  • Publication number: 20240114260
    Abstract: An imaging element includes a reading circuit that reads out pixel data obtained by imaging a subject at a first frame rate, a memory that stores the read pixel data, and an output circuit that outputs image data based on the stored pixel data at a second frame rate. The first frame rate is a frame rate higher than the second frame rate. The pixel data includes phase difference pixel data and non-phase difference pixel data different from the phase difference pixel data. The reading circuit reads out the pixel data of each of a plurality of frames in parallel within an output period defined by the second frame rate as a period in which the image data of one frame is output, and performs reading of the non-phase difference pixel data and a plurality of reading of the phase difference pixel data within the output period.

  • Publication number: 20230264355
    Abstract: A state monitoring device monitors a state of a robot capable of playing back a predetermined operation. A time-series data acquirer acquires time-series data of state signals for a period of time from the timing of an acquisition start signal indicating a start of acquisition of a state signal reflecting a state of the robot to the timing of an acquisition end signal indicating an end of acquisition of the state signal. The time-series data is stored in association with timing information indicating the timing of acquisition and playback identification information identifying a playback operation of the robot. A dissimilarity calculator calculates dissimilarity between reference data based on the time-series data acquired in at least one operation and comparison data based on the time-series data acquired in an operation performed after the acquisition of the time-series data pertaining to the reference data.

  • Publication number: 20220011366
    Abstract: A failure diagnosing device of a drive mechanism of a mechanical apparatus with a body including a motor, a speed reducer configured to slow down rotational power of the motor, and an operation part configured to operate by the slowed rotational power, and a vibration-proof controller configured to perform a vibration-proof control to prevent vibration of the body, the mechanism including the speed reducer and the motor. The device sends a command for suspending the vibration-proof control to the controller, then identifies an acceleration-and-deceleration period during which operation of the mechanical apparatus of which the control is suspended accelerates and decelerates, and determines whether the mechanism indicates a sign of failure based on a change in a frequency spectrum of load current of the motor or a current value having a correlation with the load current to a change in a rotational speed of the motor during the acceleration-and-deceleration period.
