Publication number: 20220343632Abstract: An image classification device, an image classification method, and an image classification program determine a classification label of an image of an object, by two-stage recognition based on a first model and a second model. If a first label calculated based on the image and the first model is not a predetermined label, the first label is set as the classification label of the image. If the first label is the predetermined label, a second label calculated based on the image and the second model is set as the classification label of the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: IHI CorporationInventors: Hitoshi HATTORI, Masaya KURIBARA, Kazuo YONEKURA, Koji TOKUNAGA

Patent number: 10203013Abstract: One embodiment provides a damping force generator. The damping force generator includes: a valve body having a compression-side inlet port into which the oil pushed by the piston flows; and a compression-side damping valve provided so as to block a port outlet and elastically deformed according to pressure of the oil flowing into the compression-side inlet port to thereby exhibit damping force. An opening cross-sectional area of a port inlet opening is larger than a passage cross-sectional area of the compression-side inlet port.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: SHOWA CORPORATIONInventors: Koji Tokunaga, Tadashi Uotani

Patent number: 10145438Abstract: One embodiment provides a shock absorber. The shock absorber includes a reservoir communication path through which a damping force generator and a reservoir communicate with each other, a compression-side communication path through which a piston-side oil chamber and the damping force generator communicate with each other, and a compression-side inlet port which is provided in the damping force generator and into which oil flows from the compression-side communication path and which has a compression-side valve that generates damping force. The cross-sectional area of the reservoir communication path is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the compression-side inlet port.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: SHOWA CORPORATIONInventors: Tadashi Uotani, Koji Tokunaga

Patent number: 7302242Abstract: A portable phone having a recording function to which this invention is applicable comprises a plurality of memories, a switching unit, and a reproducing unit. Each of the memories is used for endless-recording, as a conversation content audio data during the telephone conversation. The switching unit can switch the memories from a first memory of the memories to a second memory of the memories so that the second memory endless-records the audio data instead of the first memory which endless-records, as the conversation content, the audio data until then. The reproducing unit is used for reproducing the conversation content that the first memory endless-records before being switched by the switching unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Koji Tokunaga

Patent number: 6958366Abstract: An antifouling coating composition having an excellent coating film strength and also has markedly superior antifouling properties, and a novel resin which is useful as a matrix resin for the composition are provided. The antifouling coating composition comprises a vinyl polymer (A) having, as a repeating unit, a structural unit (a) represented by the following formula (1): (in the formula (1), X1 and X2 each independently represents an ester bond or a carbonyl group; R1 represents an ethylene structure which forms a covalent bond with the carbonyl carbon atom and X1 in the formula (1) at the same or adjacent carbon atom; R2 represents a gem-alkylene group, a vic-alkylene group, an arylmethylidene group or an arylethylene group; and R3 and R4 represent an alkyl group or an aryl group, or a hydrocarbon group having a carbonyl group, an ether bond or an ester bond) and an antifouling agent (B).Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Koji Tokunaga, Masataka Ooka, Hiroo Tanaka, Asako Oda, Hiroshi Matsuzawa, Makoto Tsuboi, Eiichi Yoshikawa, Yasuhiro Yuki, Satoshi Hiyoshi
