  • Patent number: 11450186
    Abstract: There is provided a person monitoring system including at least one camera and a server that is communicably connected to the at least one camera. The server, based on reception of detection information of a predetermined event from a gate that regulates passage in response to a detection of the predetermined event, requests a first camera, that captures an image of a capturing area including the gate, for a face image of a person near the gate when the predetermined event occurs. The first camera captures an image of the person near the gate when the predetermined event occurs and transmits, to the server, a face image obtained by cutting out a range having a face of the person from the image of the person. The server outputs alarm information based on the face image and register the face image in a database.

  • Patent number: 10791395
    Abstract: A flying object detection system includes a sensor including a microphone array configured to collect a sound in a first detection area of a monitoring area, a radar configured to measure a distance to a flying object by detecting the flying object in flight in a second detection area of the monitoring area, and a control device configured to detect presence or absence of the flying object based on sound data on the sound in the first detection area collected by the microphone array, and configured to receive the distance to the flying object. The control device is configured to display information on a position of the flying object viewed from arrangement places of the sensor and the radar based on the distance to the flying object and a detection output of the flying object by the radar on a first monitor.

  • Patent number: 10592731
    Abstract: A statistical processing is performed without performing complicated determination, so as not to repetitively include the same person. A facial feature extractor (32) in a facial recognition server (30) extracts features of facial image data including a face which is shown in an image obtained by a camera device (10) imaging an imaging area. A preservation unit (35) preserves features of facial image data including a face which has passed through the imaging area, in a pre-passing comparative original facial feature data memory (41).

  • Patent number: 6768118
    Abstract: The present invention provides a beam monitoring sensor which can offer both high beam monitoring precision and high speed monitoring in a multi-electron beam writing system and a monitoring method using the same. In a Faraday cup for electron beam monitoring, tantalum or a heavy metal material having an atomic number larger than that of tantalum is used to provide a Faraday cup construction having a high aspect ratio. The micro Faraday cup permits electron beam monitoring having less beam leak to a high acceleration electron beam.

  • Patent number: 6730916
    Abstract: An electron beam lithography apparatus of the present invention prevents the electron beam trajectory from being affected by a leakage magnetic field from a permanent magnet which is used as a sample stage guide/driving mechanism. In this electron beam lithography apparatus, an air bearing guide is used as a sample stage guide mechanism, and the stage posture is held by attracting the stage floating on a surface plate to the surface plate side by the permanent magnet. To avoid the leakage magnetic field from the permanent magnet from affecting the electron beam irradiation position on the sample, the permanent magnet is magnetically shielded by a shield member. In addition, to reduce variations in magnetic field above the sample, which are generated when the shield member moves in a leakage magnetic field from the electron lens, another shield member is arranged under the electron lens.
