  • Patent number: 12154330
    Abstract: The space recognition system includes: an information terminal of a user having a function of displaying an image on a display surface and having a terminal coordinate system WA; and a label which is provided to correspond to a space and in which information for identifying the space is described. When recognizing the space, the information terminal specifies space data in which the space and the label are described in a space coordinate system W1 by using the information read from recognition of the label, measures relations in a position and a direction between the information terminal and the label by using the space data, and adapts the terminal coordinate system WA to the space coordinate system W1, based on data representing the measured relations.

  • Publication number: 20240303018
    Abstract: When an instruction from the user is received or when an event occurs and the head mounted processing apparatus is terminated, a key content pair information register is configured to associate a state of content at the time of the event occurrence with a registration key obtained from an image of a camera at the time of the event occurrence to store them in a memory as key content pair information. When the head mounted processing apparatus is activated, a key content pair restorer is configured to determine whether an image of the camera at the time of apparatus activation is made conformity with the registration key or not on the basis of the key content pair information, and restore the state of the content corresponding to the registration key made conformity with the image in a case where the image is made conformity with the registration key.

  • Patent number: 10987641
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a granulated body includes supplying powder agitated by a dry agitator to a wet agitator, and agitating the powder supplied from the dry agitator with a liquid component in the wet agitator by rotating blades that have inclined surfaces, so as to form a granulated body. The blades are rotated when the powder is supplied to the wet agitator from the dry agitator. The dry agitator agitates the powder in a dry state, and the wet agitator is positioned below the dry agitator. The wet agitator includes an agitation chamber and the blades rotating around a center axis orthogonal to a direction in which the powder is supplied.

  • Patent number: 10882013
    Abstract: A dry stirrer configured to stir powder in a dry state, and a wet stirrer provided downward of the dry stirrer in the vertical direction and configured to stir the powder are used. In the wet stirrer, the powder is stirred together with a fluid component, so that granules are formed. The wet stirrer includes a stirring chamber having a cylindrical shape and having a central axis placed in the lateral direction, a cut blade configured to rotate around the central axis of the cylindrical shape in the stirring chamber, and an agitating blade configured to rotate along an inner wall that is a cylindrical side face inside the stirring chamber. When the agitating blade passes above the central axis of the stirring chamber in the vertical direction, the agitating blade is rocked.
