In order to provide a walking assistance device capable of favorably providing an assisting force for maintaining the upright posture while reducing the sense of pressure when worn by the user, a hip support member (1) of the walking assisting device, which comprises 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, is provided with: a back support (4) equipped with pads (18, 19, 20) for respectively abutting an intermediate portion between right and left erector spinae muscles, lateral outer sides of the spinae muscles and right and left iliac crests; and a belt (5) connected to the back support for tightening a lower part of the rectus abdominis muscle. In this way, a supporting force can be provided to the lumbar vertebrae to steadily keep the upright posture while reducing a resistance to a bending movement of the waist caused by the support member. Further, the drive torque from the assisting force generator can be supported by the whole hip portion and this can contribute to preventing inadvertent move of the support member.

A delay element generates a delayed clock signal which transitions with a delay from a rising (or falling) of a reference clock signal by a delay amount determined based on an output of a loop filter. A signal generation circuit generates two signals which complementarily change according to rising and falling of the reference clock signal and a transition of the delayed clock signal. A charge pump circuit performs on the loop filter, according to these two signals, a push (or pull) operation during an interval extending from a rising (or falling) of the reference clock signal to the transition of the delayed clock signal and a pull (or push) operation during an interval extending from the transition of the delayed clock signal to a falling (or rising) of the reference clock signal.

In walking assistance device, a force detector (21) is provided between thigh retaining member (9) that directly retain the thigh of the user and a thigh support member (2) that is actuated by an actuator (TA1) provided in hip coupling portion. Thereby, the load acting on the hip coupling portion can be accurately detected, and the output of the force detector can be favorably used for the purpose of controlling the actuator so as to minimize the force that is applied to the thigh of the user. In particular, to the end of providing a suitably rigidity to the thigh retaining member so that the force produced by the actuator may be evenly applied to the entire thigh, and facilitating the effort required for the wearer to wear the walking assistance device, the thigh retaining member comprises a base portion (9a) connected to the thigh support member and two pairs of resilient arms (9b, 9c) extending laterally from either side of the base portion so that the thigh retaining member generally defines a shape of letter-C in plan view.

A pattern data producing device incorporated in a sewing machine which comprises a sewing mechanism including a needle swing mechanism and a display and in which the sewing mechanism is operated so that a pattern sewing can be carried out, thereby producing pattern data. The pattern data producing device includes a touch panel mounted on an outer surface of the display so as to be capable of detecting a location of touch, a pen-shaped pointing device inputting and instructing on the touch panel a plurality of points corresponding to a plurality of needle drop points forming a pattern, a pattern data producing unit which obtains location data of needle drop points from the input points to produce pattern data, and a display data producing unit which produces, from the location data of needle drop points, display data for displaying a configuration of the pattern on the display.
摘要:
An information output apparatus which is capable of limiting a range for outputting information based on a position. A position information acquiring section acquires first position information, a message receiving section receives information including second position information, and a message transferring section transfers the received information. The message transferring section transfers the received information when the first position information acquired by the position information acquiring section falls within a predetermined range of the second position information received by the message receiving section.
摘要:
A sewing pattern display device including a display for displaying a plurality of options relating to sewing; a transparent touch panel disposed adjacent to the display and capable of detecting a position where the touch panel is pressed; and a control device for determining, based on detection by the touch panel, a position of the display corresponding to a pressed position of the touch panel and, when the touch panel is pressed to simultaneously indicate more than one of the options, processing an option different from the indicated options.

An embroidery data generating apparatus that includes a pattern data acquisition device that acquires pattern data, an area identification device that identifies a base area in which a plurality of base stitches including a plurality of intersecting portions are to be formed, each of the intersecting portions being a portion at which two base stitches extending in different directions intersect, a first generating device that generates first sewing data to be used to sew the base stitches in the base area, a sewing data acquisition device that acquires second sewing data to be used to sew a pattern represented by the pattern data in an area including at least a part of the base area, and an embroidery data generating device that generates embroidery data including the first sewing data and the second sewing data.
摘要:
A motion assisting device or the like, wherein the asymmetry degree of the motion patterns of human limbs is evaluated according to the variation patterns of the values of a pair of posture variables which vary with the postures in the respective same locations of the limbs. Furthermore, the evaluation result of the degree of the asymmetry can be utilized as the foundation of the motion control of the actuator of the motion assisting device. As a result, the motion of the human limbs can be assisted by the motion assisting device in such a manner that the balance of the motion patterns of the limbs is adjusted.
