Abstract: The present invention facilitates adjustment of the strength of an elastic orthotic that assists the movement of an orthotics user by whom the elastic orthotic is worn. This calculation device for calculating the optimum elastic strength of an elastic includes a storage unit in which elastic strength or kinematic properties established through experiments in which a plurality of people wear elastic orthotics are stored in advance, and a mathematical optimization processing unit that calculates the optimal elastic strength on the basis of a prescribed evaluation index on the basis of the kinematic limitations of an orthotics user and the elastic strength or kinetic properties.

Abstract: It is desirable to reduce power consumption without reducing a function in an electronic apparatus operating in a plurality of modes different in power consumption from one another. A processor operates in a normal mode, in which power consumption is higher, of two modes different in power consumption from each other, and stops operation in a power saving mode, in which the power consumption is lower, of the two modes. A control section outputs a power saving mode control command instructing an increase or decrease of a supply electric power to a digital circuit different from the processor in the power saving mode. A power source managing integrated circuit increases or decreases the supply electric power to the digital circuit in accordance with the power saving mode control command, and outputs the increased or decreased supply electric power.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus and method that enables to reduce required power. In the signal processing apparatus, a RTC of a main chip and a RTC of a power supply chip are synchronized before power supply of the main chip is stopped, and the RTC of the main chip is synchronized with the time of the RTC of the power supply chip after the power supply of the main chip is restored. In this way, the RTC uses continuous time information before and after the stop. The present disclosure is capable of being applied to, for example, a GPS module in which a digital circuit includes a plurality of chips.

The control circuit controls a value of the input signal from signal cells that include signal cells to which the power is not supplied and that are not used in the test, to be a predetermined value.

Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus has: a radius identifying section configured to identify a radius representing a distance from an origin on an IQ plane of signal points each corresponding to a symbol obtained from a received signal modulated by adoption of an APSK modulation method; and a parameter outputting section configured to output a control parameter related to a demodulation or decoding process of the received signal on the basis of the identified radius.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intake manifold that improves the intake performance and has a reduced weight. The intake manifold includes a surge tank and intake pipes. Each intake pipe has an inlet port that is connected to the surge tank. The inlet ports are arranged along a flow direction of air drawn into the surge tank from the opening of the surge tank, and project into the surge tank along direction that intersects the flow direction. Each adjacent pair of the inlet ports are separated only by a single common pipe wall.
