Patent number: 11977036Abstract: An inspection device inspects of goods that include plural articles that sometimes overlap each other. An X-ray inspection device irradiates goods containing plural articles having a predetermined shape and inspects the goods on the basis of inspection images obtained from radiation that has passed through the goods or radiation that has reflected off the goods. The X-ray inspection device includes a storage component, a learning component, and an inspection component. The storage component stores, as teaching images, at least the inspection images of the goods that are in a state in which the plural articles overlap each other. The learning component acquires, by machine learning using the teaching images stored in the storage component, features relating to the goods that are in a state in which the plural articles overlap each other. The inspection component inspects the goods using the features that the learning component has acquired.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: ISHIDA CO., LTD.Inventors: Makoto Nakatani, Yoshinori Tarumoto, Akihiro Maenaka, Hironori Tsutsumi

Patent number: 10924672Abstract: An operation part calculates a shake amount of an imaging apparatus in accordance with a first operation system or a second operation system on the basis of an output signal of a sensor detecting an acceleration or angular velocity to determine a camera-shake correction amount correcting the shake amount. The operation part calculates the output signal of the sensor or a value obtained by integrating an integrated signal of the output signal of the sensor as a shake amount. The operation part includes an imperfect integrator. An operation system setting part sets an operation system of the operation part on the basis of the shake amount calculated by the operation part. In the second operation system, the operation system setting part increases a cut-off frequency of the imperfect integrator more than in the first operation system.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Shunya Yamane, Mitsumasa Murakami, Takeshi Ohtsuki, Mamoru Morotomi, Akihiro Nakatani, Akihisa Nomura, Aritsune Nagamura
