  • Patent number: 11279299
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera holder has a universal head, a fixing member, a fall prevention member, and a coupling member. A camera is attached to the universal head. The universal head is able to adjust a tilting angle of the camera. The fixing member is detachably adsorbed to a vehicle body. The fixing member fixes the universal head to the vehicle body such that a horizontal image capturing angle of the camera attached to the universal head is able to be adjusted. The fall prevention member has an adsorption portion. The adsorption portion is detachably attached to a place spaced apart from an attachment place of the fixing member and on an upper surface of the vehicle body in front of the fixing member. A coupling member causes the fixing member and the fall prevention member to be coupled to each other.

  • Patent number: 11256930
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a road surface management system inputs image data of road surface and capturing information of each of the image data and registers them. The image data are collected by repeatedly capturing a same route at predetermined distance. The capturing information includes information of a location and time at time of capturing. The system selects old and new images at a same spot from the registered image data, performs an association process, extracts an original image which is an old image at an arbitrary spot and a target image which is a new image associated with the original image unit based on the result of the association process, and outputs the original image and the target image.

  • Patent number: 7424305
    Abstract: A base station communicates with plural mobile stations using a common channel common to the mobile stations, and a predetermined number of a plurality of shared channels assigned to the mobile stations. The base station includes a scheduler that acquires, for each of the mobile stations, a transmitting power ratio being a ratio of a mobile station assigning power, which is a sum of transmitting powers of the shared channels assigned to the mobile station, and a transmitting power of the common channel. The scheduler determines the mobile station assigning power of the mobile station and then selects communication destination mobile stations, so that a sum of the mobile station assigning powers does not exceed a predetermined maximum assignable power.

  • Publication number: 20040128114
    Abstract: In a monitoring control system that employs a simple network management protocol, an operations system sends Set Request including a block request to a device to be operated when a specific hardware in the device is to set to a block status. A controller in the device that receives the block request starts a block processing to the designated specific hardware, changes a status of an item in a management information base related to the block of the hardware to a block status, sends back Get Response including a change result to the operations system. The controller then generates Trap including a request ID that indicates the block request, and sends the Trap to the operations system when completing the block processing.
