  • Patent number: 11531323
    Abstract: Provided is a numerical control system of an industrial machine that makes it possible to eliminate overshoot occurred at the time of stopping, thereby preventing interference of the machine, for example, in a case in which the torque of a motor such as a servomotor used in a feed axis of a machine tool is limited by a command unit of a CNC. A numerical control system of an industrial machine includes a command unit and a control unit configured to control driving of a motor of the industrial machine in accordance with a command from the command unit, and to perform position control by receiving a command of an end point position from the command unit or without receiving a command of the end point position from the command unit, and the control unit includes an in-deceleration torque limit release unit that, in a case of performing torque limitation of the motor, releases the torque limitation only during deceleration.

  • Patent number: 6896308
    Abstract: A vehicle storage box mounting structure is configured to reduce the discomfort felt by the passenger when the passenger's knees hit the storage box during a front collision without significantly reducing the strength and rigidity of the slide rails overall. The vehicle storage box mounting structure serves to mount a storage box to a vehicle in such a manner that the storage box can be moved between two positions, a stored position and a pulled out position, by slide rails provided on both sides of the storage box. The vehicle storage box mounting structure is configured such that at least a portion of the slide rails can be made to swing in response to an input force to the storage box from a passenger during a front collision.

  • Patent number: 5674263
    Abstract: An optic nerve image output device and method for modulating image signals output by an image output device with low-frequency square waves output by a square wave output device and outputting this modulated output at the portion acted upon by optic nerve at the head on the human body side with an output device. If low-frequency square wave signals are applied to the portion acted upon by optic nerve at the head on the human body, the optic nerve can visually feel a square screen by light and scanning lines on that screen. For that reason, if video signals are applied after modification with such low-frequency square wave signals, an image is directly felt by the optic nerve, making it possible for not only healthy persons but also blind persons to recognize the image and thus also making it possible to use the human body as a display.
