  • Patent number: 11052010
    Abstract: A training device suppresses unintended operation of an operation rod when executing an operation mode in which operation of the operation rod is controlled based on a force applied to the operation rod. The training device includes the operation rod, a motor, a force detector, a rotation information output sensor, a first command calculator, and a force corrector. The operation rod moves a limb. The motor operates the operation rod in a direction of degree of freedom. The force detector detects a force component and outputs a force component signal. The rotation information output sensor detects an operation position of the operation rod in a corresponding direction of degree of freedom. The force corrector calculates a corrected force component value based on operation positions of the operation rod and force component signal. The first command calculator calculates a first motor control command based on the corrected force component value.

  • Patent number: 9833374
    Abstract: A training apparatus includes a fixed frame, a training rod, a motor, rotation information detection sensor, tilt angle and position difference calculation units, determination, motor drive and position difference eliminating units. The training rod is supported by the fixed frame in a manner capable of being tilted by a motor about at least an X-axis or a Y-axis so as to hold the limb. The tilt angle calculation unit calculates a tilt angle of the training rod. The position difference calculation unit calculates a position difference. The determination unit obtains the position difference every time when a second time period elapses. If the position difference generated in the second time period is a first threshold or lower, the motor drive unit drives the motor so that the position difference is accumulated and maintained. The position difference eliminating unit resets the position difference at a predetermined timing.

  • Patent number: 7610511
    Abstract: Provided is a computer system including a first storage subsystem and a second storage subsystem. The first storage subsystem has a first storage unit and a first control unit. The second storage subsystem has a second storage unit and a second control unit. The first control unit records journals, and identifies, when data stored in the first storage unit is to be migrated to the second storage unit, which ones of the recorded journals are related to the data that is to be migrated. The first control unit chooses the identified journals one at a time in reverse chronological order, and judges whether or not the chosen journal corresponds to a data update made at some point between a current time and a time that precedes the current time by a length of a journal retention term set for the second storage subsystem.

  • Patent number: 7428624
    Abstract: Provided is a computer system including a plurality of data storage apparatus and manages a bandwidth of a data storage apparatus according to an attribute of a storage volume. A storage system includes an interface for processing access to the storage volume from a host computer, and a control unit for controlling allocation of the storage volume to the host computer. A management computer transmits a request of setting a bandwidth to be accessed by the host computer via the interface in the storage volume to the storage system. The control unit sets the bandwidth corresponding to a ratio of processing access to each storage volume in the storage system based on the request from the management computer, and allocates the storage volume having the bandwidth requested by the host computer set therein to the host computer to be accessed by the host computer to the allocated storage volume.
