Patent number: 11167414Abstract: A robot includes a robot body, a control processor, a detection circuit, a memory, and a determining circuit. The control processor is configured to control the robot body to perform a work on a workpiece while the workpiece is conveyed. The detection circuit is configured to detect external force which the robot body receives from the workpiece. The memory is to store a threshold force. The determining circuit is configured to determine whether the external force is equal to or larger than the threshold force.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA YASKAWA DENKIInventors: Takeshi Yokoyama, Takahiko Kanamori, Keisuke Yonehara

Patent number: 7551244Abstract: An optical element comprises a pair of substrates each having an electrode and bonded together with a gap therebetween and a light adjusting material including a liquid crystal and enclosed in the gap. Each of the pair of substrates has an electrode connecting portion to be connected to an external circuit. At least a part of the electrode connecting portion of each of the substrates is located on the same side as that of the optical element. The electrode connecting portion of one of the substrates and the electrode connecting portion of the other of the substrates have respective electrode portions at regions that are not opposed to each other. The electrode portion of each of the electrode connecting portions is connected to the external circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignees: NEC Corporation, NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd., SEIKO Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Mimura, Ken Sumiyoshi, Fujio Okumura, Shigetoshi Hayata, Tamio Uchino, Yoshiaki Furuya, Youhei Saitou, Katsuhisa Ishii, Takahiko Kanamori
