20110205067WALKING ASSIST DEVICE - A walking assist device which allays uneasiness felt by a user when a wearable device actively applies torque to a leg. A walking assist device comprises a controller, a headphone and a wearable device attached to left and right legs. The wearable device has a sensor that detects motion of the user's leg and a motor that applies torque to a joint of the user's leg. The controller controls the wearable device such that the joint angle of the user follows a target pattern which represents time-dependent changes of a target joint angle. The controller specifies a change timing at which a time-dependent change of the target joint angle in the target pattern meets a predetermined condition, and informs the user, before the specified change timing, that the change timing is arriving. The uneasiness felt by the user when an actuator actively applies torque to the leg joint is allayed by informing the user of the motion before the actuator performs that motion.08-25-2011

20100035752Honeycomb Structure For Slurry Coating - With the recent yearly increase in cell density, use of the same slurry as a conventional one for forcibly depositing a solid, e.g., alumina for supporting, on the surface of cell walls has come to arouse a trouble that the resultant coat layer is thick and cell clogging is more apt to occur. When a slurry whose viscosity has been reduced by reducing the binder amount is used, the slurry which has flowed into cells is discharged without leaving a solid adherent to the surface of the cell walls. Namely, it is difficult to secure a desired solid deposition amount. A honeycomb structure for slurry coating is provided which is made of a porous object, wherein the surface of cell walls formed in the structure has fine pores dispersedly formed therein and having a pore diameter of 2 μm or smaller. Preferably, the total volume of the fine pores is 0-0.17 ml, excluding 0 ml, per g of the structure.02-11-2010

20080294101Body-Insertable Apparatus and Manufacturing Method Thereof - A body-insertable apparatus which can make the volume smaller by simplifying a mechanism taking in or throwing out predetermined fluid is realized. The body-insertable apparatus has a configuration having, in a housing, a balloon member, a communication adjusting mechanism, a control circuit, and a power source part and forms a storage chamber by the balloon member and an outer circumferential member (sheet holding substrate and part of the housing) covering the outer surface of the balloon member. In the body-insertable apparatus, a first communication pipe communicated with the inner space of the balloon member and a second communication pipe communicated with the outer space are formed. The communication adjusting mechanism communicates the first communication pipe with the second communication pipe based on an electric current output from the control circuit. The inner space of the balloon member is communicated with the outside of the body-insertable apparatus. The outside fluid is flowed into the storage chamber via an inlet with the contracting operation of the balloon member.11-27-2008
