Publication number: 20240106972Abstract: There is provided an imaging device including: an image processing unit; a face recognition processing unit; a storage unit; and a composition processing unit for generating composite data by a composition process so that persons photographed in each of a plurality of image data are included in one image data. The face recognition processing unit recognizes a first person by performing a face recognition process on first image data. When second image data obtained by photographing a second person at the different photographing timing of the first image data, with the same background as the first image data, is recorded in the storage unit, the composition processing unit generates composite data in which the first person and the second person are superimposed on the same background.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Masayuki HIRABAYASHI, Yasunobu HASHIMOTO, Hiroshi SHIMIZU

Patent number: 9765675Abstract: Incorporated in an exhaust pipe are an HC-SCR NOx catalyst capable of reducing NOx at temperatures less than a set temperature T and a catalyzed particulate filter with an oxidation catalyst capable of reducing NOx at temperatures not less than the set temperature T. When an exhaust gas temperature is less than the set temperature T, fuel with a set flow rate Q is intermittently added from a fuel addition unit on an entry side of the HC-SCR NOx catalyst to the HC-SCR NOx catalyst; when the exhaust gas temperature is not less than the set temperature T, the fuel with flow rate Q? not less than the set flow rate Q is temporarily rich-spike added from the fuel addition unit and is made arrival at a catalyzed particulate filter. With an active temperature range being expanded, exhaust emission control is performed in a wide temperature range.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: HINO MOTORS, LTD.Inventors: Keiichi Hayashizaki, Shinya Sato, Hiroshi Hirabayashi, Mitsuru Hosoya

Patent number: 6817174Abstract: There is provided a filtering means regenerating system for a diesel engine, in which the filtering means provided in an exhaust gas passage oxidizes NO in exhaust gas of the engine into NO2, and collects particulates in exhaust gas to thereby oxidize the particulates by NO2 and remove the same at a temperature higher than a predetermined exhaust gas temperature. Also, an in-line fuel injection system for injecting fuel into the engine is provided with a variable timer mechanism for regulating the injection timing of fuel, and the deposit of particulates deposited on the filtering means is detected by deposit detecting means. A controller controls the variable timer mechanism based on the detection output of the deposit detecting means. The filtering means is prevented from becoming in an excessively collecting state in all operation statuses of the engine, thereby preventing a decrease in fuel economy and power performance of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Hino Motors, Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuki Igarashi, Masatoshi Shimoda, Mitsuru Hosoya, Hironobu Mogi, Shinya Sato, Hiroshi Hirabayashi

Patent number: 5376564Abstract: On manufacturing a bipolar transistor, a field silicon oxide layer (7) having a beaked edge portion (bird's beak portion) is formed by a heat oxidation process using a silicon nitride film (5) as an oxidation mask. In this event, an edge of the nitride film is boosted up as a boosted portion by an upper part of the beaked edge portion. The upper part of the beaked edge portion is etched to form an undercut portion under the boosted portion. The undercut portion is filled with a base leading polysilicon (10) having impurities. On forming an insulator film (11) on the base leading polysilicon in a heated atmosphere, an outer base region (14) is formed in an epitaxial layer (3) by making the impurities diffuse from the base leading polysilicon towards the epitaxial layer in the heated atmosphere. Between the epitaxial layer and an edge portion of a nonboosted portion of the nitride film, a silicate glass (12) containing impurities is buried.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1994Date of Patent: December 27, 1994Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Hiroshi Hirabayashi
