Patents by Inventor Mototoshi Kumaoka

Mototoshi Kumaoka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9492884
    Abstract: In a laser processing machine 100 including a plurality of element units containing at least a laser blower unit 3, an optical-path purge unit 24, and a temperature controlling unit 8, a measurement unit and a control unit 10 are provided. The measurement unit measures an elapsed time from a final trigger at which a laser processing operation of the laser processing machine has stopped and no user operation is applied with respect to the laser processing machine. The control unit 10 stops the element units based on the elapsed time after the final trigger, when a condition specified for each of the element units is satisfied.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8576891
    Abstract: The sealed gas laser oscillator that includes the airtight vessel, the laser gas supply source that supplies a laser gas to the airtight vessel, and the vacuum pump that performs evacuation until a pressure of an inside of the airtight vessel reaches a target reached pressure every predetermined interval between laser gas exchanges and is connected to the airtight vessel, and that performs laser oscillation in a state where the airtight vessel is filled with the laser gas. The gas laser oscillator includes a unit that determines the target reached pressure on the basis of the interval between laser gas exchanges, a leakage rate of an impurity gas from the outside to the airtight vessel after evacuation, and an allowable impurity gas pressure at which the gas laser oscillator is capable of being operated.
