Publication number: 20240183122Abstract: A controller (30) of an excavation system controls a bucket (15c) to excavate an excavation object (O) along an excavation row (C). In a case where the bucket (15c) is located forward (X1) of a border (53) at completion of one excavation performed by the bucket (15c), the controller (30) causes the bucket (15c) to perform next excavation without changing the excavation row (C). In a case where the bucket (15c) is located on the border (53) or rearward (X2) of the border (53) at the completion of one excavation performed by the bucket (15c), the controller (30) changes the excavation rows (C) and causes the bucket (15c) to perform the next excavation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Daisuke NODA, Nobuhiro FUKUO, Masaki AKIYAMA, Takayuki DOI

Patent number: 11800241Abstract: The present technology relates to an interchangeable lens and a method for controlling the same capable of starting shooting in consideration of mechanical fluctuations after a diaphragm is driven, a shooting apparatus, and a camera system. An interchangeable lens includes a diaphragm, a diaphragm driving unit that drives the diaphragm, and a lens control unit that transmits diaphragm driving information including stabilization time information of the diaphragm to a shooting apparatus when the diaphragm driving unit drives the diaphragm. The present technology is applicable to lens-interchangeable digital cameras, and the like, for example.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Nobuhiro Doi, Jun Aoyama, Syouei Hirasawa

Patent number: 11523065Abstract: To suppress a difference in brightness and darkness in a captured image caused by a difference in an exposure start time by a rolling shutter even if the exposure period is not changed. Provided is an imaging device including a gain setting unit configured to set a gain for each line in which a plurality of pixels is arrayed, the plurality of pixels being two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix in an image sensor, on the basis of diaphragm drive information regarding a diaphragm drive locus representing a time-series change in a diaphragm value. Thereby, the difference in brightness and darkness in a captured image caused by the difference in an exposure start time by a rolling shutter can be suppressed even if the exposure period is not changed.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoomi Ito, Nobuhiro Doi, Syohei Uchida, Yusuke Mimura
