Patent number: 11977790Abstract: In an information processing device, a processor is configured to perform: acquiring; displaying; receiving; and identifying. The acquiring acquires from a memory a single set of template data for a composite label. The single set of template data includes a plurality of sets of image data corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of print labels and representing respective ones of a plurality of label images. The single composite label is to be created using the plurality of print labels. The displaying displays on a display a composite label image in which the plurality of label images is superimposed on each other. The receiving receives a designating operation on the composite label image via an operating interface. The designating operation targeting a target label image. The identifying identifies target image data corresponding to the target label image from among the plurality of sets of image data.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoyasu Fukui, Ryuichi Kanda, Koichi Kondo, Hiromichi Nampo

Patent number: 11964745Abstract: An underwater work system of the present disclosure acquires a relative position of an underwater vehicle relative to a surface ship at the start of searching work, the relative position being measured based on a sound wave transmitted from a wave transmitter. The underwater work system calculates a position of the underwater vehicle based on the acquired relative position. When a measurement error region whose center corresponds to the calculated position of the underwater vehicle and an expected laid region of a pipeline extending in a predetermined direction overlap each other, the underwater work system moves the underwater vehicle to such a position that the measurement error region and the expected laid region do not overlap each other, and then, makes the underwater vehicle perform crossing detection in which the underwater vehicle detects the presence or absence of the pipeline while crossing the expected laid region.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Noriyuki Okaya, Koichi Fukui
