A sewing machine that is capable of sewing an embroidery pattern on a work cloth includes a storage device that stores embroidery data to identify a shape of the embroidery pattern and reference line data to identify a pattern position and a pattern angle. The sewing machine also includes an imaging device that captures an image of the work cloth onto which a marker is affixed, and a detection device that detects a marker position and a marker angle based on information of the image captured by the imaging device. The sewing machine further includes a conversion device that converts the embroidery data based on the pattern position, the pattern angle, the marker position, and the marker angle. The sewing machine further includes a sewing control device that controls sewing of the embroidery pattern based on the embroidery data obtained after conversion.

In a belt buckle device including a tongue piece (75, 76; 210; 310) connected to an end of a belt extending in a longitudinal direction and a hook member (68, 70; 220; 320) configured to be selectively connected to the tongue piece by engaging a first lateral bar of the tongue piece in a hook opening (111; 226; 326) defined by a hook portion (71, 72; 225; 324) thereof, a longitudinal dimension (B) between the free end of the tongue piece and a base end side of the first lateral bar is substantially equal to or smaller than a width (A) of the entrance of the hook opening, and the effective thickness (C) of the first lateral bar is greater than the width (A) of the entrance of the hook opening. Thus, the first lateral bar is held inside the hook opening as long as the tongue piece is kept in a flat position in a reliable manner. In particular, the first lateral bar can be freely introduced into the hook opening simply by raising the base end of the tongue piece while the first lateral bar is applied to the entrance of the hook opening so that the belt buckle device can be readily fastened even when the belt buckle device cannot be viewed from a proper viewing angle. Also, the belt buckle device can be readily fastened with a minimum dexterity requirement and very quickly.

In a femoral support member 3 for a walking assistance device, the walking assistance device includes a power actuator (actuator 4) having a drive shaft and secured to a hip region of a wearer, and the femoral support member secures a free end of an assist force transmitting arm 5 extending from the drive shaft of the power actuator to a femoral region of the wearer. The present invention is characterized in that the femoral support member engages the femoral region of the wearer via a pad 23 provided with friction reducing means. The fact that the femoral region of the wearer is allowed to make a sliding contact with the femoral support member accommodates the relative movement between the support member and body owing to the disagreement between the axis of body movement (center of an articulate joint) and the point at which the power actuator/power transmitting arm engages the wearer's body. Therefore, the present invention is highly effective in minimizing the discomfort to the wearer.

A system for managing exercise of an animal such as a human being so that the animal can be trained to move with an appropriate scale and rhythm while harmonizing the motion of the animal with the operations of two devices which induce the motion of the animal in different manners, is provided. According to the exercise management system (1) of the present invention, the speed of the walking motion of the user is adjusted by an operation of a treadmill (first motion induction device) (10). The user's walking motion is induced with the motion scale being adjusted with a rhythm harmonized with the motion rhythm of the animal by an operation of a walking motion induction device (second motion induction device) (20). At this time, the operation of the walking motion induction device (20) is controlled based on the walking speed v (walking rate p, as required). Accordingly, it is possible to train the user so that the user walks with an appropriate scale and rhythm, while realizing harmonization between the walking motion of the user, the operation of the treadmill (10), and the operation of the walking motion induction device (20).

A resynchronization circuit possesses a sufficient migration margin even when the speed of a clock signal used for outputting data is increased, so that the data transfer speed can be increased. In the resynchronization circuit, a determination circuit holds a signal which is determined according to the phase difference between a determination signal and a reference clock signal (determination result). In a synchronization circuit block, a received data signal is held in synchronization with a strobe signal. Then, the received data signal is held in synchronization with a clock signal which has the same frequency as that of the reference clock signal and has a phase determined according to the determination result and output from the resynchronization circuit.

In order to provide a walking assistance device that can improve the force transmission efficiency from the assisting force generator disposed at a position corresponding to a hip joint to the leg while reducing the load upon the user's body, there is provided a walking assistance device comprising an assisting force generator (hip joint actuator 10) disposed at least on a side of a hip joint to provide an assisting force to a movement of a lower limb, comprising: a hip support member (1) for securely mounting the assisting force generator on the side of the hip joint; a lower leg support member (2) worn on a lower leg portion; and a force transmitting member (link bar 25) connecting the assisting force generator and the lower leg support member. In this way, the torque around the hip joint generated by the assisting force generator can be transmitted to the parts lower than the knee, and this can reduce an amount of force applied to the point of application of force on the body compared with the case where the torque is applied directly upon the thigh.

A charge pumping circuit includes a first switch for controlling one of push and pull operations in accordance with a first control signal; a current mirror circuit constructed from transistors each having a different polarity from the first switch; a second switch for controlling current input to the current mirror circuit in accordance with a second control signal, the second switch being constructed from a transistor having the same characteristic as a transistor used for constructing the first switch; a first MOS capacitor one end of which is connected to an input side of the current mirror circuit; a second MOS capacitor receiving, at one end thereof, a current concerned with the push and pull operations; and a voltage buffer connected to the first and second MOS capacitors. The other of the push and pull operations is performed with an output current of the current mirror circuit.

In a walking assistance device that includes a pelvis support member adapted to be worn around a hip of a wearer and at least one actuator having a base end mounted on the pelvis support member and a free end engaging a thigh of the wearer, the pelvis support member comprises a substantially U-shaped base portion having a relatively high rigidity and adapted to be worn around the hip of the wearer and a pair of flaps having a relatively high resilient flexibility and extending from either end of the base portion toward each other; free ends of the flaps defining a gap smaller than a width of the hip of the wearer. Therefore, the wearer can bend the flaps outward so as to define a gap wide enough to pass the hip of the wearer, and once the wearer is fit into the pelvis support member, the flaps are allowed to return to their original shape owing to their resiliency, and engage the front side part of the hip of the wearer. The base portion, on the other hand, may be given with an adequate rigidity to support the actuator without any problem.
