Bampei Kaji has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11831402
    Abstract: A slave node (300) is slave equipment that operates in accordance with a control frame transmitted from a master node (200). The slave node calculates a control frame statistic that is a statistic of one or more control frames transmitted from the master equipment and estimates a master environment value based on the calculated control frame statistic. The slave node measures a slave environment value. The slave node estimates a frequency deviation of a master clock based on the estimated master environment value and estimates a frequency deviation of a slave clock based on the measured slave environment value. The slave node modifies a clock value of the slave clock based on a difference between the frequency deviation of the master clock and the frequency deviation of the slave clock.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10476409
    Abstract: A synchronization control system includes: a first slave station; a second slave station; and a master station, wherein the master station includes: a first command data generating unit that generates the first command data; a feedback data filter that extracts and outputs a frequency component in a first frequency domain from feedback data; a command data filter that extracts and outputs a frequency component in a second frequency domain higher than the first frequency domain from the first command data; an adding unit that adds data output from the feedback data filter and data output from the command data filter, and outputs addition data that is a result of the addition; and a second command data generating unit that generates the second command data on the basis of the addition data.
