  • Patent number: 10720287
    Abstract: A push button for a control panel. The push button includes a button body and a reflector molded as a single, monolithic piece with links extending between the button body and the reflector. A divider of the button body is between a first light source of a printed circuit board and an indicator light guide of the button body. The divider restricts light from the first light source from illuminating the indicator light guide.

  • Patent number: 10293882
    Abstract: An electrically power assisted bicycle includes a driving system including an electric motor that generates an assist force to assist human power of a rider and a first controller configured or programmed to control an operation of the electric motor; and an operation panel including buttons and a second controller. The buttons include a power button that turns on or off a power of the driving system, and an assist force setting button that sets an assist force of the electric motor. The second controller detects a press on each of the buttons to execute a predefined process. When the second controller detects a specific operation different from a normal operation on at least one button among the buttons while electric power is supplied to the driving system and the second controller is operated in a normal operation mode, the second controller prohibits the power from being turned off.

  • Patent number: 9801614
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound image acquirer, an evaluation target determiner, a disease progression score calculator, a selector, and a display controller. The ultrasound image acquirer acquires ultrasound image signals of a plurality of frames. The evaluation target determiner analyzes the ultrasound image signal of each frame and determines the frame to be an evaluation target frame when the ultrasound image signal includes a target image section depicting a joint. The disease progression score calculator calculates, for each evaluation target frame, a disease progression score quantifying disease activity using an ultrasound image signal of the target image section included in the ultrasound image signal of the evaluation target frame. The selector selects at least one disease progression score in accordance with a predetermined numerical process.
