Publication number: 20230252962Abstract: A newly composed musical piece is generated with original music as an input. The present disclosure relates to a music processing system. And the music processing system of the present disclosure is a music processing system characterized by having musical-piece generating means which generates a musical piece by using a learning model which performed machine learning on the basis of input data including musical piece data in which a musical score of a musical piece constituted by one channel or more of melodies and one channel or more of chords is described and configuration information indicating attributes of elements constituting the musical piece of the musical piece data and shaping means which shapes the generated musical piece generated by the musical-piece generating means to a musically harmonized content.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventor: KENJI TAMAI

Patent number: 9327809Abstract: Provided are a salvage container and a salvaging method capable of salvaging ammunition dumped into the sea using a simple configuration while more reliably suppressing the leakage of a chemical agent from the ammunition. A salvage container includes: a container body (30); a lid (40) that blocks an opening portion of the container body (30); a gasket (70) that is formed of a compressively deformable member and that blocks a gap between an inner side surface (33) of the container body (30) and the lid (40) from the outer side in a specific direction; and a gasket presser (50) that clamps the gasket (70) between the gasket presser (50) and the lid (40).Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Kobe Steel, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Shinkai, Kiyoshi Asahina, Kenji Tamai

Publication number: 20140099176Abstract: A semiconductor processing apparatus is provided, which includes processing chambers coupled together by transport mechanisms having transfer robots. After having completed wafer processing in each processing chamber, the allowable value of a time permitted for a processing-completed wafer to continue residing within the processing chamber is set up. Then, a time consumed up to the completion of transportation of a wafer scheduled to be next processed is estimated, thereby controlling a transfer robot in a way such that, when the estimated transfer time exceeds the allowable value of the waiting time, priority is given to an operation for unloading a processed wafer from the processing chamber insofar as the processed wafer's transfer destination is already in its state capable of accepting such wafer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: HITACHI HIGH-TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Keita NOGI, Teruo NAKATA, Kenji TAMAI, Michinori KAWAGUCHI, Yoshiro SUEMITSU

Patent number: 8171837Abstract: It is intended to provide a pressure container which can prevent dispersion of a hazardous substance or the like to the exterior and ensure a high level of safety with a simple structure. To achieve this object, a pressure container (10) comprises an outer vessel (30) and an inner vessel (40) which receives an impact load produced at the time of blasting disposal operation. The inner vessel (40) is disposed inside the outer vessel (30). The inner vessel (40) has a pressure relieving part (50) which can discharge part of high-pressure gas produced in the inner vessel (40) at the time of the blasting disposal operation into a gap formed between the inner vessel (40) and the outer vessel (30).Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Kobe Steel, Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Asahina, Ryusuke Kitamura, Kenji Tamai, Takao Shirakura

Patent number: 8042446Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve durability of a pressure vessel for blasting an article to be treated such as hazardous substance or explosive therein. The pressure vessel 10, means for achieving the object, has an external vessel 31 and an internal vessel 32 installed in the external vessel 31. The external vessel 31 has a strength for retaining pressure caused by blasting the article. The internal vessel 32 receives fragments of the treated article 100 to protect the external vessel 31 against the fragments. The internal vessel 32 preferably covers almost entire internal surface of the external vessel 31.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2006Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignees: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Shuzo Fujiwara, Takehiro Matsunaga, Kiyoshi Asahina, Kenji Tamai, Kenji Koide, Katsuo Kurose
