Abstract: The present invention relates to an indicator device capable of displaying information representative of time lapsed since a user initiated action or for indicating when it took place. More specifically, a timer device is provided comprising contact means (35) which can be operated between a first condition and a second condition, time means (31), means for storing a first time stamp, a second time stamp, and a first time-period value. The timer device further comprises control means (31) adapted for setting a first time in response to the contact means being operated between the first condition and the second condition, setting a second time stamp in response to the contact means being operated between the second condition and the first condition. The control means is further adapted for calculating the time elapsed between the first and second time stamp, comparing the elapsed time with the first time-period value, and performing a first control action if the elapsed time is greater than the first time-period value. The control action may be any desirable action, such as resetting and starting a stop watch or setting a time stamp. In a preferred embodiment a device for use by a patient for medical self tretment is provided, comprising a first device portion (10) for performing an operation, and a second device portion (20) comprising a timer device in accordance with the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: It is possible to simultaneously identify the sound coming direction from a sound source in all directions and estimate the sound intensity of the sound source. A plurality of microphones (11) are arranged on the surface of a baffle (10) of a shape such as a sphere and polyhedron so that sound from all directions are acquired. A calculation device (40) calculates the amplitude characteristic and the phase characteristic of acoustic signals acquired by the microphones (11). The signal information and information on sound field analysis around the baffle are integrated and calculation to emphasize a sound coming from a particular direction is performed for all the directions so as to identify the sound coming direction from a sound source. According to these calculation results and the distance input by an input device (70), it is possible to estimate the sound intensity of the sound source at a plurality of portions generated at the sound source or boundary surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 摩擦トルク計算に用いる角速度として、指令値と実測値のいずれかを適宜選択することにより、角速度指令に従って能動的に動作する場合と、外力に押されて受動的に動作する場合の両方で常に摩擦補償が有効にすることができる。また、衝突検出後、モータ回転方向と衝突方向が逆の場合は、位置制御から電流制御に切り換え、モータ回転と逆方向のトルクをモータで発生させることによりモータ回転速度を減速し、衝突エネルギーを緩和する。その後、モータ回転速度が設定値以下になれば、柔軟制御に切り換え、衝突で生じた減速機等での歪みを解消する。一方、モータ回転方向と衝突方向が同じ場合は、電流制御を介さずに、位置制御から直接、柔軟制御に切り換える。衝突力に倣って動作させることにより、衝突トルクを緩和することができる。
