Publication number: 20210101547Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device, a control method, a program, and a mobile object which are capable of improving convenience. Pressure distributions for a plurality of measurement ranges of a seat on which a user is seated, and time variations of the pressure distributions are measured, and operation of a device or the seat is controlled according to the measurement result. Furthermore, it is determined that a behavior of the user is a gesture for a predetermined operation input, and control according to the gesture is performed. At this time, it is determined whether it is a gesture of the user intended to be the operation input or a posture change of the user not intended to be the operation input. The present technique is applicable to, for example, a control processing device that performs control processing for a seat for vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2019Publication date: April 8, 2021Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Koji NAGATA, Takashi SAITOH, Kenichiro WATANABE

Patent number: 9464889Abstract: A method comprises a calibration curve creation step in which a calibration curve is created on the basis of hardened surface layer depth. A destructive test is performed on one of two samples in pairs, and propagation time of a first peak of a first wave of waveform of a signal outputted with the other in pairs in a non-destructive test is determined, the samples in pairs being prepared such that carburization depth varies gradually from pair to pair. A waveform of a signal outputted with a to-be-inspected piece is obtained. The propagation time of a first peak of a first wave of the waveform of the signal output with the to-be-inspected piece is obtained, and the hardened surface layer depth of the to-be-inspected piece is obtained using the calibration curve, on the basis of the propagation time obtained with the to-be-inspected sample.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: IHI CORPORATIONInventors: Arisa Yanagihara, Minoru Tagami, Kenichiro Watanabe, Yoshinori Ishida
