YOSHINARI NISHIMURA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10272243
    Abstract: A control device for an electrical stimulation apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a control section that adjusts an output of an electrode and communicates with an angular velocity detector, the electrode giving electrical stimulation to a predetermined part of a body doing a pedaling exercise by rotating a crank, the predetermined part being at least one of a leg and an arm, the angular velocity detector detecting an angular velocity of the predetermined part, the angular velocity being accompanied by an operation of the predetermined part during the pedaling exercise. The control section adjusts, according to a result of the detection in the angular velocity detector, an output timing of the electrical stimulation of the electrode such that the electrode gives electrical stimulation to the predetermined part when a state of the operation of the predetermined part during the pedaling exercise is a predetermined operation state.

  • Publication number: 20180056060
    Abstract: A control device for an electrical stimulation apparatus in the present disclosure includes a control section that adjusts an output of an electrode. The electrode gives electrical stimulation to a predetermined part of a body doing a pedaling exercise. The predetermined part is at least one of a leg and an arm. The control section adjusts the output of the electrode in such a way that the electrical stimulation is given to the predetermined part in relation to an exercise unit of the pedaling exercise. Furthermore, the control section adjusts strength of the electrical stimulation related to the exercise unit, in accordance with an amount of a physical activity of the body during the pedaling exercise. In this way, electrical stimulation can be given to a predetermined part in a variable manner during the pedaling exercise.
