Rotating body load measuring device

The present invention includes a shaft that protrudes further toward a lower spindle side than an upper rim and includes a plurality of engagement grooves arranged in an up-down direction at an outer periphery of a lower end accommodated in a hollow portion of the lower spindle; a shaft support part that rotatably supports an upper end of the shaft; an engagement part that is accommodated within the hollow portion and is engaged with any one engagement groove of the plurality of engagement grooves; a first elevating part that is configured to integrally move the upper spindle, the shaft, and the shaft support part in the up-down direction; and a second elevating part that adjusts the length of the shaft protruding below the upper rim by changing the distance between the shaft support part and the upper spindle.

Tire holding mechanism and tire test device

A rotating body load measuring device according to the present invention includes: a first support section which supports one end portion of a shaft body, which protrudes from one end face of a rotating body, so as to be immovable in a first direction and a second direction along a central axis; a second support section which supports the other end portion of the shaft body, which protrudes from the other end face of the rotating body, so as to be immovable in the first direction and movable in the second direction; and a measuring part capable of measuring a force acting in the first direction on at least one of the first support section and the second support section from the shaft body and capable of measuring a force acting in the second direction on the first support section from the shaft body.

A mobile device system that includes left and right earphones, and a mobile device connectable to the left and right earphones. Each of the left and right earphones includes at least one of an acceleration sensor and a geomagnetic sensor. The mobile device includes a controller that monitors a wearing state of the individual left and right earphones by a user on a basis of output from the least one of the acceleration sensors and the geomagnetic sensors, and controls a behavior of the mobile device connected to the left and right earphones according to the monitored wearing state of the left and right earphones by the user.

Control method of mobile terminal apparatus

In a tire removal processing, a clamping step and a tire removing step are executed. In the clamping step, a tire is clamped by an upper support and a lower support by bringing the lower support into contact with a lower side wall of the tire in a state where a lower rim is fitted in the tire and the upper support is in contact with an upper side wall of the tire. In the tire removing step, the tire is detached from the lower rim by relatively moving the lower rim vertically downward with respect to a lower support while the clamping step is maintained.

An spatial image display apparatus and method for displaying a spatial image in an aerial space, sensing an object traversing the spatial image, calculating the position of the object's effective centroid, and performing an input operation is disclosed. The spatial image display apparatus detects distances from the object's surface thrust into the aerial display to more precisely determine the position on the spatial image at which the user intends to indicate.

Spatial image display apparatus and spatial image display method

Aspects of the disclosure provide a radio transmitting device that includes a memory, a controller and a wireless communication processing circuit. The memory is configured to store correction data for correcting an azimuth angle detected by a device in a surrounding range around a location where the radio transmitting device is installed. The controller is configured to read the correction data from the memory. The wireless communication processing circuit is configured to transmit a radio signal to carry the correction data to assist the device in the surrounding range to correct the azimuth angle.

Method and apparatus for azimuth detection

A tire inspection device according to the present invention includes a support portion which supports a tire such that a center axis of the tire is positioned along a vertical direction, a lifting and lowering portion which moves the tire and a rim relative to each other in the vertical direction to fit the rim to the tire, a position detection unit which detects a position of a surface of the tire in the vertical direction at three or more detection points, and a posture detection unit which detects posture information of the tire based on position information detected by the position detection unit.

Tire inspection device and tire posture detection method

A device includes a display and one or more motion sensors configured to track positions of two or more feature points of an object when the object is used to perform a gesture at a position remote from the display, and generate, based on the tracked positions of the feature points, sequential position data that indicates a relative position of the feature points with respect to each other and to the display. The device includes circuitry configured to determine, based on the sequential position data, whether the gesture corresponds to one of a plurality of predetermined input operations, and execute processing related to the predetermined input operation when a correspondence is determined. The circuitry is configured to determine whether the gesture corresponds to the predetermined input operation based on variations in the relative positions of the feature points with respect to each other and to the display.
