  • Patent number: 11981100
    Abstract: A tire vulcanization system is configured to deliver a vulcanized tire carried out from a vulcanizer by a tire conveyance device to a PCI device at a first position, and attaches an upper lid. The PCI device mounted with the upper lid is moved from the first position to a second position by a PCI moving portion. The tire conveyance device is configured to receive the raw tire disposed above the PCI device moved to the second position and carry the raw tire into the vulcanizer.

  • Publication number: 20240029473
    Abstract: An accessibility determination device may include an imaging device that captures images of a surrounding environment of a user at time intervals to acquire a plurality of captured images; a facial organ detector that analyzes the captured images to detect a facial organ of a person that makes a notification to the user when the accessibility determined by processor satisfies a predetermined criterion and the target detector detects that the person is the predetermined target person. The processor may change the accessibility or the predetermined criterion depending on a distance between the imaging device and the person.

  • Publication number: 20230338223
    Abstract: A movement support device comprises: an imaging device that acquires a captured image; a controller that calculates a safety degree based on the captured image; a storage that stores a necessary safety degree table in which a predetermined action candidate as an action that can be executed by the user and a necessary safety degree indicating a safety degree necessary for the user to safely perform an action indicated by the predetermined action candidate are stored in association with each other; an input unit that receives input of a selection operation by the user to select an action candidate desired by the user from among the predetermined action candidates; and an output unit.

  • Patent number: 11681496
    Abstract: A communication support device comprises an imaging unit, a counterpart detector, a distance measuring unit, a expression determination unit, a motion determination unit, and a voice output unit. The imaging unit captures an image of a surrounding environment of a user. The counterpart detector detects a predetermined counterpart in the captured image. The distance measuring unit measures a distance between the counterpart and the imaging unit based on the captured image. The expression determination unit determines a facial expression of the counterpart based on the captured image. The motion determination unit determines a motion of the counterpart based on the captured image. The voice output unit notifies the user of identification information for identifying the counterpart by a voice when the distance measured by the distance measuring unit is an interaction distance of a first threshold or less.

  • Publication number: 20220036566
    Abstract: The communication support device comprises an imaging unit, a counterpart detector, a priority level setting unit, a priority determination unit, and a notification unit. The imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding environment of a user to acquire a captured image. The counterpart detector detects a plurality of predetermined counterparts in the captured image. The a priority level setting unit sets priority levels respectively for the plurality of counterparts based on a predetermined relationship between the user and each of the plurality of counterparts. The priority determination unit determines priorities of the plurality of counterparts based on the priority levels. The notification unit selects information regarding the plurality of counterparts based on the priorities and notifies the user of the selected information.

  • Patent number: 7234659
    Abstract: An automatically swiveling crushing apparatus has a swiveling motor in a bracket, and branches diverged from charging and discharging paths that constitute the hydraulic piping leading to a cylinder for closing or opening distal crushing arms. One of the branches extends from one of the paths then operating to open the end arms, so that a portion of the hydraulic fluid is fed to the hydraulic motor if and when internal pressure in this branch has exceeded an upper limit. The other branch extends from the other path leading to the cylinder so as to close the end arms, and this branch prevents any amount of hydraulic fluid from flowing back to the motor. The branches render dispensable a discrete or independent hydraulic piping in a self-propelled platform having a proximal working arm to be connected to the apparatus, saving cost and labor in connecting this arm to the apparatus.
