  • Publication number: 20190156202
    Abstract: Exemplary computer-implemented method and system can be provided for constructing a model in a neural network for object detection in an unprocessed image, where the construction can be performed based on at least one image training batch. The exemplary model can be constructed by training one or more collective model variables in the neural network to classify the individual annotated objects as a member of an object class. The exemplary model, e.g., in combination with the set of specifications when implemented in a neural network, can perform object detection in an unprocessed image with probability of the object detection.

  • Patent number: 8870627
    Abstract: To propose a method for realizing appropriate delivering of works to carriers in the conventional transfer process. Specifically, in a polishing method for polishing a work retained in a carrier, at least one carrier for retaining a work to be polished is placed between an upper plate and a lower plate; the work is fit in a hole of the carrier; the carrier and the work are inserted between the upper plate and the lower plate; and at least one of the upper plate and the lower plate is rotated while supplying a polishing agent to a space between the upper plate and the lower plate. In fitting the work in the hole of the carrier, an end portion of the work is held and the work is carried to a position above the lower plate; the work is positioned with respect to the hole of the carrier on the lower plate; and the work is released from the hold and guided by a guide to be slowly carried down toward the hole.

  • Patent number: 8002610
    Abstract: To provide a technique for rotating a plurality of carriers 500 between an upper and a lower rotary surface plates to simultaneously polish both surfaces of a plurality of works 400. The work 400 is merged with the carrier 500 outside a polishing apparatus main body 110. The work 400 is supplied onto a lower rotary surface plate 111 of the polishing apparatus main body 110 while remaining merged with the carrier 500. The present invention enables the work 400 on the lower rotary surface plate 111 to be perfectly automatically supplied. After double side polishing has been completed and when an upper rotary surface plate, a liquid such as a water is injected from the upper rotary surface plate to hold the plurality of works 400 to have both surfaces thereof polished, on the lower rotary surface plate 111. The present invention enables the works 400 to be automatically ejected from the lower rotary surface plate 111.

  • Patent number: 7648409
    Abstract: A method of polishing the double sides of a plurality of works simultaneously by rotating a plurality of carriers between upper and lower rotating surface plates, comprising the steps of forming the works (400) integrally with the carriers (500) on the outside of a polishing device main body (110), feeding the works (400) onto a rotating surface plate (111) on the underside of the polishing device main body (110) with the works formed integrally with the carriers (500), injecting liquid such as water from the upper side rotating surface plate when the upper side rotating surface plate is raised after the double sides are polished, holding the plurality of works (400) on the lower side rotating surface plate (111) after the double sides are polished, enabling the works (400) to be discharged automatically from the lower side rotating surface plate (111), providing a brush storage part (180) and a dresser storage part (190) near the polishing device main body (110), and frequently treating a polishing cloth ins
