  • Publication number: 20230393270
    Abstract: An underwater detection device includes a transmitter, a receiver, an actuator, a controller, and a signal processor. The transmitter transmits a transmission wave. The receiver receives a reflection wave of the transmission wave. The actuator rotates the transmitter and the receiver in a mutually synchronized fashion. The controller makes the transmitter transmit a plurality of transmission waves at mutually different frequencies in order, for every given unit rotation angle. The signal processor generates an echo signal for indication in a direction of the unit rotation angle based on a reception signal at each of the frequencies acquired from a range of the unit rotation angle.

  • Patent number: 11528967
    Abstract: Provided is a male snap button (10) including a metal male snap body (20), and a fixing member (30) for fixing the male snap body (20) to a fabric (1). The male snap body (20) includes: a male-side engagement part (21) in annular shape capable of being removably engaged with a female-side engagement part (60) of a female snap button (40); and multiple claws (27). The male-side engagement part (21) defines an opening (28) that exposes the fabric (1) inside in a radial direction thereof. A diameter (D1) of the opening (28) is greater than a length (W1) in the radial direction from an outside edge of the opening (28) in the radial direction to an outside edge of the male snap body (20) in the radial direction. The fixing member (30, 30a) includes claw accommodation parts (33) to receive the claws (27).

  • Patent number: 10481248
    Abstract: A Continuous Transmission Frequency Modulated (CTFM) detection apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a projector, a sensor, and a hardware processor. The projector is configured to transmit a frequency modulated transmission wave at a given transmission period. The sensor is configured to receive a reflected wave, the reflected wave comprising a reflection of the transmission wave on a target object. The hardware processor is programmed to at least generate a beat signal based at least in part on the transmission wave and the reflected wave, extract asynchronously from the transmission period a processing signal from the beat signal, and generate information related to the target object based on the processing signal.
