  • Patent number: 10266330
    Abstract: A deflation valve for use with a compression bag includes a base member and a lid member attached to the base member. The base member includes a deflation port and an inner cylindrical portion. The lid member includes a valve member and an outer cylindrical portion surrounding the valve member. The outer cylindrical portion includes an air passage portion and is arranged outwardly of the inner cylindrical portion. Suction of the deflation port causes an upward movement of the lid member to open the deflation port, imparting a negative pressure to the compression bag via the air passage portion and the deflation port. Stopping of the suction causes a downward movement of the lid member due to the negative pressure to close the deflation port with the valve member. The air passage portion serves as a finger hooking portion when opening the deflation port.

  • Patent number: 10182106
    Abstract: A data management system includes an information management apparatus including an acquisition unit, a first transmission unit, and a second transmission unit, and an information processing apparatus including a first reception unit and a second reception unit. The acquisition unit acquires target-user identification information and data made available to a target user. If data-group identification information has not been transmitted to the information processing apparatus of the target user, the first transmission unit transmits the data-group identification information to the information processing apparatus. If the first transmission unit has transmitted the data-group identification information to the information processing apparatus of the target user, the second transmission unit transmits a data provision notification to the information processing apparatus. The first reception unit receives the data-group identification information from the information management apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10154188
    Abstract: A master camera device and a plurality of slave camera devices are directly connected through a network, and form one network segment. The master camera device performs multicast communication with each slave camera device, and acquires information representing a transmission condition from each slave camera device. In a case where a worsening transmission condition relative to a predetermined threshold is detected from a transmission condition of each slave camera device and a transmission condition of the master camera device, the master camera device performs multicast communication with each slave camera device, and controls an encoding level representing a degree of encoding process, sequentially from an encoder having a lower priority, including the encoder of the master camera device, to improve the transmission condition. Thus, by an efficient communication, the transmission condition is improved from an initial stage having an unstable transmission condition, to obtain a preferable real-time image.

  • Patent number: 9909350
    Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicular reflective optical sensor that has improved control reliability. Said vehicular reflective optical sensor is provided with a control unit (6) that: emits detection light (3) at prescribed intervals from a light-emitting unit (2) on an exterior panel of a vehicle towards a detection region (1) set outside said vehicle; tests for a threshold-exceeded state in which the amount of light in a light reflection (4) received from the detection region (1) by a light-receiving unit (5) exceeds a prescribed detection threshold; and, if it is detected that a detection target has entered the detection region (1), outputs a detection-confirmation signal. The control unit (6) uses, as the aforementioned detection threshold, the sum of a predetermined fixed value and an adjustment value comprising a summary statistic for the amounts of light in an appropriate number of light reflections (4) preceding the light reflection (4) on which the comparison is being performed.
