Publication number: 20220327248Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a user interface unit and a user authentication unit. The user interface unit displays on a display device a user authentication screen that includes an input field for a password, and determines an inputted character string to the input field by a user operation performed to an input device. The user authentication unit performs user authentication on the basis of the inputted character string and a preregistered password. The user interface unit (a) determines a sight direction of the user on the basis of a face image taken by an imaging device, (b) determines whether the sight direction points to a predetermined range that includes the input field, and (c) if the sight direction points to the predetermined range, displays the inputted character string in the input field, or if not, displays a mask character string in the input field.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventor: Isao Koda

Patent number: 9832323Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a platen, a fixed-document detection unit, a determination unit, and a processing-target selection unit. The determination unit determines whether the document on the platen is a left document or not when the document on the document tray and the document on the platen are detected, upon acceptance of the document-reading-starting instruction by the instruction accepting unit. The processing-target selection unit sets image data obtained by a conveyed-document reading unit as a processing target when the determination unit determines that the document on the platen is the left document, and inquires which image data obtained by the conveyed-document reading unit and a fixed-document reading unit, to be set as the processing target of the user when the determination unit determines that the document on the platen is not the left document.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Kyocera Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Isao Koda

Patent number: 6326796Abstract: A harmonic injection point a is set on a power line extending downstream from a harmonic measuring point b in an electric power system. The currents of interharmonics are injected to the harmonic injection point a by a current injection device. The frequencies of the interharmonics are located on both sides of the frequency of an n-th targeted harmonic in frequency spectrum and each of the frequencies is a nonintegral multiple of the frequency of a fundamental wave of an electric power transmitted by the electric power system. The current values and voltage values of the interharmonics at the harmonic measuring point are detected to thereby obtain admittance values of an equivalent circuit of a power line extending upstream from the harmonic measuring point b when the interharmonics flow therethrough. An admittance value of the equivalent circuit of the power line when the targeted harmonic flows therethrough is determined by interpolating the admittance values for the interharmonics.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1998Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignees: Nissin Electric Co., Ltd., Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc.Inventors: Isao Koda, Masakazu Tsukamoto, Shoji Nishimura, Katsuhiko Uno, Yasuyuki Natsuda, Yoshifumi Minowa

Patent number: 6208945Abstract: Frequencies fx between the measurement harmonic (mth-degree harmonic) and the (m±1)th-degree harmonics are determined from an expression of fx=(fs*m)±{(fs/n)*k)} where n and k are each an integer. Currents of inter-harmonics of the frequencies fx above and below the measurement harmonic are injected into an inject point in a power system in n cycles of the fundamental wave. Voltage at the inject point based on the injected currents and currents at least either upstream or downstream from the inject point are measured. Admittances for the inter-harmonics above and below the measurement harmonic on at least either the upstream or downstream side from the harmonic inject point are calculated from the measurement results. Interpolation processing based on the calculation results is performed, thereby finding and determining an admittance for the measurement harmonic.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1998Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignees: Nissin Electric Co., Ltd., Chubu Electric Power Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isao Koda, Masakazu Tsukamoto, Hideki Fujita, Toshihiro Nakamura, Shoji Nishimura, Yasuyuki Natsuda, Toshihiko Shikata

Patent number: 6114859Abstract: Single-phase currents at two frequencies f.alpha. and f.beta. (f.alpha.<n.multidot.fs<f.beta.) of non-integral multiples of a system fundamental wave frequency fs sandwiching an targeted harmonic (frequency n.multidot.fs) are injected between two phases of a three-phase power system as interharmonic currents. A frequency analysis of measurement current and measurement voltage of each phase in the system is carried out and a positive-phase-sequence current I1, a positive-phase-sequence voltage V1, a negative-phase-sequence current I2, and a negative-phase-sequence voltage V2 are detected for each of the two frequencies f.alpha. and f.beta. in the system based on injecting of the interharmonic currents. Positive-phase-sequence and negative-phase-sequence admittances Y1 and Y2 or positive-phase-sequence and negative-phase-sequence impedances Z1 and Z2 are found for each of the frequencies f.alpha. and f.beta. in the system as Y1=I1/V1 and Y2=I2/V2 or Z1=V1/I1 and Z2=V2/I2.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1998Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignees: Nissin Electric Co., Ltd., Chuba Electric Power Co., Inc.Inventors: Isao Koda, Masakazu Tsukamoto, Yasuhiro Fuwa, Shoji Nishimura, Yoshifumi Minowa, Yasuyuki Natsuda

Patent number: 4785405Abstract: The power system stabilizer is provided at an individual power system to be separated due to an accident cutting off a link line which interconnects a number of power systems to form a large-scale power system. The power systems include power stations such as power plants and transformer substations. A simplified arithmetic processing unit of the stabilizer performs an arithmetic processing by a simple linear equation using an output frequency of a representative power station belonging to the separated power system immediately after the accident has been cleared, so that a total load drop of the separated power system can be assumed. Based on the assumption amount, balance control of demand and supply in the separated system is made.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1987Date of Patent: November 15, 1988Assignees: Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc., Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Taizo Hasegawa, Hirotaka Ono, Isao Koda, Tadahiro Gouda, Hideharu Oshida, Toshiharu Narita
