Patent number: 11933745Abstract: According to an embodiment, an inspection apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface acquires package information regarding a package being conveyed by a sorter that sorts the package and an operation signal generated based on an operation of an operator. The processor outputs reference information, based on past history in which inspection-result information indicating whether or not the package is a regulated-article candidate, generated based on the operation signal, and the package information are associated together, and the package information newly acquired.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA, Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions CorporationInventors: Yuka Watanabe, Takuma Akagi, Masanori Sato, Kenichi Shimoyama

Patent number: 9742257Abstract: A camera shake correction apparatus includes a target position setting unit, a current setting unit, a driving unit, a magnetic flux detector, and an arithmetic unit. The target position setting unit sets a target position of a movable member. The current setting unit sets a current value to move the movable member to the target position. The driving unit drives the movable member with respect to a fixed member based on the set current set value. The magnetic flux detector detects a magnetic flux value changed with movement of the movable member. The arithmetic unit calculates a third magnetic flux value by subtracting a second magnetic flux value estimated to be generated from the driving unit based on the current set value from a first magnetic flux value actually detected by the magnetic flux detector.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventor: Masanori Shimoyama
