Patent number: 11475231Abstract: A survey machine capturing control part captures a captured image including a 2D mark on a survey object using a telescope. A survey machine recognizing control part detects a 2D mark image as a captured pattern, and recognizes a specific identification pattern by collating the detected captured pattern with an identification pattern of a 2D mark. A survey machine information displaying control part acquires and displays survey information on the captured image. A calculating control part calculates differences between a mark center position of 2D coordinates and a center position of 2D coordinates of a crosshair of the telescope. An adjusting control part adjusts a direction of the telescope so that the center position of the crosshair matches the mark center position. A ranging control part ranges the mark center position as measured values of coordinates. An information storing control part stores the measured values in the mark information table.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: KEISOKUGIKEN CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshito Hashimura, Shoji Fujiwara, Yuta Suhara

Patent number: 10934962Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis device of an in-cylinder pressure sensor is provided. The device carries out a performance determination in which a performance quality of the sensor is determined based on an electric signal inputted from the sensor. The device carries out a first determination in which the performance determination is performed at a given timing, a performance recovery in which a given deposit removal control is executed in which a deposit accumulating inside the combustion chamber is removed when the performance quality of the in-cylinder pressure sensor is determined to fall below a given reference value, and a second determination in which the performance determination is carried out again after the performance recovery. In the second determination, the in-cylinder pressure sensor is diagnosed as abnormal when the performance quality of the sensor is determined to fall below the given reference value.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Shoji Fujiwara, Hidetoshi Hashimoto, Takuji Okumura, Shigeru Nakagawa, Yasushi Torii, Masayuki Kinoshita, Yuichiro Tsumura, Daisuke Tanaka, Taiki Maiguma

Patent number: 10876488Abstract: A failure diagnosis device for an in-cylinder pressure sensor is provided, which includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor, and an engine controller comprised of circuitry configured to execute a diagnosis module into which a signal of the sensor is inputted, to diagnose a failure of the sensor based on the signal. The diagnosis module includes a reading module configured to read the signal of the sensor within a specific crank angle range, a reference phase determining module configured to determine a reference phase that is a phase of a pressure change accompanying a volume change of the combustion chamber, and a failure determining module configured to determine that the sensor has failed, when the failure determining module determines a phase of the read signal of the sensor is delayed by an amount exceeding a predefined threshold from the determined reference phase.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Shoji Fujiwara, Hidetoshi Hashimoto, Takuji Okumura, Shigeru Nakagawa, Yasushi Torii, Masayuki Kinoshita, Yuichiro Tsumura, Daisuke Tanaka, Taiki Maiguma

Patent number: 10815917Abstract: A failure diagnosis system for an in-cylinder pressure sensor is provided, which includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor, a fuel injection valve, an engine controller including an engine control module and a diagnosis module. The engine control module controls the fuel injection valve to stop the supply of fuel to the engine, when a fuel cut condition is satisfied while the automobile travels. The diagnosis module includes a limiting module configured to limit an execution of the failure diagnosis of the in-cylinder pressure sensor until the diagnosis module determines that a given period has lapsed after the stop of fuel supply to the engine. The diagnosis module reads a signal of the in-cylinder pressure sensor when the given period has lapsed after the stop of the fuel supply to the engine, and diagnoses the failure of the in-cylinder pressure sensor based on the read signal of the in-cylinder pressure sensor.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Shoji Fujiwara, Hidetoshi Hashimoto, Takuji Okumura, Shigeru Nakagawa, Yasushi Torii, Masayuki Kinoshita, Yuichiro Tsumura, Daisuke Tanaka, Taiki Maiguma

Patent number: 10767592Abstract: A failure diagnosis device for an in-cylinder pressure sensor includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor, and a controller comprised of circuitry configured to execute a diagnosis module into which a signal of the in-cylinder pressure sensor is inputted and configured to diagnose a failure of the sensor based on the signal. The diagnosis module includes a reading module configured to read the signals of the in-cylinder pressure sensor at a first timing that is a timing retarded by a specific crank angle from a compression top dead center, and at a second timing that is a timing advanced by the specific crank angle from the compression top dead center, and a failure determining module configured to determine that the in-cylinder pressure sensor has failed when the failure determining module determines that a difference between signal values at the first timing and at the second timing exceeds a predefined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Shoji Fujiwara, Hidetoshi Hashimoto, Takuji Okumura, Shigeru Nakagawa, Yasushi Torii, Masayuki Kinoshita, Yuichiro Tsumura, Daisuke Tanaka, Taiki Maiguma

Patent number: 6159064Abstract: A swimming fin includes a blade and a foot pocket, the blade including a relatively long first blade and a short second blade. The second blade underlies a bottom surface of the first blade and has transversely opposite side edge regions longitudinally extending inside transversely opposite side edges of the first blade and an intermediate region extending between the side edge regions and having its front end curved toward the foot pocket. The swimming fin thus formed can strengthen a thrust obtained by down-kicking movement of the swimming fin to thereby facilitate the up-kicking movement of the swimming fin.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Tabata Co.
