Binding machine

There is provided an electric power tool including: a second voltage supply portion configured to supply, based on a first power supply voltage supplied from a first battery, a second operating voltage for operating a second controller, and configured to supply, based on a second power supply voltage supplied from a second battery, the second operating voltage for operating the second controller; a first voltage line configured to connect a first voltage supply portion and the second voltage supply portion and configured to supply the first power supply voltage; and a backflow suppression circuit configured to permit a current to flow from the first voltage supply portion to the second voltage supply portion in the first voltage line and configured to suppress a current from flowing from the second voltage supply portion to the first voltage supply portion in the first voltage line.

Electric power tool

A comment that can easily arouse viewer's interest and attention to a game video can be outputted. An attribute information acquisition section acquires viewer attribute information which indicates an attribute of a viewer who has made access to a video distribution apparatus. A comment information selection section selects at least one of a plurality of comment information items associated with a predetermined scene included in a video, on the basis of the viewer attribute information. A comment output section outputs a comment that is based on the selected comment information, together with the predetermined scene included in the video.

Video distribution apparatus, video distribution method, and video distribution program

There is provided an electric power tool including: an electric motor; a communication device; and a first controller including a first storage section configured to store a control program for driving the electric motor, a second storage section configured to store an update program of the control program that is to be received by the communication device, and a processor configured to drive the electric motor by executing the control program after the communication device starts reception of the update program.

Electric power tool, and processor for electric power tool

A binding machine includes a first body part having an operation part, a second body part having a feeding unit configured to feed a wire, a guide part configured to guide the wire to a surrounding of a binding object, and a twisting unit configured to twist the wire, thereby binding the binding object, an elongated connecting part configured to connect the first body part and the second body part, a first output unit configured to detect an operation on the operation part and to output a first signal, a second output unit configured to detect that the binding object is inserted in a feeding path of the wire and to output a second signal, and a control unit that controls the feeding unit and the twisting unit to execute a binding operation when the control unit detects the first signal and the second signal.

A binding machine includes: a feeding unit capable of feeding a wire and winding the wire around a to-be-bound object; and a function unit movable between a first position located on a feeding locus of the wire and a second position deviating from a position on the feeding locus of the wire. The function unit is located in the second position in a predetermined state.

An apparatus includes a housing having a holding portion for gripping by a hand of a user; a manipulation block having a first side that includes at least one of: (i) one or more pressable buttons, and (ii) a stick button, and having a second side that includes a trigger button; and at least one of: (i) a thumb sensor block, located proximate to the first side of the manipulation block, and operable to detect the presence of the thumb of the hand of the user when the holding portion is gripped by the user, (ii) a first finger sensor, located on the trigger button, and operable to detect the presence of the at least one finger of the hand of the user when the holding portion is gripped by the user, and (iii) a second finger sensor, located proximate to both the second side of the manipulation block and the holding portion of the housing, and operable to detect the presence of at least one of a middle finger, a ring finger, and a pinky finger of the hand of the user when the holding portion is gripped by the user.

Control apparatus and control program

A method of 3D print modelling includes: obtaining a target virtual object for 3D printing, evaluating the target virtual object for 3D printing with respect to one or more printability criteria to detect whether the 3D printed model would have one or more predetermined undesirable physical characteristics, and if so, generating 3D printable model data defining a transparent matrix to be printed surrounding the 3D printed model of the target virtual object.

System and method of 3D print modelling

An audio confirmation system includes a voice acquiring section configured to acquire a voice contained in a motion picture; a voice text producing section configured to produce a voice text based on the acquired voice; a determining section configured to determine whether or not the produced voice text and a caption text that is embedded in an image contained in the motion picture correspond to each other; and an outputting section configured to output a result of the determination of the determining section.

Audio confirmation system, audio confirmation method, and program via speech and text comparison

A contact determination section determines whether or not there is any contact between a body part of a user and an object in a real world. An AR region determination section determines, as an augmented reality region, a region that corresponds to a partial space including a portion of the object in the real world, the portion having been contacted by the body part, and that is viewed from a viewpoint of the user. An AR generation section generates an augmented reality image in the augmented reality region in a shot image of the real world.

Image generation apparatus and image generation method for generating augmented reality images based on user interaction

A moving-object position and orientation acquisition section acquires a position and an orientation of a moving object detected by a tracker provided in the moving object to be moved by a user. An AR region determination section determines, as an augmented reality region, a region that corresponds to a partial space occupied by the moving object in a real world and viewed from a viewpoint of the user. The moving object is configured to be moved by the user. An AR generation section generates an augmented reality image in the augmented reality region in a shot image of the real world.

Image generation apparatus and image generation method for augmented reality images based on object interaction

Methods and apparatus provide for causing a device to present a sense of force against depressing of a button in response to receiving an input initiated by the user of a sense-of-force presentation start position in said predetermined movable range, and to store the sense-of-force presentation start position in a memory in response to the input initiated by the user; acquiring a depress amount of said button; receiving the sense-of-force presentation start position from the memory; and instructing the presentation of the sense of force against depressing of said button when said depress amount reaches said sense-of-force presentation start position.

A control apparatus for a device with one of the left side and the right side of the device fixed as pressed against the palm of a user. The device includes a button that can be depressed within a predetermined movable range and a sense-of-force presentation block for presenting a sensor of force against button depression within a range in which any of the fingers of the user is reachable, the input of a sense-of-force presentation start position in the predetermined movable range being received, a button depressing amount being acquired, and, when the sense-of-force presentation start position is reached, instructing the sense-of-force presentation block to present a sense force against the depressing of the button.
