Abstract: A walk assistance device capable of transmitting a force generated by a leg link to a user's trunk via a load transmit portion, wherein the leg link includes an upper first link portion connected to the load transmit portion via a first joint portion, a lower second link portion connected to a foot attachment portion via a second joint portion, a middle third joint portion connecting the first link portion to the second link portion such that a distance between the first joint portion and the second joint portion is variable, and a driving source that drives the third joint portion. The moment of inertia around the first joint portion of the leg link is reduced to decrease a load on the user's leg in walking. The driving source is disposed above the third joint portion of the first link portion so that the center-of-gravity of the entire leg link is located above the third joint portion. In the case where the driving source includes an electric motor and a reduction gear, the electric motor is disposed above the reduction gear.

Abstract: An FM radar apparatus detects a distance to and/or a speed of a target not only from peak frequencies of beat signals in respective frequency rise and fall regions but also by reusing the peak frequency in the preceding frequency rise or fall region. As a result, it becomes possible to obtain target data at twice the conventional pitch and hence to detect the target more finely and minutely.

Abstract: A radar system and method for use in collision avoidance systems. A radar system in accordance with the present invention may comprise a plurality of antennas, an RF power generator, a transmitting unit, a receiving unit, and a direction detector. Each of the antennas is arranged to radiate a beam having substantially the same pattern as the beams radiated by the other antennas. The beam of each antenna is radiated in a slightly different direction from the beams radiated by the other antennas. Each antenna is also arranged to receive return beams, wherein each of the return beams comprises a beam radiated from one of the beam radiating means and reflected by an object. The RF power generator generates RF power of nearly constant amplitude. The transmitting unit distributes the RF power to each of the antennas, and the RF power is radiated successively. The receiving unit generates amplitude detecting signals which are used to detect the amplitudes of the return beams received by the antennas. Each of the amplitude detecting signals is utilized by a pair of antennas. One antenna of each pair radiates a beam and receives a return beam produced therefrom. The other antenna receives a return beam produced by a beam radiated by an adjacent antenna. The direction detecting means detects a direction to the object based on the amplitude detecting signals, the arrangement of the antennas, and a timing of distribution of FM signals to the antennas.
