  • Patent number: 11717736
    Abstract: Provided is a golf training apparatus that helps a golfer learn a swing with trunk rotation and limited excessive arm movement, which includes an attachment member configured to be detachably attached to a pants belt loop on the front and right side of a user's waist, a case to which the attachment member is fixed, and first and second pads attached to the case via first and second string-like members, respectively. A force in a direction of winding up the first string-like member inside the case is constantly applied on the first string-like member, and the same applies to the second string-like member. The user executes a practice swing with the first and second pad sandwiched under the armpits. If the user opens an armpit, the first or second pad is pulled by the first or second string-like member and then returns to a region near the case.

  • Patent number: 9843269
    Abstract: When power consumption of a load is smaller than a first threshold, a switch element of each of one or more circuits is made nonconductive to supply power from all of the one or more circuits to the load. When the power consumption of the load is larger than the first threshold, the switch element of at least one of the one or more circuits is made intermittently conductive to supply power from all of the one or more circuits to the load.

  • Patent number: 9184669
    Abstract: Provided is a technique of detecting not only a main DC voltage but also an auxiliary DC voltage to protect a main rectifier circuit and an auxiliary rectifier circuit. A main power supply circuit drives a load. A main rectifier circuit receives an AC voltage through a first switch to supply the main power supply circuit with a main DC voltage. The first switch is turned off when an overcurrent flows through the main power supply circuit or the load is an overload for the main power supply circuit. A control circuit is supplied with operating power from an auxiliary power supply circuit. An auxiliary rectifier circuit receives the AC voltage while bypassing the first switch to supply the auxiliary power supply circuit with an auxiliary DC voltage. A DC voltage detection circuit detects the main DC voltage and the auxiliary DC voltage.
