  • Patent number: 11890796
    Abstract: In a mold clamping apparatus, a mold clamping mechanism is provided with a half nut, and a tie bar is provided with circumferential groove configured to meshed with the teeth of the half nut. A strong-force mold opening mechanism that opens molds at an initial stage of mold opening extends across a space separating a movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism and is connected to the movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism. The strong-force mold opening mechanism is set so as to have greater axial force and shorter stroke than those of a mold opening and closing mechanism. A control unit controls opening and closing of the half nut, controls the strong-force mold opening mechanism and controls the position of the half nut in such a way that the half nut is synchronized with the circumferential groove by the strong-force mold opening mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11377100
    Abstract: A behavior prediction system includes an information obtainer, a probability distribution model generator, a map generator, and a display. The information obtainer obtains information on a traveling direction of a moving object whose behavior is to be predicted. The probability distribution model generator generates a probability distribution model regarding a traveling direction of the moving object based on the information on an obtained traveling direction of the moving object. The map generator uses the probability distribution model to calculate probabilities that the moving object passes through respective areas into which a movable region of the moving object is divided and that generates a probability map in which the probabilities are assigned to the respective areas. The display displays the probability map.

  • Patent number: 11338488
    Abstract: A mold clamping device includes a base, a stationary platen fixed to the base and supporting a stationary mold, a movable platen movable on the base and supporting a movable mold, and a mold clamping mechanism for clamping the movable mold against the stationary mold. Tie bars extend from the stationary platen completely through both the movable platen and the mold clamping mechanism. A shaft supporting plate is fixed to the base and has openings through which the tie bars slidably extend for supporting the tie bars. The shaft supporting plate terminates at its lower end portion in two spaced-apart shoes that are fixed to the base. The bottom surface of each shoe has a larger area than the cross-sectional area of the shaft supporting plate situated vertically above the shoe.

  • Publication number: 20220063164
    Abstract: A mold-clamping machine 10 includes a stationary mount 13, a movable mount 18, a mold-clamping mechanism 15 and a mold opening-and-closing mechanism 16. The mold-clamping mechanism 15 includes a cylindrical constraining mechanism 30. The constraining mechanism 30 has a magnet mechanism built therein. By causing a current to flow or not flow, the constraining mechanism 30 changes to an unconstrained state or to a constraining state. In the unconstrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 is movable relative to a tie bar 19 and along the tie bar 19. In the constrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 becomes unmovable relative to the tie bar 19. The magnet mechanism positions the mold-clamping mechanism at an arbitrary position over the tie bar.

  • Patent number: 10718616
    Abstract: A patrol route setting apparatus includes a cell divider, a probability distribution setter, a random number generator, a destination setter, a route setter, and a probability distribution updating unit. The cell divider divides map information into cells. The probability distribution setter sets, for each cell, a probability distribution of a presence probability of a capturing target in the cell. The destination setter that sets, as a destination, any, of the cells, that has a greatest first value, of the presence probability, corresponding to a random number generated by the random number generator, on the basis of the probability distributions. The probability distribution updating unit updates, on the basis of presence information of the capturing target acquired by an information acquiring unit, the probability distributions of the presence probability of the capturing target, when the movable body travels along the traveling route to the destination set by the route setter.

  • Patent number: 7720689
    Abstract: A driver's license shooting section comprises a structure that can shoot a driver's license's watermarks both from either its obverse or reverse. And a driver's license shooting controller orders the driver's license shooting section to shoot the driver's license's a watermark from its obverse. Using this result, an authenticity judging section judges the driver's license's authenticity. Then, if the driver's license is back-watermarked type, it is recognized as not authentic, when the driver's license shooting controller orders the driver's license shooting section to shoot the driver's license's a watermark from its reverse. Using this result, the authenticity judger judges if the driver's license is authentic or not. In this way, a legal back-watermarked type driver's license is judged authentic. Consequently, a driver's license's authenticity can be judged properly, no matter whether the driver's license is face-watermarked type or back-watermarked type.
