Abstract: An electric motor-assisted bicycle includes a vehicle body motion sensor to detect a change in an attitude of a vehicle body relative to a road surface, a torque sensor to detect a pedal force on a pedal, a motor to generate an assist force to be added to the pedal force, a motor controller configured or programmed to control the assist force applied by the motor depending on the pedal force, and a sharp-curve-traveling detector to detect that the electric motor-assisted bicycle is traveling along a sharp curve with the vehicle body tilted relative to its upright state to the left or the right. The motor controller is configured or programmed to control the assist force depending on the detection result from the sharp-curve-traveling detector.

Abstract: An electrically assisted bicycle assist force calculation method includes obtaining from a pedaling force sensor an instant pedaling force applied to a pedal, obtaining a crank advance angle of a crankshaft from an advance angle sensor having a resolution of less than 90°, and determining an assist force based on at least the instant pedaling force and the crank advance angle.

Abstract: An electric assist bicycle and a drive system therefor includes a controller that includes control modes in which different assist ratios are calculated as control modes of the electric motor, and that stores a mode change condition that determines a change of the control mode. The controller performs the mode change when a pedal is located between an angular position that follows by 45 degrees a lowermost position of a locus of the pedal and an angular position that precedes by 45 degrees the lowermost position. Accordingly, the mode change is performed when the pedaling force exerted by a rider is relatively low such that the rider does not feel uncomfortable due to a rapid change of the load applied to the rider.

Abstract: A surgical system according to one or more embodiments may include: manipulators respectively supporting an endoscope and surgical instruments; a remote control apparatus including a display device to display an image captured by the endoscope, operation handles to operate the surgical instruments respectively, and foot pedals; and a control apparatus. The foot pedals include first and second foot pedals for the surgical instruments, and a third foot pedal for the endoscope. The control apparatus displays a graphical user interface, overlapped with the image captured by the endoscope, on the display device, the graphical user interface including first to third areas to display information on the surgical instruments and the endoscope. The control apparatus changes, when a foot of an operator is detected at an operation preparation position of one of the foot pedals, a display form of corresponding one of the first to third areas.

Abstract: An information processing terminal displays a display setting screen on a touch panel on the basis of display setting information acquired from a wearable apparatus. Next, the information processing terminal generates display setting change information on the basis of a user's change operation on the display setting screen displayed on the touch panel. The information processing terminal transmits the display setting change information to the wearable apparatus from the information processing terminal.
