Patent number: 10705025Abstract: An inspection device includes a wearable camera attached to a worker that images an inspection object, and a laser pointer that indicates an imaging region of the wearable camera to the worker. The laser pointer is attached to the worker to emit a laser beam in a direction parallel to a line of sight of the wearable camera such that a relative distance between a light point of the laser beam and the imaging region of the wearable camera is constant and does not vary depending on a distance between the laser pointer and the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shinji Kato, Katsuhiro Miyagaki, Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, Masaru Horiguchi, Kohei Nakamura

Patent number: 6897460Abstract: When an ultraviolet pasteurizer is used in a room free of a person, left and right light shield doors are opened to expose ultraviolet lamps outwardly. When an operation switch on a control panel is then turned on, an operation start timer is actuated, and the ultraviolet lamps are then energized to sterilize surrounding surfaces after elapse of 5 minutes. When the ultraviolet pasteurizer is used in a room occupied by a person, the left and right light shield doors are closed to direct the ultraviolet lamps inwardly until all light shield doors are brought into a substantially triangular prism. When the operation switch on the control panel is then turned on, the ultraviolet lamps and a fan are energized to draw external air from an air inlet. The drawn air passes through an inner radiation chamber defined inwardly of the light shield doors that have been combined into the substantially triangular prism.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2001Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha TopInventors: Susumu Kobayashi, Masaru Horiguchi
