  • Publication number: 20250146894
    Abstract: An optical sensor includes two light emitters with the same or substantially the same temperature dependence of luminous intensity of light. A reflector reflects and diffuses light emitted by the light emitters such that a portion of the reflected light is incident on a light receiver. An elastic support supports the reflector, and deforms and changes a relative position of the reflector and the light emitters and the light receiver. A processor calculates a physical quantity depending on an amount of deformation of the elastic support based a ratio between two amounts of light received by the light receiver when respective light emitters emit light at different timings. The light emitters and the light receiver are fixed relative to each other, and a distance from one of the light emitters to the light receiver is different from a distance from another of the light emitters to the light receiver.

  • Patent number: 12292097
    Abstract: The present invention enables a simple structure to provide an easy adjustment of damping torque to be caused by applied rotation. The rotary damper (1) is intend to limit movement of viscous fluid filled in a circular cylindrical chamber (111), thereby generating a damping torque in response to an applied rotational force. The lid (15) is the screw-on type capable of being screwed into the casing (11), and thus adjusting a clearance gap G1 between the lid (15) and each partition (115) by way of changing the screwing amount of the lid (15) into the casing (11) allows amount of viscous fluid moving through the clearance gap G1 to be adjusted, thereby resulting in adjustment of a damping torque to be caused by rotation. In addition, each axial force generation member (17) includes a plastically or elastically deformable element and is located between the lid (15) and the corresponding partition (115) to apply a reaction force to the lid (15).

  • Patent number: 12289184
    Abstract: An estimation system generates, from a value of a time series of an estimation object in a past period, a plurality of patterns of a transition of a value of the estimation object. Based on the plurality of generated patterns and a value of a time series of a factor in the past period, the estimation system specifies a dependency relationship between a transition pattern and a value of the factor and a transition pattern at a past (or future) time point and identifies a model in accordance with the specified dependency relationship. By inputting a value of a time series of the factor in a future period to the estimation model, the estimation system specifies a time series of a value in the future period of the estimation object using at least one transition pattern.
