  • Publication number: 20190219393
    Abstract: Providing a three-dimensional surveying device and method capable of stably acquiring three-dimensional data with high accuracy. The device includes a mobile body, a measurement target, a collimation distance measuring unit fixed to the mobile body, a scanner unit, and a control computation section. The scanner unit is provided integrally and rotatably with respect to the collimation distance measuring unit. The control computation section is configured to calculate a coordinate value of a measurement center of the collimation distance measuring unit based on a distance measured by the collimation distance measuring unit, a first horizontal and first vertical angle, and to calculate a coordinate value of a measurement target object based on the coordinate value of the measurement center, an external orientation element of the scanner unit with respect to the collimation distance measuring unit, a distance measured by the scanner unit and a second horizontal and second vertical angle.

  • Patent number: 10356271
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a reception unit and a generation unit. The reception unit receives an input image signal, and a synchronization signal used to generate an output image signal on a basis of the input image signal. The generation unit generates, in a case in which the reception unit receives an initial synchronization signal of a unit of image reading, a synchronization signal for a subsequent input image signal. The reception unit receives the synchronization signal generated by the generation unit.

  • Patent number: 10231057
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a universal speaker that efficiently transmits kinetic energy that has been converted from electrical energy of an audio signal to one or more diaphragms, and enables both healthy individuals and the hard of hearing to comfortably hear as a result of higher-volume and sharp emitted-sound. [Solution] This universal speaker (10) is provided at least with a diaphragm (1) having a planar shape, a driver unit (2) for causing the diaphragm to vibrate in accordance with an inputted electrical signal, and an enclosure (3) with a hollow structure for accommodating the diaphragm and the driver unit. The enclosure has an opening (39) at one surface, and the driver unit abuts against an end edge of the diaphragm so as to drive in the same direction as the plane direction of the diaphragm and is also fixedly mounted onto the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 10194046
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a reception unit and a recognition unit. The reception unit receives an input image signal and a synchronization signal including a signal pattern. In a case in which the signal pattern corresponds to a predetermined prescribed pattern, the recognition unit recognizes the synchronization signal as a genuine synchronization signal to be used to generate an output image signal on a basis of the input image signal.

  • Publication number: 20180332185
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a reception unit and a setting unit. The reception unit receives an input image signal, and a synchronization signal used to generate an output image signal on a basis of the input image signal. The setting unit sets, after the reception unit receives the synchronization signal, a reception prohibition period that prohibits reception of a different synchronization signal by the reception unit.

  • Publication number: 20180332187
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a reception unit that receives an input image signal, and a synchronization signal used to generate an output image signal on a basis of the input image signal. In a case in which, after receiving the synchronization signal, the reception unit does not receive a next synchronization signal within a predetermined reception period, the reception unit conducts an automatic reception process that treats the next synchronization signal as being received.

  • Patent number: 9899842
    Abstract: In a control method performed in shifting a plurality of different types of power generators to parallel operation, at least one of output voltage and a voltage drooping characteristic of at least one of the plurality of power generators is changed. In the case where the plurality of different types of power generators are a plurality of synchronous power generators having different voltage drooping characteristics, the voltage drooping characteristic of one power generator having a smaller voltage drooping characteristic among the plurality of power generators to be operated in parallel is changed so as to coincide with the voltage drooping characteristic of the other power generator. At the time of changing the voltage drooping characteristic, the other power generator is controlled so that the output voltage thereof is maintained at a value before start of the parallel operation.
