  • Publication number: 20240115146
    Abstract: A measuring device includes a first space for pressurizing a pressurization target and a second space independent of the first space. The measuring device includes a first exhaust valve closing or opening a communication port communicating the first space with another space. An open/closed state of the first exhaust valve changes in accordance with a pressure difference between the first space and the second space.

  • Publication number: 20240108955
    Abstract: A fitting device for selecting a golf club suitable for a golfer comprises: an acquisition part that acquires measurement values obtained by measuring a golfer's swing motion of a first golf club with a measuring device; and a calculation part that calculates a swing index related to the swing motion based on the measurement values; a determination part that determines, based on the swing index, a second optimum characteristic index indicating characteristics of a shaft for a second golf club different from the first golf club; and a selection part that selects at least a shaft for the second golf club that matches the second optimum characteristic index.

  • Publication number: 20240084793
    Abstract: A pump system contains a pair of pumps each of which contains a vibration actuator vibrated by electromagnetic drive and can discharge fluid due to drive of the vibration actuator. The pump system has a vibration suppression mode in which the pair of the pumps are driven so that vibration of the vibration actuators of the pair of pumps is cancelled each other and a vibration generation mode in which the pair of the pumps are driven so that the vibration of the vibration actuators of the pair of pumps is superimposed with each other.

  • Patent number: 11898547
    Abstract: A pump contains a sealed chamber, a movable wall for changing a volume of the sealed chamber, and a vibration actuator which can be electromagnetically driven for displacing the movable wall to discharge fluid in the sealed chamber to an outside of the sealed chamber. Further, three axes perpendicular to each other are respectively defined as an X axis, a Y axis, and a Z axis. When a direction along the X axis is defined as an X axis direction, a direction along the Y axis is defined as a Y axis direction, and a direction along the Z axis direction is defined as a Z axis direction, an outer shape of the pump is a concave shape in a planar view from the Y axis direction.
