  • Patent number: 11925854
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push-button, a force sense presentation section, and the push-button. The push-button moves between a first position and a second position when depressed by a finger of a user. The force sense presentation section presents a force sense to the push-button. The information processing apparatus determines, according to a prescribed force sense setting, the aspect of a force sense to be imparted to the push-button, and controls the force sense presentation section of the controller apparatus, according to the determination. Each time a predefined operation is performed, the information processing apparatus changes the force sense setting from a current force sense setting to a different force sense setting.

  • Patent number: 9445416
    Abstract: A base station sends, to a mobile station, first resource allocation information in accordance with a scheduling request from the mobile station. Furthermore, the base station sends, to the mobile station, second resource allocation information based on the buffer status that is reported from the mobile station by using the first resource allocation information. The base station includes a receiving unit and a processor. The receiving unit receives data sent from the mobile station by using the second resource allocation information. When the processor receives a scheduling request from the mobile station before the completion of the reception of data by an amount indicated by the buffer status reported from the mobile station and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processor performs control such that the processor sends the second resource allocation information to the mobile station without sending the first resource allocation information.

  • Patent number: 9302730
    Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle 1 includes a steering section 6 which steers a front wheel 4. The steering section includes a steering shaft link 13 which turns about a first steering axis 10 together with a second steering axis 11, a front-wheel support section 14 which turns the front wheel 4 about the second steering axis 11, and a first motor 15 which causes the steering shaft link 13 to turn. A caster angle ? based on the first steering axis 10 is positive or 0. A trail t1 based on the second steering axis 11 is positive. When the two-wheeled vehicle 1 is in a basic posture state on a ground surface 12, the intersection point P3 of the second steering axis 11 and the ground surface 12 lies in front of the intersection point P2 of the first steering axis 10 and the ground surface 12.

  • Patent number: 9277474
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a serving base station, a mobile station, and peripheral base stations. The mobile station communicates with the serving base station. The serving base station includes a sending unit. The sending unit in the serving base station sends, to the mobile station, a signal indicating that communication is going to be performed in cooperation with the peripheral base stations. The mobile station includes a sending unit. The sending unit in the mobile station broadcasts a predetermined request signal to the peripheral base stations in accordance with the reception of the signal. The peripheral base stations, which have received the predetermined request signal, each include a notifying unit. The notifying units individually notify the serving base station of selection information that is information on the peripheral base station that is going to communicate with the mobile station in cooperation with the serving base station.

  • Publication number: 20140374146
    Abstract: A metal nanonetwork includes metal nanostructures that are joined by metallic bond. The joined part between the metal nanostructures includes a fillet part. In the joined part between the metal nanostructures, the distance between the central axis of one metal nanostructure and the central axis of another metal nanostructure is smaller than the sum of the radii of both metal nanostructures. The metal nanostructure is a metal nanowire. A first method for producing the metal nanonetwork includes a process of forming an oxide film on the outermost surface of the metal nanostructure, and a process of reducing the oxide film at the joined parts of a plurality of the metal nanostructures to thereby join the metal nanostructures.
