  • Publication number: 20230143373
    Abstract: A medical apparatus includes a treatment mechanism, a slave actuator, an operation control unit, and a parameter acquisition unit. The treatment mechanism is used for treating a patient. The slave actuator causes the treatment mechanism to perform the treatment. The operation control unit calculates the control parameters related to the force tactile sensation, based on the information about the position that is detected along with the treatment and controls the operation of the slave actuator for causing the treatment mechanism to perform the treatment, based on the control parameters related to the force tactile sensation. The parameter acquisition unit acquires the control parameters related to the force tactile sensation.

  • Patent number: 11400878
    Abstract: An airbag device for a passenger seat includes an airbag that has a folded form and is stored in a storage disposed in an instrument panel. The airbag includes a bag body and a tether section. The tether section includes a left-right tether that connects a left wall and a right wall of the bag body for regulating a distance between the left and right walls at airbag deployment, and is configured to be deployed generally along a left and right direction of the bag body as deployed, and a front-rear tether that connects a central portion in a left and right direction of the left-right tether and a central portion in a left and right direction of a passenger-side wall for preventing the passenger-side wall from protruding rearward at airbag deployment, and is configured to be deployed in a front and rear direction of the bag body as deployed.
