Abstract: An onboard device estimates a traveling state of a vehicle that may be influenced by the psychological state of a driver, based on an utterance of the driver without the use of various sensors, and includes: a voice collection unit for collecting a driver's voice; a traveling state collection unit for collecting traveling state information representing a traveling state of a vehicle; a database generation unit for generating a database by associating voice information corresponding to the collected voice with the collected traveling state information; a learning unit for learning an estimation model, with pairs including the voice information and the traveling state information recorded in the generated database being used as learning data; and an estimation unit for estimating the traveling state of the vehicle that may be influenced by a psychological state of the driver by using the estimation model, based on an utterance of the driver.

Abstract: A first yoke includes a tubular portion extending in a first direction, a flange, and a pair of arms extending from the flange. Support holes for a joint spider are formed at tips of the respective arms. The arms have respective inner surfaces facing each other in a second direction. Each of the inner surfaces includes a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion as viewed in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The first recessed portions are recessed such that the distance between the inner surfaces of the arms increases from a start end located closer to an opening edge of each support hole toward an end point located closer to a base end of the arm. Each of the second recessed portions connects the end point to an end surface of a flange so as to form a curved surface.

Abstract: A music apparatus is provided in a portable terminal set having a plurality of controls. In the music apparatus, a storage stores a plurality of performance patterns. An allocating section allocates the plurality of the performance patterns to the plurality of the controls. A reproducing section is responsive to operation of the controls for reproducing the performance patterns allocated to the operated controls. In case of creating music, a setting section is operated for setting timings of reproducing the performance patterns while operating the controls. A composing section operates based on the selecting of the performance patterns and the setting of the timings for composing a sequence of the performance patterns, the sequence being effective to enable the portable terminal set to sequentially reproduce the selected performance patterns at the set timings.

Abstract: To provide a link bodies-connected cable drag chain, in which even in a case where a long flexible body C such as a cable, a hose or the like is incorporated a roller, which protects the flexible body, can be easily detached from the link bodies. The cable drag chain of the present invention is formed by articulately connecting a plurality of link bodies each having a pair of plates 22. Between the pair of plates 22 is rotatably provided a roller 24, which protects the flexible body. In the plate 22 is formed a through-hole 25 larger than the outer diameter of the roller 24, and to this through-hole 25 is detachably fit-secured a plug, which protects the dislodgement of the roller 24. When this plug 27 is removed the roller 24 can be easily detached from the through-hole 25.

Abstract: An antenna rod, which is extendible and retractable, is moved up and down by a cable with a rack, and the cable is moved with rotation of a pinion gear. The rotational force of a DC motor is transferred to the pinion gear by a route of a worm, a worm wheel, gears, a damper gear, and a damper. The damper is a coil of resilient metal wire, and both ends of the coiled wire, respectively, engage stopping members, which are provided at the center portions of the damper gear and the pinion gear. When the pinion gear is at a standstill, the rotational energy of the damper gear is accumulated in the damper. The motor is rotated under control of a control circuit in response to the operation of a switch. The drive current for the motor is shut off by a detecting signal from a lock detector during the course of accumulating the rotational energy by the damper. The lead angle of the teeth of the worm is large so that the rotational energy stored in the damper is transferred to the motor.
