  • Patent number: 11960527
    Abstract: A buried object information management unit manages information about a buried object included in a search image showing the presence or absence of the buried object in a wall surface generated by a buried object scanning device that is scanned along a wall surface, and comprises a data receiving unit, an input unit, and a collation unit. The data receiving unit acquires search information including the search image generated by the buried object scanning device. To the input unit is inputted construction information including position information about the buried object in the wall surface. The collation unit collates the search information acquired by the data receiving unit with the construction information inputted to the input unit, and determines whether or not there is a match.

  • Publication number: 20240088756
    Abstract: A motor monitoring sensor is continuously operable at a lower cost. The motor monitoring sensor includes an acceleration sensor attachable to a motor to be monitored to detect vibration of the motor, a processor that generates state information indicating a state of the motor based on a detection value indicating the vibration of the motor detected by the acceleration sensor, a transmitter that transmits the generated state information to a host device, and a vibration-powered generator attachable to the motor to generate power with the vibration of the motor and supply the generated power to the acceleration sensor, the processor, and the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20230204818
    Abstract: A raindrop detection device 10 includes an LED 11, a photodiode 14, a microprocessor 20, and an LED flashing circuit 22. The LED 11 emits light in a specific direction. The photodiode 14 is disposed at a position opposite the LED 11 and receives light emitted from the LED 11. The microprocessor 20 detects raindrops that have passed between the LED 11 and the photodiode 14, according to the change in the amount of light received by the photodiode 14. The LED flashing circuit 22 controls the on and off switching of light emitted from the LED 11.

  • Publication number: 20220128725
    Abstract: A buried object scanning device 10 includes a capacitance sensor 13, a search image conversion processing unit 25, a memory unit 22, a display unit 12, an operation input unit 15, and a display control unit 30. The capacitance sensor 13 detects a buried object 51. The search image conversion processing unit 25 converts the detection result of the capacitance sensor 13 into a search image. The memory unit 22 stores search images and a grid layer including grid lines corresponding to a specific scale. The display unit 12 displays the search images and the grid layer. The display control unit 30 controls the display unit 12 so as to display the search image superimposed with the grid layer and to display the search image in a state of being movable relative to the grid layer, in response to input to the operation input unit 15.

  • Publication number: 20220130034
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a dimensional information management device with which search information about a buried object in a target can be effectively utilized, and the burden on the worker can be reduced, as well as a dimensional information management system comprising this dimensional information management device. A dimensional information management device 40 manages dimensional information about a buried object 51 included in a search image showing the presence or absence of the buried object in a wall surface 50 generated by a buried object scanning device 10 that has been scanned along the wall surface 50, said dimensional information management device comprising a data receiving unit 41 and a memory unit 43. The data receiving unit 41 acquires search information including a search image from the buried object scanning device 10. The memory unit 43 stores the search information acquired by the data receiving unit 41.

  • Patent number: 9141849
    Abstract: A suspicious person determination unit determines whether the face image of a matching target person is registered in a biological information DB by a matching result of a matching unit. When the face image of the matching target person is registered, area storage stores a specified area while correlating the specified area with a personal ID. A provisional registration unit makes a provisional registration of a suspicious person flag while correlating the suspicious person flag with the personal ID when a pattern of the specified area is a behavioral pattern of a suspicious person. A definitive registration unit makes a definitive registration of the suspicious person flag while correlating with the personal ID, when the provisional registration of the suspicious person flag is made for the face image of the matching target person, and when the face image of the matching target person is captured at a premium exchange counter.

  • Patent number: 9092663
    Abstract: An entrance and in-store matching unit searches a first mismatched face image that is not matched with a face image captured at an entrance from all face images, which are captured in a store and registered in a biological information DB. An entrance and exit matching unit searches a second mismatched face image that is not matched with a face image captured at an entrance from all the face images, which are captured at an exit and registered in the biological information DB. An exit and in-store matching unit searches a matched face image that is matched with the second mismatched face image among the first mismatched face images. An entrance information registration unit registers the searched matched face image in the biological information DB as the face image captured at the entrance. The present invention can be applied to a monitoring system.
