  • Patent number: 11996001
    Abstract: A walking training apparatus is a motion support system that includes a walking assistance apparatus as an assistance apparatus, a selected assistance level setting unit, a load data acquisition unit, an angle sensor as a displacement sensor, and an overall control unit as a control unit. The assistance apparatus assists a motion of a joint performed by a user. The assistance level setting unit sets an assistance level that is a level of a force exerted by the assistance apparatus. The load data acquisition unit acquires load data related to a load of the assistance apparatus. The displacement sensor detects a displacement of the joint. The control unit determines a recommended assistance level, which is an assistance level to be recommended, based on the assistance level, the load data, and an output of the displacement sensor, and outputs information about the determined recommended assistance level.

  • Patent number: 7712183
    Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner (1) of the invention is adapted for wipe off cleaning using a sheet wound about a rotary brush (25) incorporated in a suction device (10). In order to wind a sheet (50) around a periphery of the rotary brush (25), a brush motor (44) rotates the rotary brush (25) in a predetermined direction at a predetermined rotational speed. At the same time, suction force of an electric blower fan (42) is set to the lowest level. This achieves the following advantage in a case where a wet sheet is used as the sheet (50). During sheet winding, water and alcohol released from the wet sheet (50) can be prevented from being scattered on a surface (100) to be cleaned. Further, the released water and alcohol do not adversely affect the electric blower fan (42).
