation part into which processed water used in a washing process in the washing processing part is once accommodated; a sterilization and purification unit causing, while acting with an ozone supply function, ozone water to be contained in the processed water flowing through the wash water accommodation part in a circular manner; and a filtration mechanism part configured to include a filter and an ion-exchange resin and sequentially filtrating the processed water to be reused as wash water in the washing processing part, as the ozone water is supplied as the processed water is mixed to dilute an ozone concentration in the wash water accommodation part. In a state where the ozone concentration is adjusted, the processed water is passed through the filter and the ion-exchange resin.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat body and a sensor configured to acquired information on an occupant seated on the seat body. The seat includes a coating as a location marker that marks a location of the sensor to render the location visually recognizable from outside the seat body.

Abstract: The invention provides a liquid crystal composition satisfying at least one of characteristics such as a high maximum temperature of a nematic phase, a low minimum temperature of the nematic phase, a small viscosity, a large optical anisotropy, a large negative dielectric anisotropy, a large elastic constant, a large specific resistance, a high stability to ultraviolet light and to heat, or having a suitable balance regarding at least two of the characteristics, and the AM device having a short response time, a large voltage holding ratio, a large contrast ratio, a long service life and so forth The liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy may contain a specific three ring compound having a high maximum temperature and a high elastic constant, as the first component, a specific compound having a large negative dielectric anisotropy as the second component, a specific compound having a small viscosity as the third component, and a specific compound having a large negative dielectric a

Abstract: An image creation system which creates image data of an image to be displayed by a display section of a programmable display device includes the programmable display device and a personal computer (PC). When a user conducts an operation by use of a mouse etc., an image creation operating section of the PC creates operation data indicative of content of the operation. A data transmission and reception section of the PC transmits, to the programmable display device, the operation data whose data format is compatible with the programmable display device. A control section of the programmable display device causes the programmable display device to draw the image in accordance with the operation data received by the programmable display device.

Abstract: A key of each measure is distinguished depending on performance data representing sounds composing a tune. It is judged whether or not the distinguished key coincides with tonality data of the corresponding performance data, whereby it is judged whether or not the performance data is modulated with a key signature omitted. A musical score corresponding to a portion which is not modulated with a key signature omitted is displayed in a normal manner. Meanwhile, a musical score corresponding to a portion which is modulated with a key signature omitted is displayed in a specific displaying manner different from the normal displaying manner, such as in color different from the normal displaying manner, and/or in a reversed displaying manner, whereby a user can confirm the portion which is modulated with a key signature omitted.

Abstract: An ultra-miniature in-vivo electrode used for measuring the bioelectrical neural activity etc. in a living body with small cubic volume, slight burden to the living body, and high insulation performance, thereby facilitating long term stable measurements. Structurally the in-vivo electrode comprises conductors 13, 14 made of polymeric material having a through-hole 19 in each center so as to lead a measuring object 18; a intervening member 15 made of non-conductive polymeric material provided in between the conductors so as to insulate the periphery of the conductors; edge members 16, 17 provided in the outer edge of the conductors; a clad body 12 made of cylindrical insulant enclosing the periphery of them; measuring wires 21,22 to lead electricity to outside from each conductor 21, 22; a slit 26 which reaches the through-hole 19 from the outside surface being formed in all of the conductors, the intervening member, the edge members, and the clad body.

Abstract: A telephone apparatus can receive information about a third party sent from a telephone exchange with a call waiting service when a call is issued from the third party during a conversation using the telephone apparatus. Upon issuance of the call from the third party during the conversation over the telephone apparatus, the exchange sends out an alert signal, in response to which the telephone apparatus sends back an acknowledge signal. The telephone apparatus also mutes a speech transmitter circuit in order to protect calling party information such as a telephone number sent from the exchange in succession from being destroyed by a speech signal. The calling party information sent from the exchange can be received without fail and can subsequently be displayed.
