  • Patent number: 10182280
    Abstract: A sound processing apparatus includes a processor to obtain sound data and image data, wherein the sound data is collected from a sound source in a given area by a sound collection unit including a plurality of microphones and the image data is captured by an imaging unit which captures an image at least partially in the given area, to designate a direction defined relative to the sound collection unit, wherein the designated direction corresponds to a designation part on an image displayed based on the image data, to designate an arbitrary range in the given area, wherein the designated arbitrary range corresponds to a designation part on the image displayed based on the image data, and to emphasize a sound component in the sound data in the direction designated by the first designation unit within the arbitrary range designated by the second designation unit.

  • Patent number: 9305743
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a marking apparatus includes a charged particle beam device and a marking unit. The charged particle beam device generates a charged particle beam, irradiates a sample including a laminated body with the charged particle beam, detects secondary charged particles generated from the sample, and acquires a sample image. The marking unit bores a hole reaching at least a second layer from a surface layer in the laminated body in a viewing field of the charged particle beam device.

  • Patent number: 8641463
    Abstract: Lubricant oil (45) serving as second lubricant oil is supplied into an outer intermediate shaft (11c) by a lubricant oil supply unit (50) and accumulated therein, and thereby the lubricant oil (45) is supplied to a contra-rotating front seal unit (37). Thus, by bringing the front side of the contra-rotating front seal unit (37) (seal ring (37b)) into a wet state by the lubricant oil (45), it is possible to reduce heat generation and it is possible to extend the life of the contra-rotating front seal unit (37).

  • Patent number: 8585366
    Abstract: The thrust load of an outer shaft is received by a contra-rotating thrust bearing provided in a boss of a front propeller and transmitted to an inner shaft. The combined thrust load of the outer shaft and the inner shaft is received by an inner thrust bearing provided on the bow side of the power transmission unit and transmitted to a ship body. The rotational force of an outer output shaft is transmitted to the outer shaft via a flexible joint (gear coupling). Thus, the thrust load of the outer shaft is transmitted to the ship body only via the inner shaft without being directly transmitted to the ship body, and the axial displacement and angular displacement are allowed by the gear coupling, so that it is possible to eliminate the influence of the change of hull deformation on the shaft center of the outer shaft.

  • Patent number: 8459950
    Abstract: The object is to facilitate the installation of a contra-rotating propeller on a mother ship. Disclosed is a contra-rotating propeller unit in which a predetermined part on the rear side of an inner shaft (12) is supported by a contra-rotating rear bearing (36) provided in a boss (13a) of a front propeller (13), and which includes an inner fixing tool (50) detachably attached to a tip of an outer shaft (11) to temporarily support a predetermined part on the front side of the inner shaft (12), and a contra-rotating thrust bearing (40) provided in the boss (13a) of the front propeller (13) to receive the thrust load from the outer shaft (11) to transmit the thrust load to the inner shaft (12).

  • Patent number: 8295268
    Abstract: An IP device (for example, network cameras 3a, 3b, and 3c) connectable to a router (for example, a router 2) makes a request to the router for assignment of a port number when a predetermined operation is performed, and notifies a management server 6 connected to a wide area network of address data containing an assigned port number when the port number is assigned from the router, wherein address data containing the port number can be registered in the management server 6 on the wide area network, so that, even when access is made from the terminal 4 on the wide area network side with a port number that is locally updated, access is made possible by transmitting address data of the IP device to the terminal 4.

The combined thrust load of the outer shaft (11) and the inner shaft (12) is received by an inner thrust bearing (41) provided on the bow side of the power transmission unit (20A) and transmitted to a ship body (2). The rotational force of an outer output shaft (24) is transmitted to the outer shaft (11) via a flexible joint (19) (gear coupling (19A)). Thus, the thrust load of the outer shaft (11) is transmitted to the ship body (2) only via the inner shaft (12) without being directly transmitted to the ship body (2), and the axial displacement and angular displacement are allowed by the gear coupling (19), so that it is possible to eliminate the influence of the change of hull deformation on the shaft center of the outer shaft (11).
