  • Patent number: 10461669
    Abstract: A wind power generation system including a power generation unit having an elastically deformable base material in a shape of a longitudinal flat plate and a piezoelectric element disposed on the base material, and which generates electricity as the power generation unit is vibrated; the piezoelectric element is repeatedly bent and deformed by the vibration and stacked on the base material, the wind power generation system being configured to include a tension adjusting device that, when a wind speed is increased, moves the movable member to increase a tensile force that pulls the power generation unit in the longitudinal direction, and the tension adjusting device being a lift generating member that is formed integrally with the movable member so as to be extended and to have wing shape to both sides of the movable member and that moves the movable member based on lift generated according to the wind speed.

  • Patent number: 10075103
    Abstract: A power generation device for a mobile body includes power generating units and a holding member. Each power generating unit includes an elastically deformable base member and a piezoelectric film, which are laminated alternately. The holding member holds the power generating units. Each power generating unit has an elongated flat-plate shape. Opposite ends of the power generating unit in a longitudinal direction are held by the holding member such that the power generating unit is in an orientation in which a longitudinal axis is substantially perpendicular to the flow direction of the external fluid. A fixing member is provided at each of the opposite ends in the longitudinal direction of each power generating unit. The power generating units are arranged in the holding member via the fixing members to pivot in accordance with the flow of the external fluid.

  • Patent number: 8190634
    Abstract: An application program package (APP) in a Web server extracts attribute information about an image file registered in a public folder (for example, subject feature information about a subject appearing in the image file). The APP calculates a reference value of the subject feature information from the subject feature information about multiple image files associated with the public folder. The APP determines the subject feature information having the reference value as feature information. The APP acquires a level of similarity between the subject feature information about every image file and the feature information. The APP sets a display mode of the image file registered in the public folder in association with the public folder based on the level of similarity and controls the image file so as to be displayed in the display mode in a client PC.
