Patent number: 6916235Abstract: A hand-held endless belt abrading machine comprises a base portion and a main portion, which portion is rotatable relative to the base portion around an axis extending in a forward and rearward direction of the abrading machine. The main portion comprises an air motor having a rotational shaft extending in a direction transverse to the abrading machine and projecting from the left end of the air motor, so that an abrading endless belt assembly drivingly connected to the output shaft is positioned to the left relative to the motor and the base portion which is held by a hand of an operator. When a left-handed person uses the abrading machine, the main portion is turned 180° relative to the base portion to shift the abrading endless belt assembly to the right relative to the base portion, thereby enabling the operator to readily observe the abrading belt assembly in operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2004Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Mikiya, Takashi Chiba, Atsushi Miura, Keiichi Murakami

Publication number: 20050105771Abstract: The object detection apparatus according to the invention detects an object based on input images that are captured sequentially in time in a moving unit. The apparatus generates an action command to be sent to the moving unit, calculates flow information for each local area in the input image, and estimates an action of the moving unit based on the flow information. The apparatus calculates a difference between the estimated action and the action command and then determines a specific local area as a figure area when such difference in association with that specific local area exhibits an error larger than a predetermined value. The apparatus determines presence/absence of an object in the figure area.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Shinichi Nagai, Hiroshi Tsujino, Tetsuya Ido, Takamasa Koshizen, Koji Akatsuka, Hiroshhi Kondo, Atsushi Miura

Publication number: 20040107246Abstract: A client (such as a PC, portable telephone, PDA, electrical appliances), to which a device such as a IC card is connected, starts a handshake protocol to request a server to start communication. When communication is established via the handshake protocol, the initiative of communication is transferred to the server, and the state changes into a neutral state. In this neutral state, a control packet including a particular number of messages and a finished message is transmitted from the server to the client. If the client receives the control packet, the client performs a process according to the messages included in the control packet. This makes it possible to remotely control a device via a network in a highly reliable and efficient manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2003Publication date: June 3, 2004Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Hideki Akashika, Takuya Oshima, Tadashi Suzuki, Atsushi Miura, Toyokazu Ota, Yoshiaki Hirano

Patent number: 6632023Abstract: An adapter 5 for an optical connector comprises a pair of wall portions 55a and 55b on a mounting surface 56a. The structure allows the adapter to accommodate an optical connector 4 inserted from a direction vertical to the mounting surface 56a, and allows the adapter to accommodate an optical connector 7 inserted along a predetermined axis 8. On this account, it is possible to insert the connector 7 along the predetermined axis 8 to the housed optical connector 4. Since the optical connector 4 is mated to and demated from the optical connector 7 in this sort of adapters, force applied to an optical module 2 is decreased in mating/demating the connector. An optical module product 9 includes the optical module 2, a coated optical fiber 3, the optical connector 4, and the optical connector's adapter 5. An optical module mounting substrate product 1 includes the optical module product 9 and a substrate 10 for mounting thereon the optical module 2 and the adapter 5 for optical connectors.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignees: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Ogawa, Hidetoshi Ishida, Toshiaki Kakii, Atsushi Takai, Atsushi Miura, Hiroaki Furuichi
