Publication number: 20240399647Abstract: Control closely based on sets of winding data of a fiber bundle is performed even if at least one set of the winding data is skipped. A controller includes a data conversion unit, a reference data setting unit, a transfer unit, and a selector. The data conversion unit converts sets of first winding data generated based on winding conditions into sets of second winding data in which a processing order number is associated with information of a state of a winder. The reference data setting unit sets some of the second winding data as sets of reference data in advance. The transfer unit transfers a selected set of the second winding data to the winder, each time a unit time elapses. The selector is able to set an override value that is used for determining a skip number.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicants: Murata Machinery, Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motohiro Tanigawa, Masatsugu Goyude, Toshihiro Matsui, Hirotaka Wada, Yoshihiro Kino, Hidehiro Takeoka, Yasuhiro Sakanashi, Dai Shimizube, Daigoro Nakamura, Wataru Sawabe

Publication number: 20240400342Abstract: It is possible to suppress damage to a yarn path guide mechanism and a textile machine. There is a first supporter which makes contact with a supporting shaft supporting a roller, a second supporter which is capable of making contact with the supporting shaft, and a biasing member which biases the second supporter in a direction in which the supporting shaft is sandwiched between the second supporter and the first supporter. When a virtual straight line which passes through a winding center and a rotation center is a first virtual straight line whereas a virtual straight line which extends in a direction orthogonal to the first virtual straight line and passes through the rotation center is a second virtual straight line, the second supporter makes contact with a part of the supporting shaft, which is positionally opposite to the winding center over the second virtual straight line.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicants: Murata Machinery, Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motohiro Tanigawa, Masatsugu Goyude, Toshihiro Matsui, Hirotaka Wada, Yoshihiro Kino, Hidehiro Takeoka, Yasuhiro Sakanashi, Dai Shimizube, Daigoro Nakamura, Yoshinori Miura

Patent number: 9994347Abstract: A system for individually packaging medicine is provided with a medicine inspection device that is capable of performing inspection of medicine that is individually packaged using a device for individually packaging medicine or the like. The control device of the medicine inspection device is provided with an inspection database in which images of medicine are stored as master images and is capable of carrying out an inspection task using image matching processing that involves an image acquired by imaging. The control is also capable of performing similarity determination for determining whether a medicine that is similar to a medicine that is packaged in an individual wrapper is present in the inspection database in a state in which the reference scope of the inspection database is restricted.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: YUYAMA MFG.
