Patent number: 11043367Abstract: Provided is a valve 130 which requires only a small space for the open/close operation of an opening 113 in a partition wall. A sealing part 140 includes a sealing member 141 for sealing the opening by being pressed onto the partition wall around the opening. An urging means 144 urges the sealing member 141 against the opening when the sealing member 141 is in contact with the opening. A driving means 160 generates a driving force orthogonal to an opening central axis A which is an axis perpendicular to a partition plate 111 and passing through the center of the opening. A linkage 150, which is a Scott Russell linkage connecting the sealing part 140 and the driving means 160, converts the driving force of the driving means 160 into a driving force which is parallel to the opening central axis A and makes the sealing part 140 move along the same axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Shimadzu CorporationInventor: Kosuke Hosoi

Publication number: 20150244991Abstract: An image processing camera generates movement information on the basis of an omnidirectional image captured at a fixed field angle, and notifies PTZ camera of first movement information through a network. The PTZ camera analyzes the first movement information, changes a field angle to a specific monitoring target area. The image processing camera transmits second movement information to the PTZ camera. The PTZ camera analyzes the second movement information, captures a projected image of the specific monitoring target area when it is recognized that a current field angle is correct on the basis of the second movement information. Accordingly, an image of the specific monitoring target area is captured in a situation where there is no object such as a figure while monitoring a wide range.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2015Publication date: August 27, 2015Inventors: Junko Noda, Kosuke Hosoi, Akinobu Tanaka, Toshihiro Shimizu

Patent number: 8885092Abstract: A camera device (1) includes an imaging unit (2) which outputs a long exposure signal and a short exposure signal in one field period. A face detection unit (8) detects a face area from an image captured by the imaging unit (2). The weighting processing unit (12) applies a weighting process to luminance data of the long exposure signal in the detected face area using a weighting constant for reducing the luminance level of the long exposure signal. If the luminance level of the weighting-processed long exposure signal rises to a predetermined saturation level or higher, an exposure control unit (15) performs exposure control using the long exposure signal and the short exposure signal. This can suppress occurrence of a noise due to a short exposure signal (flickering) in the face area, thereby improving visibility in the face area.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yuichiro Mori, Shoji Hatta, Kosuke Hosoi, Yasuji Nakamura, Ryoko Kato
