  • Patent number: 12253435
    Abstract: An oil leak detection device includes a pair of permanent magnets, a plurality of commutators, a coil, a pair of brushes, and a current sensor. An N-pole and an S-pole of the pair of permanent magnets face each other. The plurality of commutators are attached to an output shaft. The coil is wound onto the output shaft inside the pair of permanent magnets in the radial direction of the output shaft. The coil is electrically connected to the plurality of commutators. The pair of brushes are attached to a housing and are capable of coming into contact with each of the plurality of commutators. The current sensor detects an induction current flowing between the pair of brushes and the housing.

  • Patent number: 12013028
    Abstract: A transmission system includes a transmission, first and second composite sensors, and a controller. The transmission has a clutch switchable between an engaged state and a disengaged state, a first shaft disposed on an input side of the clutch, and a second shaft disposed on an output side of the clutch. The first and second composite sensors detect rotation speeds and rotation phases of the first and second shafts, respectively. The controller acquires a load torque applied to the transmission. When the clutch is switched from the disengaged state to the engaged state, the controller derives a phase difference between the rotation phase of the first shaft detected by the first composite sensor and the rotation phase of the second shaft detected by the second composite sensor based on the time when the clutch has stopped slipping. The controller acquires the load torque based on the derived phase difference.

  • Patent number: 10991219
    Abstract: A security system includes a camera that captures an image of a monitoring area, a recorder that stores the captured image which is captured by the camera, a sensor that detects a matter in the monitoring area, a video monitoring and display device that causes a monitor to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder, and a BLE reception device that detects a signal from a BLE transmission terminal which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area. In a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area, the video monitoring and display device extracts the captured images of the suspect or the guard, chronologically arranges the captured images, and displays the captured images on the monitor.

  • Patent number: 10602080
    Abstract: A camera device generates a captured image, extracts flow line information relating to a staying position or a passing position of a moving object, and transmits the generated captured image and the extracted flow line information of the moving object to a server device for each predetermined transmission period. The server device generates a flow line analysis image in which the flow line information of the moving object is superimposed on the captured image and displays the generated flow line analysis image on a displayer. Furthermore, the server device switches a first flow line analysis image in a first predetermined period to a second flow line analysis image in a second predetermined period according to an operation of changing the period, and displays the resulting flow line analysis image.

  • Patent number: 10567677
    Abstract: A camera device transmits a captured image and flow line information of moving objects to a server device for each predetermined transmission period. The server device generates a flow line analysis image in which the flow line information of the moving objects is superimposed on the captured image and displays the generated flow line analysis image on a display. The server device displays a first flow line analysis image generated based on a captured image and flow line information in a first period which is arbitrary designated, and receives an instruction by a user operation to shift the first period by an amount. The server device sets a second period by shifting the first period by the amount without changing a length in period, and displays a second flow line analysis image generated based on a captured image and flow line information in the second period.
