Patent number: 11050329Abstract: A mother substrate that enables winding cores to be obtained in a manner in which the mother substrate is divided along x-direction division lines and y-direction division lines is prepared. Subsequently, x-direction division grooves are formed along the x-direction division lines on a first main surface of the mother substrate, y-direction division grooves are formed along the y-direction division lines on the first main surface, and shallow bottom surface exposure grooves, for exposing surfaces that are to be core portion bottom surfaces, are formed on the first main surface. The mother substrate is divided by performing a flattening process on a second main surface of the mother substrate that is opposite the first main surface until the second main surface reaches the x-direction division grooves and the y-direction division grooves to obtain the winding cores that are separated from each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Eiji Yamauchi

Patent number: 9826146Abstract: A generator generates attribute information regarding a video image, which is captured by an imaging unit by capturing a plurality of capture directions, on a predetermined unit of video content. A composition map generator extracts a predetermined object, based on the attribute information of the video images captured in the plurality of capture directions within a predetermined period, and generates a composition map indicating a position of the extracted object. A comparator determines priority orders in the respective pieces of shooting of the respective capture directions based on a comparison result obtained by comparing pieces of the attribute information, for each of the capture directions and based on the attribute information included in the composition map. A camera work controller determines a next capture direction based on the priority orders, and controls operations of the imaging unit and a camera pantilter based on the determined capture direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihiro Morioka, Kenji Matsuura, Hideaki Hatanaka, Eiji Yamauchi, Mitsuyoshi Okamoto, Akio Nishiyama, Hirofumi Ishii

Publication number: 20160172004Abstract: A video capturing apparatus includes imaging unit, generator, detector, storage unit, assigning unit, and output unit. The generator generates time information for the captured video. The detector detects a predetermined video feature from the captured videos. The storage unit stores the captured videos, the time information, and the video features, with the captured videos being associated with the time information and the video features. The assigning unit assigns tag information to either the video having an evaluated value for the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value or the video having a change amount of the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value. The output unit preferentially outputs a video, of the captured videos, to which the tag information is assigned, when the captured videos are output. This configuration allows the video capturing apparatus capable of playing back a digest of videos.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2016Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Yoshihiro MORIOKA, Kenji MATSUURA, Hiroyuki KAMEZAWA, Osafumi MORIYA, Hideaki HATANAKA, Eiji YAMAUCHI
