Abstract: A restricting structure that restricts an allowable adjustment range of a backrest angle of a seatback is formed by a surface abutment structure of a bracket provided on the seatback, and an additional stopper provided on a seat cushion. The additional stopper is joined to a lower arm in a state positioned by a positioning hole in the additional stopper being fit onto a positioning pin that is integrated with the lower arm. A plurality of arrangement positions of the additional stopper are able to be selected by providing the positioning pin in a plurality of locations with respect to the lower arm along a path of a specific location along which additional stopper moves with respect to the lower arm, when the backrest angle of the seatback is changed while the additional stopper is surface abutted against, and temporarily fixed to, the bracket.

In an electric motor 100, a rotor 1 is divided into four rotor pieces 3, 4, 5, and 6 for an axial length of 2L of one group of the rotor core, and for example, the four rotor pieces 3, 4, 5, and 6 are ideally 0.29L, 0.71L, 0.71L, and 0.29L in axial length in the axial direction, and permanent magnets 2 of the rotor pieces 3, 4, 5, and 6 are arranged in the circumferential direction so that the phase differences of the electrical angle are 0, ?, 0, and ?. Further, when an effect is obtained even if the ideal axial length is changed, the tolerance of the aforementioned axial length is ±0.1L.

Abstract: A hybrid operation system that manipulates an object with the tip of a conduit inserted into said object comprising a conduit having inside multiple tubes that are inserted into the object, a driving mechanism that drives the multiple tubes, an analysis mechanism that analyses the condition of the object sensed by the tip of the conduit, a display that displays the analysis results of the analysis mechanism, and an input mechanism that outputs to the driving mechanism commands for operating the multiple tubes in response to the manipulation of the operator. The ends of the multiple tubes are detachably mounted on the driving mechanism and the input mechanism. In the field of medical treatment, examinations are performed with one probe for the initial examinee. Then, when the examination of the initial examinee is completed, the probe is detached from the system main body at the connecting members.

Abstract: The aggregation pattern of particles is determined by obtaining luminous intensity curves representative of the particle aggregation pattern, obtaining a first threshold face by cutting the curves with a plane positioned at a first given height, obtaining a second threshold face by cutting the curves with a plane positioned at a second given height and determining the particle aggregation pattern by calculating the ratio of the area of the first threshold face to the area of the second threshold face.
