Abstract: A biometric information processing device (1) includes a brain wave detecting unit (10), a control unit (20), and a movement assisting unit (30). The brain wave detecting unit (10) detects biometric information in at least one brain region from among a plurality of brain regions that are selectable in accordance with a body part that is a target of function recovery or function improvement. The control unit (20) determines, based on the detected biometric information, at least one activity state in the brain including the location of the brain region(s) that is (are) activated in a subject while attempting to move the body part, and an activation level of such activated brain region(s). When the control unit (20) determines that the at least one activated state of the brain satisfies a predetermined condition, the movement assisting unit (30) executes a predetermined motion to assist movement of the body part.

Abstract: In an armature wherein a plurality of base metals 15 electrically insulated from one another are solidly secured to the surface of a boss portion 10, carbon protective members 18 are jointed to the surfaces of the base metals 15, respectively, through a solder layer 19 and coil ends 5 of an armature core are jointed to the risers, an auxiliary electrode portion 17 is formed integrally with the riser 12 on each of the base metals 15.

Abstract: A vent valve wherein a valve opening to be opened or closed by a valve body is provided at its one axial end, and the other end is opened for a fluid passage and concaved toward inside at its three portions, thereby the valve body being prevented from falling off. The vent valve is used for ejecting air out of the fuel passage for a vehicle fuel pump. On the valve opening side of the barrel, a step portion is provided to divide the barrel into the valve body moving portion, where the valve body moves to open or close the valve opening, and a valve body storing portion having a larger diameter than that of the valve body moving portion. On this valve body storing portion having a larger diameter, the barrel is pressed into the vent passage.
