Patent number: 11027369Abstract: According to one implementation, a laser peening processing device includes a laser peening processing device includes a laser oscillator, a nozzle and an inclining structure. The laser oscillator emits laser light. The nozzle condenses and irradiates the laser light toward a surface to be processed of a workpiece, with injecting liquid toward the surface to be processed. The inclining structure inclines at least one of the nozzle and the workpiece to make an injection direction of the liquid be different from a normal direction of the surface to be processed. The air bubbles arising by at least one of collision between the liquid and the surface to be processed and shock by irradiation of the laser light on the surface to be processed are flowed in a direction depending on an inclined direction of the surface to the injection direction of the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: FUJI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Mayu Nakano, Takafumi Adachi

Patent number: 10303359Abstract: A character input device that sets a keyboard image and an input character display area on a touch panel, the keyboard image including a plurality of character keys and that receives operation on the keyboard image. The character input device identifies a subregion including a touch detection point from among subregions set based on the defining information relating a character key detected to be touched, and sets a plurality of discriminating regions so that the discriminating regions are distributed based on the identified subregion. Each of the plurality of discriminating regions corresponds to the plurality of characters assigned to the character key. When a touch release is detected, a character that corresponds to the discriminating region including the detection point of the touch release is selected as an input character. The character is then displayed on the input character display area of the touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Mayu Nakano, Takuya Nakayama

Patent number: 10198179Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium includes a character input system including a first band-shaped key area displayed including the characters of character groups including representative characters lined up one by one. When a touch point is detected in this area, a second band-shaped key area is displayed including the characters of the group including the representative characters lined up at that detection position. When movement of a touch point from the first band-shaped key area to the second band-shaped key area is detected, a band-shaped candidate area is displayed including candidate character strings matching the characters in a line at that movement position. These areas are arranged in the width direction and with their orientations aligned. When the touch point disappears after moving from the second band-shaped key area to the band-shaped candidate area, the candidate character string displayed at that disappearance position is confirmed as the input character string.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Ukai, Takuya Nakayama, Mayu Nakano, Tomoya Sakata

Patent number: 9552351Abstract: An information processing system for input prediction that displays written character string candidates of words or phrases corresponding to an input character string in a terminal device. The terminal device acquires internal candidates by performing a search based on the input character string and transmits a candidate transmission request signal including identification information of a terminal dictionary stored in the terminal device and the input character string to a server. The server performs a search through the terminal dictionary corresponding to the identification information in the received signal and through a server dictionary dedicated to the server. From dictionary data extracted from the server dictionary, the server returns dictionary data of external candidates different from dictionary data extracted from the terminal dictionary as external candidates to the terminal device.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Masaharu Ueda, Chihoka Moribe, Mayu Nakano, Takuya Nakayama
