  • Patent number: 10064639
    Abstract: A medical manipulator is provided with a brake release mechanism. The brake release mechanism is provided with a release button which is provided on a tilt wheel, and a lever mechanism which has at least one portion arranged on the inside of the tilt wheel and which is pressed when the release button moves inwards. By the action of the lever mechanism when the release button is operated, braking by a brake mechanism is released.

  • Patent number: 9954277
    Abstract: An antenna unit part is coupled to a housing unit in such a way that the antenna unit part can be relatively oscillated. Acceleration sensors that detect accelerations that occur in an azimuth angle direction and an elevation angle direction are provided in the housing unit. Linear actuators are provided between the housing unit and an antenna unit part so that the linear actuators are able to adjust a relative angle of the antenna unit part with respect to the housing unit. A variation amount calculation unit calculates a variation amount in the elevation angle direction and the azimuth angle direction based on the accelerations detected by the acceleration sensors. A correction amount calculation unit calculates a correction amount to cancel the variation amount calculated by the variation amount calculation unit. The linear actuators are driven based on the correction amount.

  • Publication number: 20170161117
    Abstract: An apparatus detects, from plural virtual-machines that provide services, first and second virtual-machines that provide first and second services, respectively, and that each have a load exceeding a threshold value. The apparatus determines a first priority with which a first extension virtual-machine is to be added for the first service, based on a predicted load-value of the first virtual-machine after a lapse of a specific time-period, and a degree of importance of the first service, and determines a second priority with which a second extension virtual-machine is to be added for the second service, based on a predicted load-value of the second virtual-machine after a lapse of a specific time-period, and a degree of importance of the second service. The apparatus determines, as a preferential extension virtual-machine to be added with a higher priority, a virtual-machine that provides a service having higher one of the first and second priorities.

  • Patent number: 9322372
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a cylinder internal pressure sensor disposed in the vicinity of a distal end thereof. The cylinder internal pressure sensor detects a cylinder internal pressure in a cylinder and outputs a first sensor signal Ss1 responsive to the detected cylinder internal pressure. Further, a signal processor, which carries out predetermined signal processing with respect to the first sensor signal Ss1 to thereby convert the first sensor signal Ss1 into a second sensor signal Ss2, is disposed between the cylinder internal pressure sensor and a solenoid unit, which is disposed on a proximal end side of the fuel injection valve.
