Patent number: 11835412Abstract: Provided is a digitalization system capable of digitalizing the skills of delicate work. This digitalization system comprises a first sensor mounted on a work tool and which detects a deformation of the work tool when the work tool is pressed against a work target, a second sensor which detects a force applied to the work target or a force applied to the work tool when the work tool is pressed against the work target, and a computer which calculates an angle of a corner formed with the work tool and the work target based on sensor values acquired with the first sensor, and calculates a force applied to the work target when the work tool is pressed against the work target based on sensor values acquired with the second sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Yoshimoto, Ryotaro Kawahara, Ryohei Matsui, Nobuyuki Sugii, Tsuneya Kurihara, Hirohiko Sagawa, Naoko Ushio, Motoki Tajima, Shingo Kirita

Patent number: 11562567Abstract: To accurately recognize observed objects. An observed-object recognition system includes an observation region estimation portion, an existence region estimation portion, and an object recognition portion. The observation region estimation portion estimates an observation region that is relatively highly likely to be an observation point in at least one first-person image in a first-person video (a video based on the first-person perspective). Based on the observation region, the existence region estimation portion estimates an existence region that belongs to the first-person image and causes an observed object to exist. The object recognition portion recognizes an object in the estimated existence region of the first-person image.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Ohashi, Katsuyuki Nakamura, Hiroyuki Yoshimoto, Naoko Ushio

PRESSURE SENSOR DEVICE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND WORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING THE SAME
Publication number: 20220342480Abstract: A pressure sensor device, a method for manufacturing the pressure sensor device, and a work management system mitigating a degree of a false detection is presented. The pressure sensor device detecting pressure includes a flexible substrate base material having flexibility; a comb-teeth shape electrode having an exposed metal surface formed in a predetermined area on the flexible substrate base material; and a pressure-sensitive material that is provided on the comb-teeth shape electrode, varies in a resistance value depending on an amount of a load, and has a curvature in a static state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Ryohei MATSUI, Ryotaro KAWAHARA, Tetsufumi KAWAMURA, Nobuyuki SUGII, Naoko USHIO, Hiroyuki YOSHIMOTO -

Patent number: 9412557Abstract: The movement distance of a second adjustment slider 204 is made shorter than that of a first adjustment slider 205 if the first adjustment slider 205 is positioned in a displayed range, except at both ends thereof, of a set value adjustment axis 203 in a first set value adjustment axis display part 202. The first adjustment slider 205 is kept unmoved while the second adjustment slider 204 alone is moved in the direction of one of both ends of the displayed range if the first adjustment slider 205 is positioned at least at the one of both ends of the displayed range of the set value adjustment axis 203 in the first set value adjustment axis display part 202, if the second adjustment slider 204 is also positioned in the displayed range except at the both ends thereof, and if the first adjustment slider 205 is to be selectively operated by a cursor 220. This structure allows coarse and fine adjustments of set values for operation control to be carried out easily and accurately.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Mitsugu Yamashita, Tohru Ando, Yayoi Konishi, Shoutarou Tamayama, Naoko Ushio, Masaki Takano
