Patent number: 11964402Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shiro Oda, Tetsuya Taira, Satoshi Toyoshima, Yuta Watanabe, Takeshi Matsui, Takayoshi Nasu, Kei Yoshikawa, Yusuke Ota, Yutaro Ishida, Yuji Onuma, Kyosuke Arai

Publication number: 20230097720Abstract: An image reading device includes a tray, a paper feed roller that conveys a sheet, a first sensor that detects a front end and a rear end of the sheet, a second sensor that detects the front end of the sheet, and a scanner that reads an image on a front side of the sheet and reads an image on a back side of the sheet. A controller determines a first time duration that elapses from the detection of the front end of the sheet by the first sensor to the detection of the rear end of the sheet by the first sensor and operates the scanner to read the image on the back side of the sheet over a second time duration equal in length to the first time duration. The second time duration begins after the front end of the sheet is detected by the second sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Satoshi ONUMA

Publication number: 20180198951Abstract: An image reading apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image reading unit that generates image data by reading an object. A background unit has a plurality of different background surfaces. A control unit determines whether the object has a non-standard size. When the object is determined to have a non-standard size, the image reading unit faces the object with a first surface, of the plurality of different background surfaces that is distinguishable from the object, positioned behind the object for reading. When the object is determined to not have a non-standard size, the image reading unit faces the object with a second surface, with a different color than the first surface of the plurality of different background surfaces, positioned behind the object for reading.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventor: Satoshi ONUMA

Patent number: 5371573Abstract: An image forming system for forming an image on a sheet includes a first receiving section and a second receiving section. A first transporting section transports the sheet-to the first receiving section. A second transporting section transports the sheet to the second receiving section. A selecting section selects either the first receiving section or the second receiving section. A detector detects that the second receiving section is in an abnormal condition while the selecting section selects the second receiving section. The selection of the selecting section is changed from the second receiving section to the first receiving section corresponding to the detection of the detector. The second transporting section is driven until all the sheets in the second transporting section are transported to the second receiving section.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1993Date of Patent: December 6, 1994Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Koji Kagaya, Kesao Shindo, Takashi Matsuoka, Satoshi Onuma
