  • Patent number: 10068615
    Abstract: A capture execution/non-execution control device includes a display controller that carries out control to cause an image generated through execution of a program to be displayed on a display unit, and a capture level value acquirer that acquires a capture level value indicating the degree of permission or prohibition of capture of an image displayed on the display unit. The capture execution/non-execution control device further includes a reference value acquirer that acquires a reference value serving as a criterion as to whether or not capture of an image is permitted, and a capture execution/non-execution controller that controls whether or not to execute capture of the image displayed on the display unit according to a result of comparison between the capture level value acquired and the reference value acquired.

  • Publication number: 20180229549
    Abstract: A driving device for a carriage includes a motor, a speed reducer, and a mecanum wheel. The speed reducer decelerates the power input from the motor and outputs a decelerated power. The mecanum wheel is rotated by the decelerated power output from the speed reducer. The speed reducer includes a speed reducing unit, a carrier, and a case. The speed reducing unit receives the power from the motor. The carrier supports the speed reducing unit. The case is rotatable relative to the carrier. The mecanum wheel is fixed on the case or the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20180222176
    Abstract: A movable member is gripped in a delamination-start configuration, and the other-end side of a rib of a delamination member is pressed towards the other-end side of a flexible plate. The flexible plate then warps and deforms about the other end side of the flexible plate, which is supported by a support member, the flexible plate deforming along the direction in which delamination progresses. In concert with the delamination action, a reinforcing plate also warps and deforms along with the flexible plate, the reinforcing plate being vacuum-chucked to an air-permeable electroconductive sheet on the flexible plate, and the reinforcing plate is sequentially delaminated from a substrate 2 along the direction in which delamination progresses.

  • Patent number: 10042343
    Abstract: This application discloses a control device for controlling a motor configured to drive an oscillatory cyclo-speed reducer including an oscillatory gear portion formed with at least one hole at an eccentric position. The control device includes an angle acquirer for acquiring input information about an input rotational angle indicating a rotational angle of the motor, an estimator for estimating an angular error between the input rotational angle and an output rotational angle indicating a rotational angle of the oscillatory cyclo-speed reducer based on a quantity of the hole(s) and a corrector for determining a compensation current value in correspondence to the angular error and setting a magnitude of a current to be supplied to the motor by correcting a command current value using the compensation current value.
