  • Patent number: 8858397
    Abstract: A training machine for enabling the exerciser to exercise under a load appropriate for the individual exercise capability and physical function of the exerciser. The exerciser (E) enters a desired velocity-load characteristic into a load characteristic input device (7), and the velocity-load characteristic is stored in the load characteristic memory device (8). A load instruction value is determined according to the velocity-load characteristic and to the velocity inputted from a velocity calculation means (6) into the load characteristic memory device (8) and transmitted to a control means (1). The control means (1) rotates a servomotor (2) with a torque instruction value corresponding to the load instruction value. A movement mechanism (3) converts the rotation into linear movement to move a movable unit (4). With this, the exerciser can carry out training of reciprocal movement.

  • Patent number: 8337364
    Abstract: A training support system (S) allows an exerciser to practice training exercises safely and effectively with high motivation. The training support system (S) comprises a display means (4) which conducts display relating to training for the exerciser who uses a training machine (1) for muscle training, and a controller (3). The controller (3) allows dynamic display of reference motion and training motion on the display means (4) and variation of the display on the display means (4) according to the difference between the reference motion and the training motion.

  • Patent number: 7870663
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a multilayer wiring board, by which interlayer connection is efficiently performed and a non-penetrating hole having a hollow structure or a through hole can be formed at the same time without damaging a plated portion on the inner wall of the through hole. A first printed board (1) is provided with a wiring, which has a wiring section and a bump mounting pad (14), and a substrate section. The method is provided with a step of forming a solder bump (3) on at least a bump mounting pad on the first printed board or a pad section of a second printed board (2) having the pad section (15) by using a solder paste, and a step of bonding the first printed board and the second printed board in layers by having an insulating adhesive (4) between the first printed board and the second printed board and electrically connecting the first printed board with the second printed board.

  • Patent number: 7399021
    Abstract: A structure of a door beam arranged inside a main body of a door in a vehicle. The door beam is press-molded, a recessed groove part is formed in the door beam along its extending direction, and an end of the groove part protrudes outward from an end of the door beam in the extending direction. In the groove part, an end part may have a deeper groove in comparison with a groove in a central part along the extending direction, or a plurality of groove lines may be formed in a central part along the extending direction, and they may be gradually transformed into a single groove in an end part. Preferably, the groove part protrudes outward in the extending direction, from a joint part of the door beam, which is provided for joining said end of the door beam to the main body of the door.

  • Patent number: 7165875
    Abstract: The present invention prevents a defective display attributed to a non-uniform gap between a display element and a backlight which is caused by a phenomenon that an inner wall of a mold casing is shaved off by an end periphery of the display element and a shaved-off debris remains between the casing and the display element. Guide projections are integrally formed on an inner wall of a picture-frame-like portion of the mold casing and, at the same time, a gap which accommodates the shaved-off debris is formed between the guide projection and a bottom portion of the mold casing.

  • Patent number: 4244322
    Abstract: A developing apparatus includes a cylindrical drum having a photosensitive layer provided around the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a magnetic roller mounted within a receptacle and having permanent magnets oriented in a body thereof and a rotating cylindrical sleeve provided on the outer peripheral surface of the body thereof. The receptacle holds a developer mixture including powdered iron and toner and it is opened to provide a magnetic brush exposure window where the magnetic roller and cylindrical drum face each other with a gap left therebetween. The magnetic roller continuously supplies the developer mixture in the form of a magnetic brush toward the gap between the magnetic roller and the cylindrical drum. A doctor blade is attached to the lowest edge portion of the exposure window to restrict the thickness of the magnetic brush.
