  • Patent number: 11982998
    Abstract: A manufacturing monitoring assistance device includes: a model creation unit creating a computation model when a product as a sample is normal, based on a three-dimensional form acquired from the product; a simulation unit creating a corrective computation model when the product is abnormal, by adding a sample of an abnormal portion in the product to the created computation model, and performing a simulation on each of the computation model and the corrective computation model; and a monitoring method determination unit determining a method for monitoring a manufacturing process for the product, based on an abnormality index being a difference between an output from a sensor as a result of the simulation performed on the computation model and an output from a sensor as a result of the simulation performed on the corrective computation model, and causing an output device to display the determined method and the abnormality index.

  • Patent number: 9171244
    Abstract: Provided is an RFID tag, wherein a communication distance of several centimeter or more can be secured and the cost of which can be reduced in comparison to conventional on-chip antennas, even when being compact in size (square shaped with a side of 1.9 to 13 mm). The RFID tag (80) comprises an antenna (20), an IC chip (30) connected to the antenna (20), and a sealing material (10) that seals the IC chip (30) and the antenna (20). The antenna (20) is a coil antenna or a loop antenna, and the resonance frequency (f0) of an electric circuit constituted by the inductance (L) of the antenna (20) and the capacitance (C) of the IC chip (30) is equal to the operation frequency of the IC chip (30), or in the vicinity thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150097521
    Abstract: Provided are an antenna sheet for a non-contact charging device and a charging device using the antenna sheet. The antenna sheet is configured to allow for a high degree of freedom in respect of arrangement of a transmitting side and a receiving side during power charging. The antenna sheet is an antenna sheet for a non-contact charging device, and is usable as a transmitting-side resonator for a transmitting-side device or a receiving-side resonator for a receiving-side device. The antenna sheet comprises: a substrate; and a coil-shaped antenna formed on the substrate, wherein the coil-shaped antenna is configured to function as a pickup coil operable to resonate at a resonant frequency f, when a resonance capacitor is set to have a capacitance C. The resonant frequency (f) is 13.56 MHz, the transmitting-side resonator comprises a resonance capacitor having a capacitance of 1 to 5 pF, and the receiving-side resonator comprises a resonance capacitor having a capacitance of 70 to 100 pF.
