Patents by Inventor Norio Ahiko

Norio Ahiko 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).

  • Active sensor, multipoint active sensor, method for diagnosing deterioration of pipe, and apparatus for diagnosing deterioration of pipe, and apparatus for diagnosis deterioration of pipe
    Patent number: 7711217
    Abstract: An active sensor 10 is positioned on an outside of a pipe 60 so as to detect a thickness of the pipe. The active sensor comprises: an oscillator 15 capable of inputting oscillatory waves into the pipe and sweeping a frequency of the oscillatory waves within a desired range; and an optical fiber sensor mounted on the pipe, the optical fiber sensor detecting the oscillatory waves generated in the pipe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 4, 2010
    Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Lazoc Incorporated
    Inventors: Masashi Takahashi, Keiichi Sasaki, Nobuo Yamaga, Norio Ahiko, Koichi Yoshimura, Masanobu Ohi, Yoshio Mochida, Yuuichi Machijima, Takehiro Shirai
  • Parts counting device, parts counting program, and parts counting method of 3-dimensional arrangement adjustment CAD
    Patent number: 7698643
    Abstract: A quantity totalizer for a three-dimensional arrangement and adjustment CAD includes integrating means for referring to parts information stored in the three-dimensional arrangement and adjustment CAD and associating line information, which is separated from the parts information for storage and which is unique to a line, with the parts information to generate integrated information in which the quantity of parts is totalized; numbering means for systematically numbering the integrated information and outputting a quantity totalization result; and comparing means for comparing the quantity totalization result output by the numbering means with a parts number column in a design drawing produced with the three-dimensional arrangement and adjustment CAD to check the parts having the same parts information and line information against each other and replacing parts numbers in the parts number column in the design drawing produced with the three-dimensional arrangement and adjustment CAD with parts numbers in the
