Abstract: An occupational therapy support device according to the present disclosure includes an input data reception unit, an estimation unit, and an estimated data output unit. The input data reception unit receives the input of input data including sleep data of the subject of occupational therapy evaluation and the basic data of the subject. The estimation unit inputs the received input data to a trained artificial intelligence to cause the artificial intelligence to estimate the activity of daily living data of the subject and the physical function data of the subject. The estimated data output unit outputs the data estimated by the artificial intelligence. The sleep data includes the number of turns, the number of body movements, the number of times of going to the bathroom, and the time in the bathroom. The basic data includes the age, height, weight, and medical history.

Abstract: A portable radio communication terminal is provided comprising: a radio transmitter/receiver for transmitting and receiving signals over a public mobile communications network, a microphone unit and a loudspeaker unit for entering and releasing the communication signals to be transmitted and received by the radio transmitter/receiver, a light emitter for emitting light to indicate details of an action, an operation entering unit, and a controller. When the normal mode is selected with the operation entering unit, the controller turns the microphone unit, the loudspeaker unit, and the light emitter on to start the communication via the radio transmitter/receiver to a predetermined emergency call station. When the static mode is selected with the operation entering unit, the controller turns the loudspeaker unit and the light emitter off while holding the microphone turned on to start the access via the radio transmitter/receiver to the emergency call station.

Abstract: Includes a lower holding table on which one substrate is held with the inner surface up and the outer surface down, an upper holding table provided above and opposed to the lower holding table, the bottom surface of which is used as a holding surface that holds the other substrate, a supplying device that holds the other substrate with the outer surface up and supplies the other substrate to a position at which the outer surface of the other substrate faces the holding surface of the upper holding table, a delivering device that delivers the other substrate that has been supplied to the position opposing the holding surface of the upper holding table by the supplying device, onto the holding surface of the upper holding table such that the outer surface of the other substrate is held, and a driving device that drives the upper and lower holding tables relatively in vertical and horizontal directions to align the two substrates held on the holding tables and bond them together via a sealing agent.

Abstract: A lower holding table and an upper holding table, which hold substrates, respectively, are moved relative to each other, causing one of the substrates to contact the drops of liquid crystal, formed on the other substrate. The substrate that is held on the lower holding table is thereby made to float. Next, the floating substrate is made to abut on the lower holding table. A contact load smaller than the bonding load to be applied to bond the substrates together is thereby applied to the two substrates, thus aligning the substrates with each other in the horizontal direction. The bonding load is applied to the two substrates thus aligned. The substrates are thereby bonded with a seal layer.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrostatic attracting method in which a direct-current voltage is applied to an electrode disposed at a table formed of a dielectric material to attract/hold a substrate onto a holding surface of the table with an electrostatic force produced thereby, the method comprising a first step of applying a voltage having a predetermined polarity to the electrode to charge the holding surface with an electric charge having a polarity different from that applied to the electrode, a second step of holding the substrate in contact with the holding surface to prevent electric charges charged on the holding surface from disappearing, and a third step of applying a voltage having a polarity different from that applied in the first step to the electrode in a state in which the substrate contacts the holding surface to produce an electric charge having the same polarity as that charged at the holding surface in the first step on the holding surface of the table, and attracting/holding the substrate w

Abstract: A bonding apparatus which bonds two substrates together with a sealing agent applied to, in the form of a frame, on one of the substrates. The apparatus comprises a first retaining table having a retaining surface which retains a first substrate thereon, a second retaining table opposed to the first retaining table and having a retaining surface which retains a second substrate thereon, a nonviscous elastic material provided on that part of the retaining surface of at least one of the retaining tables which retains the substrate thereon, and first and second drive sources which relatively drive the first and second retaining tables in the vertical direction so that the substrates on the respective retaining surfaces of the retaining tables are bonded together with the sealing agent.

Abstract: A substrate laminating apparatus has an upper stage for holding an upper glass substrate and a lower stage for holding a lower glass substrate, and which laminates together the upper glass substrate and the lower glass substrate in a condition that both of the substrates are positioned relative to each other. An image pickup device photographs position detecting marks on the upper and lower glass substrates, and a moving device changes a relative distance between the image pickup device and the upper/lower glass substrates. A data acquiring device acquires data about the relative distance between the upper/lower glass substrates and the image pickup device, and a control device controls the moving device based on data about the relative distance.
