Patent number: 9946342Abstract: A programmable display device connectable to a programmable logic controller in a communicable manner includes a sightline estimate unit, which estimates a direction of a sightline using image data obtained by capturing an image of a person, a display control unit, which displays a screen including an object on a display, a measurement unit, which measures a time period for which the sightline is directed to the object when the sightline is determined to be directed to the object through the estimation, and a storage unit, which stores image identification information identifying the object and time information indicating the measured time period in association with each other. This allows a third person to determine a time period for which a user has gazed at an object.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kiyotaka Fujiwara, Takayoshi Yamashita, Fumio Kawakami

Patent number: 9754094Abstract: Provided is a programmable display apparatus that enables post-hoc identification of a user who has been permitted to access an application through facial authentication. The programmable display apparatus stores feature data of a face of a user and identification information of the user in association with each other. The programmable display apparatus performs facial authentication based on image data of a user obtained through image capture and on the feature data. The programmable display apparatus permits a user to access the application if the user has been authenticated. The programmable display apparatus stores identification information of the authenticated user and a history indicating a state in which the access has been permitted in association with each other.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kiyotaka Fujiwara, Takayoshi Yamashita, Fumio Kawakami

Patent number: 6170671Abstract: The blood filter unit of the invention is composed of a blood filtering material made of glass fiber filter and microporous membrane and a holder having a blood inlet and a filtrate outlet. The holder accommodates the blood filtering material so that the microporous membrane is located on the filtrate outlet side, provides a space between the blood filtering material and the filtrate outlet, and provides a means for preventing adhesion of the blood filtering material on the filtrate outlet side. By using the blood filter unit, a necessary volume of plasma or serum for analysis can be separated surely, irrespective of hematocrit value of the blood.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Kitajima, Kenichiro Yazawa, Shigeru Tezuka, Fumio Sugaya, Akemi Higo, Kiyotaka Fujiwara
