  • Publication number: 20240104751
    Abstract: A detection system includes an imaging unit configured to acquire in advance a first distance image indicating a background and acquire a second distance image including at least the background and a target object, and a processing unit configured to calculate a first virtual volume indicating the background from the first distance image, calculate a second virtual volume indicating the target object from the second distance image, and compare the first virtual volume with the second virtual volume to detect the target object.

  • Patent number: 10884517
    Abstract: An input device of the present disclosure includes an electrode sheet, a plurality of keys, and a controller. The electrode sheet directly senses a change in capacitance at a position where an object approaches when the object approaches the electrode sheet. The plurality of keys are depressibly disposed on the electrode sheet. The controller detects capacitance change amounts at a plurality of positions on the electrode sheet, outputs positional information indicating the position, among the plurality of positions, at which a capacitance change amount detected satisfies a first given condition, and outputs key information indicating a key among the plurality of keys corresponding to the position, among the plurality of positions, at which a capacitance change amount detected satisfies a second given condition.

  • Patent number: 10493461
    Abstract: In a discharge portion liner attachment structure for a vertical shredder including a sweeper supported below a rotor in such a manner as to be coaxial with a rotation shaft, a discharge ring disposed on a circumference portion of the sweeper, and a discharge portion through which a shredding target object that has been swept out through an opening formed on a circumference wall of the discharge ring by a sweeping operation performed by the sweeper is discharged to outside, discharge portion liners are attached in such a manner as to protrude from a side of the discharge portion to a side of the discharge ring in such a manner as to cover edge portions of ones of the discharge ring liners on a side of the opening.

  • Patent number: 10384210
    Abstract: A breaker liner attachment structure for a vertical shredder including a rotor, a cylindrical shell, and a breaker, includes: a void that has an opening on an upper side and formed in an area between breaker liners in the breaker; and bolt insertion holes formed to extend from inner walls of the void to side surfaces of the breaker. Bolts are inserted into the bolt insertion holes via attachment holes formed in the breaker liners. The bolts are fastened with nuts from a side of the inner walls of the void.

  • Publication number: 20100232861
    Abstract: An input device of the present application includes a plurality of input portions. The input device of the present application has a protective sheet capable of covering at least regions between the input portions. The protective sheet is formed of a plurality of layers including at least a first layer and a second layer. The first layer contains a material having elasticity. The second layer contains a material having a buffering property. With such a configuration, an input device can be realized, which includes a protective sheet that is unlikely to be broken even after the use for a long period of time.
