Publication number: 20190374118Abstract: In a method for measuring a biometric signal of a subject, the biometric signal is repeatedly detected using a biometric sensor and a noise intensity of noise contaminating the detected biometric signal is detected. Further, in the method, a signal intensity of the detected biometric signal is adjusted if the signal intensity meets an intensity change condition. If the detected noise intensity is greater than a noise threshold, adjustment of the signal intensity is withheld.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Tsuyoshi NAKAGAWA, Masanobu SUZUKI, Teruhiko KAMEOKA

Patent number: 10293764Abstract: A resin molded body (10) includes a metal attachment member (22) and an extension part (33, 34) extending from the resin molded body. At least one part of the metal attachment member (22) is exposed in a mounting surface (20a) of the resin molded body. The mounting surface (20a) is to be facing to the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to a mounting target. At least one part of the extension part (33, 34) is protruded outside the mounting surface. A protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part (33, 34) from the mounting surface is larger than a protrusion length of the metal attachment member (22) from the mounting surface. The at least one part is configured to allow deforming in a direction away from the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshimichi Yamao, Masayoshi Ogawa, Masanobu Suzuki

Patent number: 9963168Abstract: Provided is a vehicle which, when a pair of left and right wheels are displaced with respect to the vehicle body due to the difference in drive force between the wheels, the two wheels are reliably displaced vertically in opposite directions such that neither wheel is disproportionately displaced and such that both wheels are steered during said displacement of both wheels vertically in opposite directions. The pair of left and right front wheels (3) are rotatably supported by a front wheel support member (29). An electric motor (25) applies drive torque to the front wheels (3) individually. A vehicle body frame (7) supports the front wheel support member (29) to allow rotation about a forwardly inclined steering axis (Lf). By allowing rotation of the front wheel support member (29) about the steering axis (Lf), the front wheels (3) are displaced relatively to one another vertically in opposite directions with respect to the vehicle body frame (7) and the front wheels (3) are steered.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: SEARCHWARE KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masanobu Suzuki
