Title: Electric-circuit-containing box
Inventor: KAKUNO HIDEYO
IPC: H02B1/28
Filed: 2005-10-18
Abstract: In an electric-circuit-containing box including an upper case having a side provided with a hole and a lower case having a side provided with a projection to be fitted in the hole, moisture is prevented from entering the box from the hole of the upper case by a capillary phenomenon. A recess separate from an inside surface of an upper case is provided around a projection of a side of a lower case. Thus, a specified interval is ensured between the periphery of the projection of the side of the lower case and the hole of the upper case.  Accordingly, even if moisture attached to an upper part of the upper case flows to the vicinity of the hole 1b along an outside surface of the upper case, there does not occur a state that the moisture passes through between both the cases from the hole by the capillary phenomenon and enters inner spaces of both the cases and in which a board and electronic parts are contained.

IPC: A63B23/12
Filed: 2004-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method evaluate the power of a muscle or a muscle group by initializing a resistance element (82L, 82R) to a first resistance level. An engagement assembly (40L, 40R) coupled to the resistance element (82L, 82R) is moved at a highest achievable velocity through an exercise stroke while a representative velocity at which the engagement assembly (40L, 40R) is moved through the exercise stroke is measured. At the completion of the exercise stroke, the resistance level of the resistance element (82L, 82R) is increased and the exercise stroke is repeated. The resistance level is increased until the resistance level is sufficient to preclude moving the engagement assembly (40L, 40R) through a complete exercise stroke. The power for each exercise stroke, the maximum power and the velocity and resistance at which the maximum power is produced are calculated based on the resistance level for each exercise stroke and the representative velocity for each exercise stroke.
