  • Patent number: 10192533
    Abstract: A voice generation device (10b) is configured to generate a voice corresponding to one or a plurality of characters designated in a pre-defined character string. A controller (10a) for the voice generation device is provided with a character selector (60a) configured to be operable by a user to designate the one or a plurality of characters in the character string, and a voice control operator (60b) configured to be operable by the user to control the state of the voice to be generated by the voice generation device. The controller (10a) is provided with a grip (G) suitable for being held with a hand of the user, and the character selector and the voice control operator are provided on the grip. The character selector and the voice control operator are provided on the grip at such positions as to be operable with different fingers of the user holding the grip.

  • Patent number: 7198564
    Abstract: A deboning system of meat for a small or intermediate processing factory in which the space is saved while reduction the cost by limiting the processing range of a work thereby limiting the processing functions to those of high necessity. The deboning system of meat comprises a shoulder blade boning station (11) having a specified interval from a charging station (10) and a humerus deboning station (12) having the same interval disposed sequentially and linearly at a constant interval on the downstream side of the charging station (10). A station (13) for discharging the humerus is disposed on the downstream side of the humerus deboning station (12) and a work is tact-carried while being hanged through fixed and movable carrying passages. The work is deboned during the carrying process, and deboned humerus is discharged from a final station (discharging station) (13).
