  • Patent number: 11991437
    Abstract: A first camera robot includes: a camera that captures an image of surroundings; an image recognizer that detects one or more subjects from within a captured image; a controller that selects an operation pattern of the first camera robot based on an attribute of one or more subjects detected, and causes the robot to operate according to the selected operation pattern; a communicator that transmits, to another camera robot, instruction information for causing the other robot to operate according to the selected operation pattern; and a shutter that outputs an image obtained by capturing the one or more subjects while the first camera robot and the other robot are operating according to the selected operation pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240106194
    Abstract: A light-emitting array includes a light-emitting part having plural light-emitting block, a selection part that operates with a reference potential supplied from a reference part provided on an outside as a reference and selects the light-emitting block to be made to emit light, and a disconnection part that disconnects connection of the selection part and the reference part in a period during which a light emission current caused by low-side drive is flowing in the light-emitting block.

  • Patent number: 7832520
    Abstract: Disclosed is a working vehicle capable of working and driving in stable condition while suppressing the adverse effect caused by the load variation such as sudden dashing from an associated ground working implement. The working vehicle comprises a controller for controlling the variator ratio of its toroidal mechanism to oppose the variation of the load when the toroidal mechanism is loaded on its output side. The controller adjusts the variator ratio appropriately when the engine starts.

  • Publication number: 20060038741
    Abstract: To provide a multi-monitor system capable of enhancing operability of a mouse in an extended desktop environment. When a screen M1 of a primary monitor 11 is connected to a screen M2 of a secondary monitor 21 in a shifted manner at a predetermined section B2-D1, mark windows 50 are displayed on the screen M1 of the primary monitor 11 and the screen M2 of the secondary monitor 21 adjacently to the predetermined section B2-D1 in order to accurately and promptly grasp the predetermined position B2-D1 where a mouse pointer MP is movable. As options, the mark window 50 is hidden when the mouse pointer MP is moved onto the mark window 50 or in the vicinity thereof, the mouse pointer MP is temporarily stopped at the predetermined section, and a number of a destination monitor is displayed on the original screen when the mouse pointer MP is moved to the other screen.

  • Patent number: 6760007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an input method using the pointing device in which the pointing device's ON operation causes an application to recognize that the state of the pointing device has transitioned to an ON state and the pointing device's OFF operation causes the application to recognize that the state of the pointing device has transitioned to an OFF state. The input method includes responding to the ON operation of the pointing device maintained in a certain period and bringing about a latch state in which the pointing device remains in the ON state for the application even if the OFF operation of the pointing device has taken place; and executing a program for informing a user that the latch state has been brought about.
