Abstract:
A wireless device 101 is a wireless device having identification information, and includes: an operation unit 11; a power generating unit 12 that generates electric power by operation on the operation unit 11; a signal generating unit 13 that operates by using the electric power generated by the power generating unit 12 and is capable of outputting a signal of a kind corresponding to the content of each operation on the operation unit 11; a storage unit 15 that operates by using the electric power generated by the power generating unit 12 and nonvolatilely stores the content of an output signal of the signal generating unit 13, the identification information, and reference information; and a transmission control unit 14 that compares the content of the output signal with the reference information when the operation on the operation unit 11 satisfies a predetermined condition, the content of the output signal and the reference information being stored in the storage unit 15, and transits to a transmission permission state in which transmitting a wireless signal including the identification information stored in the storage unit 15 to a different device is permitted when a result of the comparison satisfies a predetermined condition.
Abstract:
An induction generator, for a wireless switch, having a magnetic element with north pole and south pole contact sections, and a coil core having pole contact sections, which can contact with the north pole contact section and the south pole contact section. The magnetic element and the coil core are disposed so as to be movable relative to one another so that a reversal of the magnetic flux direction in the coil core can be generated when switching between first and second idle position, which define a direction of relative movement, in which the north pole and the south pole contact sections each contacts the respective associated pole contact sections. The induction generator has a magnetizable sliding contact section for sliding guidance of the relative movement between the coil core and magnetic element, and this sliding contact section extends parallel to the direction of movement.

Abstract:
In a wireless control terminal configured to control a control target connected to a control apparatus by working in cooperation with a wireless assistant terminal capable of transmitting a predetermined control instruction for controlling the control target to the control apparatus by using a predetermined control wireless scheme with supply of power from a battery included in the wireless assistant terminal, a wireless control terminal-side battery is provided within the wireless control terminal so as to supply driving power required for control regarding emergency stop of the control target performed with a predetermined wireless scheme of the wireless control terminal. At least remaining storage power information regarding a remaining amount of storage power in the wireless control terminal-side battery is output to a notification apparatus provided in the wireless control terminal or the wireless assistant terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is a portable controller and associated method that provides a patient or caregiver the ability to recharge and alter the parameters of an implanted medical device, while allowing the patient substantially unobstructed mobility. To enable mobility, the controller may be worn on a belt or clothing. The controller also allows the patient to turn device stimulation on and off, check battery status, and to vary stimulation parameters within ranges that may be predefined and programmed by a clinician. The controller communicates with the medical device to retrieve information and make parameter adjustments using wireless telemetry, and it can send and receive information from several feet away from the implanted medical device. Charging of a battery contained in the implanted medical device is achieved via an inductive radio frequency link using a charge coil placed in close proximity to the medical device.

Abstract:
A wearable device is disclosed that, while being worn by a user, may allow a user to authenticate to a second device such as a smartphone without having to enter an unlock code such as a personal identification number. The wearable device may detect when the user removes it. Removal of the wearable device may cause it to be disabled and prevent it from being used to authenticate a subsequent user to the second device until it is re-enabled.
