  • Patent number: 11363187
    Abstract: Examples in this application disclose a focusing method and apparatus applied to a terminal device, and the terminal device. One example method includes detecting whether a current frame includes a target object, where the target object is one of preset objects on which focusing needs to be performed. When the current frame includes the target object, a determination is made as to whether the target object is in a motion state. When the target object is in the motion state, tracking focusing is performed by using phase detection PD information with a variable filtering length. When the target object is in a static state, stable focusing is performed by using PD information obtained in an adaptive fixed PD configuration mode.

  • Publication number: 20210060648
    Abstract: A work piece is damaged by a power failure or the like. Provided is a metal powder lamination apparatus, in which a control apparatus detects a load received by a blade while moving a recoater head along a B axis, stops the recoater head when the blade receives a load greater than or equal to a predetermined value, stores the position and height of an obstructive protrusion in a storage apparatus, repeatedly lowers a molding table by a predetermined height, and removes by planing only the largest obstructive protrusion among multiple obstructive protrusions after the recoater head moves to the end.

  • Patent number: 10928339
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalytic conversion-type sensor that detects a detection target gas by detecting a conversion gas produced through a reaction, the catalytic conversion-type sensor including: a gas flow path that allows the detection target gas to flow down; and a conversion portion that is connected to the gas flow path, the conversion portion including, on a side partitioned by a diffusion means that allows the detection target gas to naturally diffuse, a heated catalyst portion that produces a conversion gas by causing the detection target gas to come into contact with a heated catalyst and react with the heated catalyst, and a sensor element portion that is capable of detecting the conversion gas produced through the reaction.

  • Patent number: 10065211
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device with a piezoelectric element disposed at a location other than near an edge of a panel. A device includes a panel and a piezoelectric element disposed in a predetermined region on a planar surface of the panel. The panel vibrates in response to vibration of the piezoelectric element so as to transmit sound to a human body contacting the panel. By the piezoelectric element being disposed in the predetermined region of the panel, the center of the piezoelectric element is located within a range of 40% to 60% of the distance from one edge to the other edge of the panel in a first direction and within a range of 40% to 60% of the distance from one edge to the other edge of the panel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10033950
    Abstract: An image sensor control device includes an image sensor including focus detecting pixels; an object brightness detecting unit that detects brightness of an object; a mode determining unit that determines a first readout mode or a second readout mode based on the detected brightness of the object; a read-out unit that reads out the focus detecting pixels in the determined readout mode; and a focus detecting unit that performs focus detection by using focus detection data read out from the focus detecting pixels. In an implementation, in the first readout mode, the read-out unit reads out the focus detecting pixels in a first interval, and, in the second readout mode, the read-out unit reads out the focus detecting pixels in a second interval, which is longer than the first interval.

  • Publication number: 20170150532
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes an information terminal and a communication device. Communication between the information terminal and the communication device is performed by a first wireless communication through an access point or by a second wireless communication directly between the information terminal and the communication device without passing through the access point. The wireless communication system determines whether the information terminal can be connected to the communication device through the first wireless communication with the information terminal set as the access point. The system transmits an instruction signal for changing the access point to the communication device through the second wireless communication when it is determined that the information terminal cannot be connected to the communication device.
