Abstract: A remote surgery supporting system and a method thereof 
for presenting realism control data generated by realism 
control data generating means 101 from image data from work 
environment data detecting means 104 and measurement data 
processing means 118 and from force and proximity data. While 
seeing this presentation, the surgical operator inputs actions 
through action command inputting means 114 and following to that, 
diseased tissue manipulating means 102 executes a work to a 
diseased part 125. Manipulation force of each surgical 
operator from manipulation command generating means 103 and 
force reflection from the diseased part 125 are combined and 
presented to the action command inputting means 114. Thereby, 
a plulality of surgical operators can perform the surgerical 
operation while seeing the realism control data and sensing the 
manipulation force of other surgical operators and the force 
reflection from the diseased part. Thus, a master/slave type 
remote surgery supporting system which allows a plurality of 
surgical operators to perform a surgical operation which 
requires many degrees of freedom can be provided.

Abstract: A motor driving apparatus which makes it possible
to continue a suppressed power supply to an electric motor
even when a detected value (Id) of a current flowing to an
H-bridge circuit indicates abnormality, to thereby prevent
occurrence of shock in a system in which the motor is
employed as a drive source. The apparatus includes a current
detecting means (12) for detecting an electric current (I)
flowing to an H-bridge circuit (1), and a control means (20)
which includes an abnormality decision means (24) for

inserted at the side of the power supply source (3) and the
ground (GND), respectively, are driven under the PWM control.

Abstract: A motor having windings normally energizable by electric
power from an AC power supply is stopped in case of an
emergency such as a failure of the AC power supply. The motor
has a rotor rotatably supported by magnetic bearings out of
contact therewith. The windings of the motor are normally
energized by a motor driver with the electric power from the AC
power supply. When the AC power supply fails, a battery power
supply supplies electric power to the windings of the motor to
brake the rotor and also to the magnetic bearings to
continuously operate the magnetic bearings. A switching
controller which includes timers and logic circuit elements
controls times to supply the electric power from the battery
power supply to the windings of the motor and the magnetic
bearings. The switching controller has timers for controlling
the times.

Abstract: A connection pin (6, 20) is used to electrically
connect a first pattern (12, 14) and a corresponding second
pattern (13, 15) of at least one set of patterns (12,13)
formed in a matrix board (10) and crossing one over the
other. The connection pin (6, 20) is inserted into a
through-hole (11) formed in the matrix board (10). The
through-hole (11) extends through the first and second
patterns at an intersection of the first and second
patterns. The connection pin (6, 20) includes a fitting
portion (3), abutting portion (5), and electrical conductor
(1, 2) between the fitting portion (3) and abutting portion.
The conductor (1, 2) generally extends along the through-hole
(11) and has a pair of resiliently deformable ends (1c-1f).
One deformable end is mounted to the fitting portion
(3) and the other deformable end is mounted to the abutting
portion (5). When the connection pin (6) is inserted into
the through-hole (11), the abutting portion (5, 5b) abuts
the extreme end of the through-hole (11). A further
insertion of the connection pin (6) causes the fitting and
abutting portions (3, 5) to move toward each other. This
causes the conductor (1, 2) to resiliently deform so that
the conductor (1, 2) laterally extends into electrical
contact with the first and second patterns (12 13). The
connection pin (6) may include a plurality of conductors (1,
2) with an insulating material between adjacent conductors
in order to accomplish electrical connection between the
first and second patterns of a plurality of sets of patterns
(12,13,14,15).

Abstract: A mixer/ejector suppressor is disclosed for reducing the noise level created by the
exhaust flows in gas turbines. In the preferred embodiment, the suppressor comprises a mixing
ring of alternating lobes attached to the engine's tailpipe; an ejector shroud mounted onto the
mixing ring; and a plurality of arcuate gaps, between the mixing ring and ejector shroud, that
permit ambient air to be entrained into the shroud. The preferred mixing ring has ten curved
lobes of alternating designs. Five of the mixing lobes are shallow, with contours similar to those
of mixing lobes in an earlier TSMEC version, disclosed in a related U.S. utility patent
application, Serial No. 08/729,571. The other five lobes are much longer, and they are designed
to penetrate deeply into the engine's hot core flow. Together, the ten lobes rapidly mix (mostly
at supersonic conditions) the engine exhaust flows with secondary ambient air inside the shroud.
The lobes thereby increase the spread rate of the exhaust jet, dissipate its velocity and greatly
decrease the core length of the exhaust jet. Hence, noise levels are reduced, which enable older
engines to meet new federal noise regulations, known as "Stage 3", at static and takeoff
conditions.
