  • Publication number: 20220262123
    Abstract: A search support system includes at least one camera, and a server capable of communicating with the camera. The camera transmits, to the server, a captured image of the object and image color information of the captured image. The server determines whether a search condition of the captured image set by a user includes a color condition of at least one of white, black, and gray. When the color condition is included in the search condition, the server excludes a captured image associated with the image color information indicating the black-and-white image among all captured images stored in the database from a search target, and outputs a search result including a captured image satisfying the search condition. When the color condition is not included in the search condition, the server outputs a search result including a captured image satisfying the search condition among all captured images stored in the database.

  • Patent number: 9108321
    Abstract: (A) One or both of an object and a robot are measured by measuring units to acquire sensor information. (B) The internal state of one or both of the object and the robot is predicted and updated by a state estimation unit on the basis of the sensor information. (C) The internal state is stored by a data storage unit. (D) The robot is controlled by a robot control unit. At (B), the internal state is updated by the state estimation unit at an arbitrary timing that is independent of the control cycle of the robot. At (D), a prediction value necessary for controlling the robot is calculated by the robot control unit at a control cycle on the basis of the latest internal state stored in the data storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20140360378
    Abstract: A tea infuser structure includes a main body and mount device, where the main body has an opening and crack. The opening is sunk inward to form an accepting space, a flange is disposed around the opening, and the crack is disposed on the rim of the opening. The mount device has a frame, and is mounted on the flange through the frame. A bearing plate is disposed inside the frame and defines a through portion. Whereby, a tea bag can be pulled away from the accepting space to the bearing plate conveniently by pulling a pull thread of the tea bag retained in the crack so as to preventing the tea bag from being dipped in tea too long, and further controlling the thickness of the tea. Furthermore, a spout can be prevented from damage due to collision by covering a protective cover on it.
