  • Patent number: 11929173
    Abstract: The server is a learning apparatus including a data acquisition unit and a learning unit. The data acquisition unit acquires profile data and a selected assistance level as learning data. The profile data indicates a profile related to a trainee before executing rehabilitation regarding rehabilitation executed using a walking training apparatus as a rehabilitation support system. The selected assistance level is an assistance level selected at the time of executing the rehabilitation. The learning unit learns to determine a recommended assistance level recommended to be selected when the trainee uses the rehabilitation support system based on the learning data. Further, the learning unit generates a trained model that receives the profile data and outputs the recommended assistance level based on the learning.

  • Patent number: 8556387
    Abstract: An ink jet head unit including a head (2) in which a plurality of nozzle arrays (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) are formed. Each of the nozzle arrays has a number of nozzle holes, and ink can be ejected from the nozzle holes. The head (2) is mounted on the head base, and flat cables (4a, 4b) are connected at one end to mounting parts (7a, 7b), which are interposed between a first pair of the nozzle arrays (2a, 2b) and a second pair of the nozzle arrays (2c, 2d). The flat cables are flexibly formed by covering transmission wires with an insulation film. The flat cables are connected to the head to transmit ink ejection signals for driving the head.
