Publication number: 20240086565Abstract: A data distribution device distributes a plurality of sets of data to a user one set of data at a time intermittently at intervals. Every time derived data obtained using the data are generated by the user, a registration device for user registers derived data generation history information indicating that the derived data are generated in a history management database. A derived data generation history information monitor examines whether or not derived data generation history information is registered in the history management database at a predetermined timing and, when no derived data generation history information is registered, suspends subsequent distribution of the data from the data distributor to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kentaro Oda, Yosuke Mizukami, Hiroyuki Nozaki

Patent number: 10414310Abstract: In the case of a seat with an armrest on an automobile, an armrest lock mechanism may be released by, for example, the gravitational acceleration (G) in the event of vehicle collision. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide an anti-G spring for biasing to prevent the lock mechanism from being easily released. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an armrest unlocking device that enables a decrease in size of the anti-G spring. In order to solve the problem, provided is an armrest unlocking device in gear, the device operating such that the locking of the lock gear and the sector gear can be released by operating a lever link bracket so as to raise the lock gear, wherein the lock gear has a center of rotation thereof aligned with the position of the center of gravity.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: TACHI-S CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Nozaki, Masaaki Honda
