Abstract: Provided is an optical module comprising a substrate, a holder, and a spacer. An optical waveguide is formed in/on the substrate and end parts thereof are protruding from one surface of the substrate. The holder holds an optical fiber and exposes one end part of the optical fiber in such a manner that the one end part of the optical fiber can be optically connected to the end parts of the optical waveguide at a side of one surface of the holder. The spacer is held the one surface of the substrate and the one surface of the holder.

Abstract: A walking support robot is presented by the present disclosure. The walking support robot moves in accordance with a handle load while guiding a user to walk along a walking route. The walking support robot includes a body, a handle on the body, a sensor that senses a load applied to the handle, and a moving device that moves the walking support robot by controlling rotation of a rotating member in accordance with the load. Guide information is generated for guiding the user to walk along the walking route. Presented information is presented for guiding the user based on the guide information. A physical task is set by adjusting complexity of the walking route. A degree to which the user follows the walking route is calculated, and the physical task is adjusted based on the degree.

Abstract: A folding seat 1 is provided with a leg 4, the leg having a movable hinge portion 42a at the lower end thereof, the movable hinge portion is pivotally connected to a fixed hinge portion 61 on a vehicle body floor 5 so that the leg can tilt down forward to fold the seat on the vehicle body floor The covering structure for the leg 4 includes a leg cover 7 mounted on the leg to cover the leg front surface and the movable hinge portion, and a hinge cover 8 mounted on the vehicle body floor side to cover the fixed hinge portion. The hinge cover has engagement grooves 82 engaging with a movable hinge covering portion of the leg cover so as to allow pivoting of the movable hinge covering portion. The movable hinge covering portion is provided with an engagement edge 72a on the lateral portion thereof so as to be slidably under the inner periphery side of an inside edge 82a of the engagement groove.
