Publication number: 20210059007Abstract: A wireless communication system allows the movement of a carriage or an automated conveyance vehicle to which a plurality of slave wireless device and a plurality of appliances are provided. A master control unit of a master wireless device uses a master communication unit to transmit a cut-off request signal to a slave wireless device deviating from a communication-target region. If a slave communication unit receives the cut-off request signal, a slave control unit of the slave wireless device cuts off a wireless connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2019Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: SMC CorporationInventors: Tomohiko AKI, Norimasa OZAKI

Publication number: 20190253640Abstract: To improve user operability. Provided is a Next change operating section that receives a changing operation on each item in a Next control data set being in a control state of a Next-use M/E of a switcher (vision mixer). When a changing operation is received in the Next change operating section, that is, when there is a changing operation, a control section changes contents of the Next control data set, and in accordance with the changed contents of the Next control data set, sends a control signal concerning the Next-use M/E to the switcher. A user can simply and easily change the contents of the Next control data set by operating the Next change operating section, and operability can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2017Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventors: SENSABURO NAKAMURA, HIDEHITO YAKUSHIJI, NORIMASA OZAKI, TAKAFUMI ITO, NAOMI EGASHIRA

Patent number: 10139247Abstract: A number n of Hall elements of a position detecting device output analog detection signals responsive to magnetism from a magnet of a piston. A number n of AD converters carry out analog to digital conversion to convert the analog detection signals into digital detection signals. A ladder circuit receives, as an n-bit digital signal, the digital detection signals output from a number n of magnetic detectors, and performs digital to analog conversion thereof into a single analog output signal. A control IC detects an approximate position of the piston on the basis of the single analog output signal that is input thereto.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Yamagishi, Tomohiko Aki, Norimasa Ozaki
