Publication number: 20230421036Abstract: Disclosed is a linear motor which includes a stator and a mover. The stator extends along a first axis. The mover is arranged so as to extend along the first axis and radially face the stator. The mover has a pole interval along the first axis different from that of the stator. At least one of the stator and the mover has a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis, and a plurality of yoke parts arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis. The permanent magnets are provided, for each pole, in a continuous range along the first axis. The permanent magnets are polar anisotropic magnets that are magnetized from both end portions along the first axis to a radial end portion at a center along the first axis, or magnetized in the reverse directions to these.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Itsuki FUNABA, Taichi SUGIURA, Shin SAKAI, Mitsuo HARA, Akitomo SASAKI, Kenta OSANAI, Kenichiro BAN

Patent number: 6646677Abstract: This invention relates to an image sensing control method and apparatus, and an image transmission control method, apparatus, and system, in which a camera such as a video camera is connected, the operation of the camera is controlled in accordance with a control command sent from a client via a network, and an image signal sensed by the camera is transmitted to the client via the network. Upon reception of a control command of the pan and tilt angles, zoom value, or the like of the camera from the client, the position control of the camera is done in accordance with the command, and transmission of the image signal sensed by the camera is suspended until the instructed operation is complete. Alternatively, upon reception of such control command, the image signal sensed by the camera is compressed at a high compression ratio, and the compressed image signal is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1997Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideo Noro, Akitomo Sasaki, Shigeo Suzuki, Kiyoshi Oka
