Publication number: 20230073382Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of a practical level for performing sensor fusion of multiple vibration sensors such as a seismometer, and in an example, to extend a dynamic range of a high-sensitivity geophone by sensor fusion of the high-sensitivity geophone and a low-sensitivity acceleration geophone. A state related to the high-sensitivity geophone is estimated by capturing, in a Kalman filter, an acceleration record from the low-sensitivity acceleration geophone and a velocity record, or a displacement record, and an acceleration record of the high-sensitivity geophone, and estimating and calculating them as the linear Kalman filter problem with a control input. The high-sensitivity geophone is an actual device, but the state can be estimated using a sensor value of the low-sensitivity acceleration geophone even when the record is saturated. This extends the dynamic range of the high-sensitivity geophone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicants: TOKYO SOKUSHIN CO., LTD., KURAHASHI RUBBER INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Shigeo KINOSHITA, Shinsuke SATO

Patent number: 7139008Abstract: In a display apparatus, a luminance acquiring unit acquires luminance signals from inputted image signals. A difference calculating unit compares luminance signals of the current frame acquired by the luminance acquiring unit with those of a previous frame stored in a frame memory, and then takes a difference between these luminance signals. If the difference of the luminance is large, a judging unit judges that the image corresponding to a portion in question is moving. If the difference of the luminance is small, the judging unit judges that the image corresponding to the portion stays still. A gain calculating unit gradually lowers the luminance corresponding to a part where the image stays still, and gradually restores to the original level the luminance corresponding to a part where the image is moving.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Mori, Shigeo Kinoshita
