Patent number: 11926502Abstract: A transport device transports an individualized sheet-shaped workpiece. The transport device includes: an annular transport belt having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and having a plurality of suction holes extending between the first surface and the second surface; first and second decompression chambers arranged along a moving direction of the transport belt; and a vacuum degree adjusting mechanism provided in the first decompression chamber and adjusting a vacuum degree in the first decompression chamber. The first and second decompression chambers each abut against the second surface, and each suction the workpiece through at least one of the plurality of suction holes toward the first surface such that the transport belt is capable of transporting the workpiece in the moving direction in a suspended state from the first surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kentarou Adachi, Takafumi Kaneda, Hayase Minoura, Masaki Takahashi

Publication number: 20190291280Abstract: Gripping teeth and grippers capable of reliably grasping a test piece to conduct a material test even for a brittle material or a composite material are provided. Multiple protrusions which are referred to as blade-shaped teeth having pointed leading ends are formed on tooth surfaces (15). The gripping teeth have the tooth surfaces (15) on which teeth cutting from two directions are crossed to form the protrusions and intervals between the protrusions are reduced to increase an amount of the protrusions. When a test piece is grasped by the gripping teeth, a force applied to each protrusion is reduced, and thus a depth by which each protrusion bites into the test piece can be shallow, and the test piece strength at grasped parts of the test piece can be prevented from decreasing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Masaki KANEDA

Patent number: 9506849Abstract: When a crosshead descends after a specimen is loaded, pins attached to link members contact seat surfaces formed on seat members, and then contact side walls of the seat surfaces. As the crosshead descends further, the pins contacting the seat surfaces press the seat members 31. This pressing force moves a pair of first slide members away from each other as guided by a first rail, and moves a pair of second slide members away from each other as guided by a second rail 24. Consequently, tension loads in biaxial directions perpendicular to each other are applied to the specimen gripped by four chucks 25.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Masaki Kaneda

Patent number: 8670922Abstract: When a user specifies a road that he/she wants to pass through, a guiding route generation device generates a guiding route that passes through the specified road up to a destination. A guiding route (37) generated based on waypoints specified is stored in a storage device (15) of the guiding route generation device. A display device (11) displays the guiding route (37) along with roads in the periphery. The guiding route generation device specifies a certain road as the specified pass-through road from among the roads displayed along with the guiding route (37), and further, finds and determines whether there are crossings and the number of the crossings between the specified pass-through road and the guiding route (37).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha KenwoodInventors: Masaki Kaneda, Masahiro Ueno

Patent number: 7937214Abstract: A guidance route search device essentially having means for specifying a route point and means for selecting a guidance schedule. The route specifying means specifies plural route points guided up to a destination point. The selecting means functions to select a guidance schedule covering plural route points reachable by previously set time of arrival at a destination point and causing staying time at the plural route points to be the maximum within maximum staying time set in advance for the route points. This enables a guidance schedule for guiding through plural route points to be generated with consideration of staying time at each route point.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha KenwoodInventors: Masaki Kaneda, Masahiro Ueno, Hiromi Akiyoshi

Patent number: 7822539Abstract: There are provided a guide route search device and a guide route search method for searching a guide route via a plurality of points as well as a computer program for realizing the method. A guide route satisfying the route point condition such as a stay time at each point is searched. According to another aspect of the invention, after searching a guide route, an operator can perform a correction such as addition, deletion, or modification of the route points or rearrangement of the arrival order at the points. It is possible to judge whether the guide route after the correction satisfies the route point condition. According to still another aspect of the invention, a guide route is superimposed together with the current position on the map image. The map color and/or brightness is changed according to the arrival time at a route point.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha KenwoodInventors: Hiromi Akiyoshi, Masaki Kaneda, Masahiro Ueno, Yuko Iwami, Youko Mabuchi

Publication number: 20080120021Abstract: A guide route search device basically includes specification means, calculation means, judgment means, and selection means. The specification means specifies a plurality of locations. The calculation means calculates the arrival time at each of the locations when successively visiting them with a certain via-sequence while eliminating passing through a place which may be congested. The judgment means judges whether the arrival time of each location calculated is matched with the arrival time condition at each location. The selection means selects the via-sequence where the judgment means has judged that the conditions are matched at all the locations specified, as a via-sequence of the guide route. Thus, it is possible to find a guide route via a plurality of via-locations so that a stay with a desired state can be realized at each via-location.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2005Publication date: May 22, 2008Inventors: Masaki Kaneda, Masahiro Ueno, Hiromi Akiyoshi
