Patent number: 12007822Abstract: A power supply shutoff device includes a movable section, a driving section, a power supply device, a power distribution section, an electric power supply circuit, and a supply control section. The movable section is configured to travel on a traveling path provided along a board production line in which multiple board work machines, which perform a predetermined board work on a board, are installed side by side. The driving section is provided in the movable section and configured to cause the movable section to travel by using supply electric power supplied from the board work machine with non-contact power feeding. The supply control section is configured to stop a supply of the electric power to the electric power supply circuit when drive electric power for driving the board work machine is shut off in at least one board work machine among the multiple board work machines.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Shingo Fujimura, Sota Mizuno, Yusuke Saito, Takeshi Aoki, Masato Yamagiwa, Takashi Hirano, Shigenori Tanakamaru

Patent number: 11751374Abstract: An automated replacement device moves in a right-left direction along a front surface of production line including multiple machines. The automated replacement device moves to a front side of an instructed machine among the multiple machines to perform an automated replacement operation on the machine. A periphery monitoring device monitors a safety area set in a periphery of the automated replacement device to stop an operation of the automated replacement device in an emergency manner when a person or an obstacle is detected in the safety area and alarm device sounds an alarm to notify that the automated replacement device is moving, in which the periphery monitoring device is switched such that a range of the safety area during the movement of the automated replacement device is smaller than a range of the safety area during the automated replacement operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Sota Mizuno, Masashi Kimura

Publication number: 20220295680Abstract: A periphery monitoring device includes monitoring areas in at least three directions of moving body. Safety laser scanners are mounted to the moving body for each of the monitoring areas in the directions. A monitoring area in at least one direction is a three-dimensional monitoring area, and a monitoring area in the other direction is a horizontal monitoring area to be monitored in two dimensions in a horizontal direction. The safety laser scanner configured to monitor the three-dimensional monitoring area is mounted to an upper portion of the moving body, and the three-dimensional monitoring area forms an inclined plane-like monitoring area. A safety laser scanner configured to monitor the horizontal monitoring area is mounted to the lower portion of the moving body, and the horizontal monitoring area forms a horizontal plane-like monitoring area from the lower portion of the moving body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Masashi KIMURA, Sota MIZUNO

Patent number: 8782718Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication system includes a transmitter and a switch. The transmitter transmits, to a television receiver, an address used to access a server on a network used by a mobile terminal. The switch automatically switches, after the address is transmitted, the display of the mobile terminal to an operation display that displays an operation element suitable for the operation state of the television receiver.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Junichi Nagata, Sota Mizuno, Tatsuro Saitou

Publication number: 20130179928Abstract: According to one embodiment, a mobile terminal and a television receiver, and a communication system which includes the mobile terminal and the television receiver are provided. In the communication system, the mobile terminal and the television receiver are configured to be interactively communicable with each other. The mobile terminal which uses a first address on a network, converts the first address into a second address suitable for the performance of the television receiver and usable by the television receiver. The television receiver automatically activates an application for displaying the data acquired using the second address.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Inventors: Junichi Nagata, Sota Mizuno, Tatsuro Saitou

Publication number: 20130176500Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication system includes a transmitter, a power-on unit and an activating unit. The transmitter transmits, to a television receiver, an address on a network used by a mobile terminal. If the transmitter transmits the address, the power-on unit causes the television receiver to be in a power-on state. The activating unit automatically activates an application for displaying content acquired by the television receiver using the address.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Inventors: Junichi Nagata, Sota Mizuno, Tatsuro Saitou
