Motion state monitoring system, training support system, motion state monitoring method, and program
Patent number: 11925458Abstract: A motion state monitoring system, a training support system, a motion state monitoring method, and a program capable of suitably managing measurement results according to an attaching direction of a sensor are provided. A motion state monitoring system according to the present disclosure monitors a motion state of a target part of a subject's body. The motion state monitoring system includes an acquisition unit, an attaching direction detection unit, and a control processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires sensing information of a sensor attached to the target part. The attaching direction detection unit detects an attaching direction of the sensor. The control processing unit outputs information related to the sensing information in association with the attaching direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Makoto Kobayashi, Toru Miyagawa, Issei Nakashima, Keisuke Suga, Masayuki Imaida, Manabu Yamamoto, Yohei Otaka, Masaki Katoh, Asuka Hirano, Taiki Yoshida -
Patent number: 10036461Abstract: A differential gear case is provided that includes a container housing of a differential gear, the container housing having on an outer surface thereof an annular flange that extends around an axis of rotation of the container housing, and one of two areas of the container housing that are separated by the annular flange being formed with an opening that is communicated with a containing space formed in the container housing. The area of the container housing that is formed with the opening is provided with a fixing portion used for fixing the differential gear case. The fixing portion includes two flat surfaces that are in parallel with a plane surface containing the axis of rotation of the container housing and arranged around the axis of rotation keeping a space therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshirou Shimosaka, Kiyohito Oyamada, Shoichi Tetsuka, Makoto Imaida

Patent number: 6089999Abstract: In a pulley arrangement of a belt-type continuously variable transmission, a ring member (6) integrated with a first cylinder member (3) is coupled to a second cylinder member (5) using splines (6d and 5c) to limit mutual movements of the first and second cylinder members and using snap ring (7) to limit the axial displacement therebetween in peripheral directions of the respective first and second cylinder members. The first cylinder member is slidably contacted on an outer peripheral surface of a hollow cylindrical portion of a second conical pulley component. The second cylinder member is fixed onto an outer peripheral surface of a shaft portion of a first conical pulley component.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignees: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Aichi Machine Industry Co.
