Publication number: 20240096198Abstract: An area determination apparatus (2000) acquires three-dimensional facility data (20). The three-dimensional facility data (20) is three-dimensional data of a target facility including a plurality of segments. The area determination apparatus (2000) determines a designated segment, which is a segment designated in an input screen (10) including an image of the target facility. The area determination apparatus (2000) determines, as a monitoring area or a non-monitoring area, a three-dimensional area that is determined based on three-dimensional segment data (22) of the designated segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Akira Tsuji, Shigeo Suzuki, Hiroshi Matsumoto, Takanori Shigeta

Patent number: 6186851Abstract: This invention secures the breakdown voltage between stem pins or the like for high voltage service in a cathode ray tube. This insulator formed is of a clay-like silicone compound having a tip-throughhole and pin-throughholes or a stem base with the electric insulator mounted to the stem base: A inter-stem electric insulation device is structured by mounting either one of the electric insulator or the stem base with the electric insulator to the stem of a cathode ray tube and by pressing to fix together. This structure does not occur bubble generation caused by the electric insulator, and makes the handling easy, and furthermore, accomplish an automatic mounting of the electric insulator to a stem.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shigeo Matsumoto, Takashi Setsuda, Haruo Ito, Kazuyuki Ota

Patent number: 5722296Abstract: A ball joint connects a swinging shaft and a bell-crank provided on a change lever for transmitting a swinging movement of the change lever in a select direction to the bell-crank. The ball joint includes a ball having a pair of flat surfaces for defining a width smaller than the maximum diameter of the ball, a ball hole which is formed at one end of the bell-crank and in which the ball is rotatably fitted, a shaft hole which formed in the ball so as to open through both the flat surface and in which the swinging shaft of the change lever is slidably fitted. A rotation of the ball in the ball hole permits a relative swinging movement between the swinging shaft and the bell-crank. A sliding movement of the swinging shaft in the shaft hole permits an axial displacement of the swinging shaft with respect to the bell-crank.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha AtsumitecInventors: Yukio Nishigai, Shigeo Matsumoto
