Patent number: 6715205Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a wire component on a substrate has a feed device for feeding a wire a predetermined length intermittently, and an insert device for cutting the wire fed out by the feed device, bending the cut wire to form a wire component, rotating and positioning the wire component, and then inserting the wire component in a hole defined in the substrate. In particular, irrespective of a position of the insert device, the feed device feeds out the wire in a direction where no interference would occur between the feed device and the insert device.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2001Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Watanabe, Dai Yokoyama, Toshiyuki Koyama, Hiromi Kinoshita

Publication number: 20030149371Abstract: In an exercise machine, when a measurement starts, an electrocardiographic signal is detected by an electrocardiographic sensor 1 (ST33), a load drive is started (ST4), and heartbeat rate intervals of the electrocardiographic signal are sequentially obtained. A fluctuation of heartbeat rate intervals PI(n) % is obtained from a calculation formula in which the RR interval RR(n+1) of the current heartbeat is subtracted from the RR interval RR(n) of the previous heartbeat, which is then divided by RR(n) and multiplied by 100% (ST5). Entropy is calculated from 128 pieces of such PI (ST6). From the change of the entropy under the gradually increasing load (ST8), a minimum point of the entropy is obtained, which point is designated as an anaerobic threshold point (ST7). The load of the exercise machine is controlled employing this anaerobic threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2002Publication date: August 7, 2003Applicant: Omron CorporationInventors: Toshikazu Shiga, Tatsuya Kobayashi, Hiromi Kinoshita, Manabu Yoshimura
