  • Patent number: 12285874
    Abstract: The component mounter includes a mounting control section that controls a mounting operation for a component by the mounting head based on a control program to execute a mounting process. In a recovery process of attempting to mount a component anew with a mounting position related to the mounting operation as a target position in a case where an error has occurred in the mounting operation, the mounting control section executes the mounting operation for the component by using a designated holder that is one of the multiple holders allocated to the target position in the mounting process as the designated holder.

  • Publication number: 20250118581
    Abstract: A positional relationship detection system includes a measurement unit that measures a positional relationship, a recording unit that records measurement data obtained by the measurement unit in a time series, and a computation unit. The computation unit acquires target time-series data, which is the time-series data of specific detection target amounts indicating the positional relationship, on the basis of the measurement data recorded by the recording unit. The computation unit identifies a first peak and a second peak that are two of a plurality of peaks of a target oscillation that is the oscillation of the detection target amounts appearing in the target time-series data. The computation unit calculates an average value of detection target amounts included in the target time-series data between the first peak and the second peak as a static detection target amount that is a detection target amount after the target oscillation has ceased.

  • Publication number: 20250029472
    Abstract: A behavior monitoring system includes a detection section, a determination section, and a power control section. The detection section includes an opening/closing detection sensor corresponding to opening and closing of a door of any room of a residence, and a human detection sensor provided in each room and configured to detect presence/absence of a human. The determination section determines, based on detection of opening and closing of a door of any room of the residence by a corresponding opening/closing detection sensor and detection of a human by a human detection sensor provided in the room, that a monitoring target person is present in the room. The power control section switches, in a case where a room in which the monitoring target person is present is determined, a mode of a detection section provided in a room other than the room in which the monitoring target person is present from a normal mode to a power saving mode.
