  • Patent number: 8717171
    Abstract: A reliability extracting section extracts the reliability of positioning at a person's position calculator on the basis of an image captured from an imaging section. A section that creates a possibly-existing area determines a possibly-existing area on the basis of the result of positioning obtained by the person's position calculator and reliability (precision of positioning) obtained by the reliability extracting section. An entry determining section determines entering and/or leaving to/from a targeted monitored area on the basis of the overlapping of the possibly-existing area with the monitored area.

  • Patent number: 8606842
    Abstract: Provided are N-digit addition and subtraction units and N-digit addition and subtraction modules in which borrowing and carrying are not propagated in modules having basic digits. In the units and modules, an output pattern of results of addition and subtraction is predicted based on a relation between an augend and an addend and a relation between a minuend and a subtrahend, respectively, thereby preventing borrowing and carrying from being propagated in modules having basic digits.

  • Publication number: 20110316700
    Abstract: A reliability extracting section (102) extracts the reliability of positioning at a person's position calculating section (101) on the basis of an image captured from an imaging section (121). A section (104) for creating a possibly-existing area determines a possibly-existing area (AR1) on the basis of the result of positioning obtained by the person's position calculating section (101) and reliability (precision of positioning) obtained by the reliability extracting section (102). An entry determining section (105) determines entering and/or leaving to/from a targeted monitored area (AR0) on the basis of the overlapping of the possibly-existing area (AR1) with the monitored area (AR0).

  • Patent number: 7959755
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a thermal laminate by laminating a first substrate film layer and a second substrate film layer through an adhesive resin layer, which involves the steps of, integrating the adhesive resin layer with the first substrate film layer, heating the surface of the adhesive resin layer by heat rays in the presence of oxygen to induce functional groups which contribute to adhesion, and then, superimposing the second substrate film layer on the adhesive resin layer to be bonded thereto with pressure. The thermal laminate has a strong laminated strength without using a solvent, and is excellent in the safety and hygiene of foods.

  • Patent number: 7117237
    Abstract: An information processing system that is configured in such a manner that computational processing is performed on input data in accordance with a processing sequence, for outputting data, comprises: a plurality of arithmetic units (7-1 to 7-x), each computing at an arithmetic precision 2m bits (where m is a natural number) based on the processing sequence; and a plurality of cascade connection terminals for cascading these arithmetic units each other. When the maximum arithmetic precision that is required during computational processing is 2n bits (where n is a natural number and is fixed), x numbers of (where x is a natural number) the arithmetic units are cascaded in a manner such that the inequality x?2n/2m is satisfied. When an arithmetic precision of 2n1 bits (where n1?n, and n1 is variable) is necessary during computational processing, x1 numbers of the arithmetic units are cascaded in a manner such that the inequality x1?2n1/2m (where x1 is a natural number and is variable) is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 6919135
    Abstract: A paper container is produced that has gas barrier properties, by employing a laminate having at least a (I) paper layer 101, a (II) gas barrier layer 103, and an (III) epoxy-group-containing resin composition layer 104. The (III) epoxy-group-containing resin composition layer consists of a resin composition that contains a polyolefin (a) having a melt flow rate of 0.1˜100 g/min and an epoxy-compound (b) which has two or more epoxy groups in the molecule and has a molecular weight of 3000 or less, epoxy-compound (b) being added in an amount of 0.01˜5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of polyolefin (a). This (III) epoxy-group-containing resin composition layer has good adhesion with the (II) gas barrier layer, thus a laminate can be produced without employing a dry laminate adhesive agent or an extrusion laminate anchor agent. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a deterioration in the work environment or an odor remaining in the final product from the use of organic solvents.
