  • Patent number: 6817997
    Abstract: A laser treatment apparatus for performing treatment on a treatment part of a skin by irradiating the part with a laser beam for treatment is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a window having an optical property of transmitting the treatment beam, the window being brought into contact with the skin for laser irradiation; a window cooling unit; a contact-state detector which detects a contact state of the window with the skin; and a controller which changes a cooling control temperature of the cooling unit from a predetermined first temperature which is previously set higher than 0° C. to a predetermined second temperature lower than the first temperature when the contact-state detector detects that the window is in contact with the skin.

  • Patent number: 6755635
    Abstract: There is disclosed a mold protection apparatus of an injection molding machine in which a cross head position and movable mold position are read from a correspondence table, a calculator calculates a thrust force limit value set with respect to a movable mold, and a cross head position controller controls a thrust force of the cross head in the corresponding position via a servomotor, so that the thrust force of the cross head is controlled to indicate a limit value or less in accordance with position of the movable mold.

  • Patent number: 6695835
    Abstract: A laser treatment apparatus for performing treatment on a treatment part of a skin by irradiating the part with a laser beam for treatment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a laser output device which outputs the treatment beam; a hand-piece provided with at least a part of an irradiation optical system for irradiating the treatment beam of a predetermined spot size, the hand-piece being held in contact with the skin; a detector which detects a moved position of the hand-piece on the skin; and a controller which controls an ON/OFF state of laser irradiation based on the moved position detected by the detector and information on the spot size.

  • Patent number: 6695995
    Abstract: A cross head position corresponding to a movable mold position set by a movable mold position setting unit is read out from a correspondence table, the position of the cross head is controlled by a cross head position controlling unit via a servo-motor, and the position of the cross head is converted into a position of the movable mold, whereby target position setting of the movable mold is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6457964
    Abstract: In a position control apparatus, the rate and the torque of the servomotor are monitored, wherein when it is detected that the servomotor is locked, the torque is limited, so that renewal of a command position to be supplied to the servomotor driving unit is stopped.
