Publication number: 20240132186Abstract: In a ship control system of one embodiment, a route command unit outputs a route command including a target ship position and a target bow direction of a ship. An information detector detects ship information including an actual ship position and an actual bow direction of a ship. An external force vector estimation unit estimates an external force vector received by a ship, using the ship information and a hull motion model related to a hull motion of the ship. A control command unit controls both rotational frequency of a main engine and a rudder angle of a ship, based on the route command, the ship information, and the external force vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Toru KAWATANI, Hiroki TANAKA, Takatsugu SAKAKIBARA, Naoyuki KAWASAKI, Ryo YAMAGUCHI, Hironobu UETAKE, Naoki SHIMADA, Kenta ABE

Publication number: 20240134377Abstract: In a ship control system of one embodiment, a main engine controller performs, when controlling the rotational frequency of a main engine based on a target ship speed of a ship, feedback control of an actual ship speed of the ship to perform ship speed control for bringing the actual ship speed closer to the target ship speed. A turning judgment unit judges whether or not the ship will turn. A control change unit performs, when the turning judgment unit has judged that the ship will turn, lowering processing for lowering the responsiveness of the ship speed control.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Toru KAWATANI, Hiroki TANAKA, Takatsugu SAKAKIBARA, Naoyuki KAWASAKI, Ryo YAMAGUCHI, Hironobu UETAKE, Naoki SHIMADA, Kenta ABE

Publication number: 20240132187Abstract: A ship monitoring system includes: a shipboard information processing apparatus and including a shipboard communication unit and an information acquisition unit; and a support information processing apparatus and including: a support side communication unit capable of communicating with the shipboard communication unit; a time lag identification unit; and a state prediction unit. The time lag identification unit identifies a time from transmission of the ship motion information from the shipboard communication unit to reception of the ship motion information by the support side communication unit as a reception time lag. The state prediction unit inputs the ship motion information and the reception time lag to a ship motion model related to the ship motion of the ship to predict a motion state of the ship ahead of a motion state of the ship indicated by the ship motion information by a period of time based on the reception time lag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Toru KAWATANI, Hiroki TANAKA, Takatsugu SAKAKIBARA, Naoyuki KAWASAKI, Ryo YAMAGUCHI, Hironobu UETAKE, Naoki SHIMADA, Kenta ABE

Patent number: 10747121Abstract: An optical processing apparatus includes: a housing; a stage; and a light irradiation unit configured to cause a light source unit to emit light so as to form a strip-like irradiation area extending over an area wider than a width of a substrate in a right and left direction. The stage and the light irradiation unit are moved by a moving mechanism relatively to each other in a back and forth direction. Light emitted from the light irradiation unit is deviated by a light-path changing unit from a relative movement area of a substrate. When a substrate is relatively moved below the light irradiation unit without the intension of being subjected to a light irradiation process, a control unit outputs a control signal such that an irradiation area is not formed on a surface of the substrate by the light-path changing unit, while the light source unit emitting light.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Teruhiko Moriya, Masaru Tomono, Ryo Shimada, Makoto Hayakawa, Seiji Nagahara
