Patent number: 9630553Abstract: In a structure, which securely attaches a component to an opening portion in a plate-shaped member without stripping or turning over the plate-shaped member, each of a pair of mount members includes a first engagement portion engaged with a rear surface side of the plate-shaped member and a second engagement portion engaged with the component. The component includes projecting portions to be fitted between the mount members to enable fixing against coming off by engagement of the second engagement portion and the component. The projecting portions inhibit the mount members from moving so as not to come off the opening portion. Since the second engagement portion is formed from the multiple step portions engageable with the component, engagement with the component may be done even if plate thickness of the plate-shaped member varies, enabling fixing without backlash and improving versatility to the plate-shaped member having different plate thickness.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: HONDA ACCESS CORP.Inventors: Kazuya Takita, Shoji Yokoyama

Patent number: 9483692Abstract: A gesture recognition apparatus capable of recognizing a hand by means of a binary image regardless of direction of light contacting the hand. A binarizing processing section binarizes an input image from a camera to a hand recognizing section to prepare a first binary image by a predetermined method. A rebinarizing processing section only rebinarizes a predetermined area of the input image to prepare a second binary image. A contraction processing section performs a contraction processing on the second binary image. The rebinarizing processing can increase the possibility of recognizing the hand by classifying a portion of the hand that was classified into black in the first binary image into white. The hand is determined to be recognizable if the hand can be recognized in the first binary image and/or in the second binary image.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignees: NIPPON SYSTEMWARE CO., LTD., HONDA ACCESS CORP.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Kondou, Teruo Uchimura, Shinichi Horisaki, Atsuki Kakinuma, Toshiaki Hosogai
