  • Publication number: 20230035665
    Abstract: A strain wave gearing unit has a unit housing, a strain wave gearing, and a bearing device. Balls of a bearing part of the bearing device are positioned on the diametrically outer side with respect to a cylindrical barrel part of an externally toothed gear. The diameter S of the balls is 0.05 to 0.15 times the pitch diameter D of the externally toothed gear. The centers of the balls are positioned between a point at a distance of 1.2 times the diameter S toward the cylindrical-barrel-part side from an inner-side end surface of a diaphragm along a center axis and a point at a distance of 1 times the diameter S toward a side opposite the cylindrical barrel part from the inner-side end surface. The bearing device can be configured to be used in common for strain wave gearing units having different axial lengths.

  • Publication number: 20230031913
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device that processes information regarding augmented reality. The information processing device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a position and a posture, or a shape of a first part on a body of a user, and a control unit configured to control a virtual object to be displayed in a real space on a display device on the basis of the position and the posture, or the shape of the first part. When recognizing that the first part has performed a first operation for a second part on the body of the user on the basis of the position and the posture, or the shape of the first part acquired by the acquisition unit, the control unit stores an execution state of the virtual object in association with the second part, and stops display of the virtual object by the display device.

  • Publication number: 20220409343
    Abstract: An orthodontic alignment device can have a palatal contour anchorage (PCA) feature that generally matches the shape of the patient's hard pallet. This PCA feature may be built slightly off-set to deliberately push against the patient's palate and/or gingiva to provide anchorage support of staged translation of the teeth. By transferring the required anchorage away from the teeth and onto the palate, through the PCA feature, the adjacent teeth are no longer subjected to unwanted side effects of reaction forces.
