  • Patent number: 11929781
    Abstract: An objective is to provide a terminal device, a communication method, and a communication system in which the time taken by connection operations/authentication operations does not increase proportionally with the pattern length, even if the transmitting side and the receiving side are not synchronized. A terminal device, a communication method, and a communication system according to the present invention create n pieces of signal information (n-bit patterns) by sequentially shifting each bit of a single piece of received signal information (n-bit pattern) one bit at a time. Through the above, signal information time-shifted by one bit each is obtained. Thus, even if the transmitting side and the receiving side are not synchronized, one of the n pieces of signal information is a signal synchronized with the transmitting side. Thereafter, the signal synchronized with the transmitting side can be detected by a brute-force calculation with the patterns (ID information) in the list.

  • Patent number: 10736474
    Abstract: A toilet seat device includes a main part, a toilet seat, a load sensor, a controller, and a memory. The toilet seat includes a seating part where a user is seated, and a support leg part supporting a load applied to the seating part. The load sensor is provided in the support leg part and detects the load applied to the support leg part. The controller performs at least a body weight measurement of the user based on a detection result of the load sensor. The controller includes a register mode and a normal-use mode in the body weight measurement. The register mode includes determining an estimated value for estimating the total body weight of the user from the seated load. The normal-use mode includes estimating a load value relating to the total body weight of the user based on the estimated value.

  • Patent number: 6801856
    Abstract: To determine a gas status (wind direction, wind speed), which is detailed in terms of space and time, from meteorological observation data, such as meteorological GPV, which are rough in terms of space and time, initial conditions and boundary conditions set based on the meteorological observation data are incorporated into differential equations for analysis of atmospheric phenomena, and computations are performed by a parallel computer 11. For the computations, a computation period is divided, for example, into four parts. Computations for the respective divisional computation periods are allocated to four processing units CPU's #1˜#4 and performed simultaneously and parallelly. The results of the computations by the processing units CPU's #1˜#4 are combined, whereby the gas status (wind direction, wind speed) detailed in terms of space and time during the entire computation period can be determined.
