  • Patent number: 11044403
    Abstract: Power consumption needed to illuminate a subject is reduced and the subject is continuously monitored. Each of a plurality of light sources emits light to the subject. An imaging circuitry obtains a captured image by imaging the subject. A controller performs light emission control to change a light source that emits light from among the plurality of light sources and causes the imaging circuitry to image the subject. A determiner determines whether a detection target that is pre-determined exists in an image area that is a part of the captured image obtained by the imaging circuitry and corresponds to the light source that emits light during imaging for obtaining the captured image.

  • Patent number: 11014465
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic charging of electric vehicles in which a plug head of a charging unit is automatically received in a receiving compartment of a vehicle charger actuation device. A push wall of the vehicle charger actuation device is displaced into contact the plug head in a manner that facilitates rotation of the plug head into angular alignment with the plug head receptacle. The charging unit can align a position of the plug head with the plug head receptacle such that continued displacement of the push wall displaces the plug head to a position at which the plug head is electrically coupled to the plug head receptacle. After a charging event, the push wall moves away from the plug head receptacle and engages a pull rod that is coupled to a pin skirt such that the pin skirt is displaced in a direction that ejects the plug head from the plug head receptacle.

  • Patent number: 10941514
    Abstract: A drying apparatus according to the present invention and a laundry drying machine including the same circulate only some of humid air introduced from a drum and discharge the remaining humid air through a discharge port, and then introduce mixed air, in which external air introduced through an introduction port and circulated humid air are mixed, into the drying duct to supply the air to the drum. Accordingly, since air in which there is little moisture may be circulated, drying performance of the drying apparatus may be improved. Further, by disposing an introduction fan or a discharge fan adjacent to the discharge port and mixing the humid air with the external air, since the air of which the moisture amount is little may be discharged to the outside of a cabinet, or the air discharged through the discharge port may be quickly discharged to the outside of the cabinet by the discharge fan, occurrence of dew condensation in the cabinet may be prevented.
