  • Patent number: 11339867
    Abstract: A driving apparatus has a problem in that foreign matter, such as grease, in a reduction gear moves from the reduction gear to a coupling side. Therefore, a driving apparatus includes an input shaft with a hollow space, a motor that rotates the input shaft, a reduction gear that receives the power of the motor from the input shaft, an output shaft inserted through the hollow space of the input shaft and adapted to rotate about the rotation axis of the motor, and a coupling connected to a tip end of the output shaft. A first limiting member for limiting the movement of foreign matter in the reduction gear toward the coupling side is arranged between the reduction gear and the coupling.

  • Patent number: 11174931
    Abstract: A driving apparatus has a problem in that a tip end of an output shaft, which is inserted through a hollow space, is difficult to be fitted into the apparatus body during the maintenance. Therefore, a driving apparatus includes an input shaft with a hollow space formed therein that penetrates therethrough in the axial direction, a motor that rotates the input shaft, a reduction gear that receives the power of the motor from the input shaft, an output shaft inserted through the hollow space of the input shaft and adapted to rotate about the rotation axis with power output from the reduction gear, and a coupling connected to a tip end of the output shaft. A first bearing for supporting the output shaft is arranged, and a second bearing for supporting the output shaft is arranged in the hollow space between the input shaft and the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 11092228
    Abstract: A driving apparatus has a problem in that during the maintenance operation, foreign matter moves from the tip end side of an input shaft into a hollow space. Therefore, a driving apparatus includes an input shaft with a hollow space formed therein, the hollow space penetrating therethrough in the axial direction, a motor that rotates the input shaft, a reduction gear that receives the power of the motor 1 from the input shaft, an output shaft inserted through the hollow space of the input shaft and adapted to rotate about the rotation axis with power output from the reduction gear, and a detector that detects information on the rotation of the input shaft and the output shaft. A limiting member, which limits the movement of foreign matter into the hollow space of the input shaft from one side to the other side of the motor, is arranged in the hollow space between the input shaft and the output shaft.

  • Publication number: 20160364384
    Abstract: Map label translation implementations described herein transliterate and translate map labels in a first language, even those written in a non-Latin script, into a Latin script and into a second language. In some implementations a translation candidate generator process generates possible translation candidate sequences for each n-gram in the map label, for example, an entity's name in Japanese and possibly in native Japanese (non-Latin, non-Roman) script. A candidate sequence selector selects a number of top possible translation candidate sequences. A ranking feature extraction process is used to rank the selected top number of top possible translation candidate sequences by using a trained probabilistic classifier and geospatial and linguistic context information as ranking features. A post ranker then re-ranks the selected ranked translation candidates depending on neighboring proximity information around the location of the entity and outputs the best map label translation in the second language.

  • Patent number: 8434387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an industrial robot and aims to provide an industrial robot capable of ensuring a long distance from a rotation axis of an arm to a tool mounting portion and accurately positioning the tool mounting portion by a compact structure. In a swing arm 150, the rotation of a tool mounting rotation arm driving motor 311 is transmitted to a pivot shaft 313 via a tool mounting rotation arm driving transmission mechanism 300, the rotation of a tool mounting portion driving motor 411 is transmitted to an intermediate power transmission shaft 422 via a tool mounting portion driving first transmission mechanism 412a, and the rotation of the intermediate power transmission shaft 422 is transmitted to an output power transmission shaft 426 via a tool mounting portion driving second transmission mechanism 412b, thereby rotating a tool mounting portion 170 while being decelerated by a tool mounting portion driving reduction unit 413.

  • Patent number: 6430217
    Abstract: A speech voice input to the microphone 62 is converted into a digital signal by an A/D converter 35. An encoder 36 in turn spreads the digital signal using a spread spectrum scheme and the spread signal is supplied to the modulator 37. A modulator 37 modulates a carrier wave (e.g., a frequency of 800 MHz) with the spread signal and the modulated wave is transmitted from an antenna 40. A high-frequency signal is induced in a paired cable 64 of a headset 60 by the transmitted wave. The high-frequency signal transferred in the direction to the telephone unit 30 through the cable 64 is eliminated by an LPF 46. On the other hand, the high-frequency signal transferred to a headphone 61 passes through a capacitor 63 to a ground level. Thus, the entry of the transmitted signal into the amplifier 45 and the headphone 61 can be avoided, and an occurrence of noise in the headphone 61 can be prevented.
