Abstract: Joint torque is estimated for a joint of a cyclist using a simple configuration. A joint torque computation system (10) includes a joint torque computation device (12), a detection section (14), an input section (16), and an output section (18). The joint torque computation device (12) includes a data acquisition section (122), a torque estimation section (124), and a change estimation section (126). The joint torque computation device (12) employs load data representing load applied to a pedal, skeletal data, and structural data to compute a change of joint torque when a position of a saddle has been displaced, and to output the saddle position to the output section (18). The change estimation section (126) uses plural estimated joint torque changes to decide a saddle position enabling the cyclist to develop their maximum power.

Abstract: A graph-drawing machine adapted to print and output numerical data in graph form when numerical data are inputted and a given graph-printing instruction is given. The maximum value or the minimum value of the scale is optionally set by the user in the drawing of the graph. The numerical data exceeding the maximum value or the minimum value are printed in a numeric format instead of being graphed. Incorrectly inputted data can be more easily identified because data which exceeds the present boundaries are printed in a numeric form.

Abstract: An electronic hand-held memory device is capable of containing character information and numerical information stored together as a pair. Either or both types of information may be outputted, and the numerical information may be used for calculation. Loading and fetching of character information and numeral information are performed upon actuation of keys. The desired key in effect acts as a memory key during a numeral information calculation mode. The desired key may serve as a constant memory key or a memory total key. When printing an output is desirable, the beginning of the character information is aligned with the most significant digit position and the end of the numeral information is aligned with the least significant digit position of a printer.

Abstract: A display device capable of selectively displaying numerical information or character information. During the mode wherein mainly characters are processed, a specific symbol (for example, a cursor symbol) is shifted digit by digit upon each actuation of a specific key (for example, a cursor key) and a character corresponding to the symbol display is also shifted. During the mode where numeral information is processed, on the other hand, numeral information or character information associated with said numeral information is selectively displayed upon actuation of the above specific key.
