  • IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20220212787
    Abstract: An image capturing system comprises: an unmanned aerial vehicle including an image capturing unit capable of capturing an image of a subject in a flight state; and a control device capable of communicating with a terminal of the subject and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The control device includes: a storage unit configured to register subject information in which the subject is set as a target to be captured; a determination unit configured to determine whether the subject is present in a predetermined image capturing area; a signal generation unit configured to generate a control signal that controls the image capturing unit; and a communication control unit configured to transmit the subject information and the control signal to the unmanned aerial vehicle.

  • Method for evaluating dispersibility of powder and method for evaluating concentration of airborne powder, and method for designing containment facility using the same
    Patent number: 8091441
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the powder dispersibility including dispersing a powder allowed to stand inside a closed container by mechanical vibration applied quantitatively to the powder; collecting the dispersed powder on a quartz crystal element or a piezo element; and measuring the mass of the collected powder using a quartz crystal microbalance or a piezo element mass meter to thereby measure the airborne powder concentration in air inside the closed container; a method for evaluating airborne powder concentration at work place using the method for evaluating the powder dispersibility; and a method for designing a powder containment facility using the method for evaluating airborne powder concentration.
