Publication number: 20240094370Abstract: According to one embodiment, a radar device comprises a panel including clusters and a controller. The controller is configured to cause a first cluster of the clusters to transmit an electromagnetic wave to a target, cause the first cluster and at least one second cluster adjacent to the first cluster to receive a reflected wave from the target, and cause the first cluster and the at least one second cluster to output a reception signal. At least one cluster other than the first cluster and other than the at least one second cluster does not output the reception signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Takashi SEKI, Akira MORIYA, Kazuhiro TSUJIMURA, Ryota SEKIYA, Hiroki MORI

Publication number: 20230353872Abstract: An information processing apparatus collects image data, performs a training process using the image data to create a trained model for autofocus (AF), and outputs the trained model to a requesting device. A terminal apparatus includes a communication function, and acquires the trained model output by the information processing apparatus. An electronic device includes an imaging function, acquires the trained model from the terminal apparatus, and performs autofocus on the basis of the trained model. When the electronic device performs autofocus to capture an image of an object and an intended spot is not automatically in-focus, a user registers the image data (out-of-focus image data) in the terminal apparatus. An AF point is designated in the out-of-focus image data. The information processing apparatus collects the out-of-focus image data from the terminal apparatus, and performs the training process using the out-of-focus image data to create and output the trained model.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2020Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventor: TAKASHI TSUJIMURA

Patent number: 10935919Abstract: An image forming apparatus forms a plurality of images of different colors on an intermediate transfer belt by a plurality of image forming portions. The image forming apparatus detects a color misregistration amount of the image formed on the intermediate transfer belt and performs image formation using a correction value based on the color misregistration amount. If an elapsed time from previous image formation is less than a predetermined time, the image forming apparatus predicts the correction value using the previous correction value and the temperature at that time and performs color misregistration correction. If the elapsed time from the previous image formation is a predetermined time or longer, the image forming apparatus predicts the correction value using the correction value and the temperature at the time when the elapsed time becomes a predetermined time or longer and performs the color misregistration correction.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Hamano, Rin Ishikawa, Takashi Tsujimura, Yuichiro Imai, Saimon Gokyu

Patent number: 7705895Abstract: An image obtained as a result of an image-taking process carried out at a screen rate higher than a standard screen rate is stored in a recording medium in the contemporary video format. To put it more concretely, the image obtained as a result of an image-taking process is supplied at a first screen rate to first compression/coding means for carrying out a compression/coding process at the first screen rate and image data obtained as a result of the compression/coding process is temporarily stored in temporary storage means. After image data output by the first compression/coding means during a predetermined period of time is stored in the temporary storage means, decompression/decoding means reads out the image data from the temporary storage means at a second screen rate lower than the first screen rate, carries out a decompression/decoding process on the image data and stores a result of the decompression/decoding process in recording means.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takashi Tsujimura, Takuro Enomoto, Yutaka Yoneda, Masatsugu Fukunaga, Daisuke Miyakoshi, Nobuho Ikeda, Manabu Kubo

Patent number: 7651022Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for forming a bump for semiconductor interconnect applications, such as reverse wire bonding or stud bumping for flip chip interconnections. The bump is formed by (1) ball bonding at the bump site, (2) raising the capillary a predetermined height after forming the ball bond with the wire paying out of the capillary tip, (3) moving the capillary laterally a predetermined distance, preferably in a direction toward the site of other end of the wire loop, if the bump is to be used as the platform for a stitch bond of a wire loop, (4) raising the capillary further, and (5) moving the capillary diagonally downwardly and in the opposite direction of the first lateral motion. The wire is then severed by raising the capillary, closing the clamps and raising the capillary again to snap the wire pigtail off at the bump.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2007Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Babinetz, Takashi Tsujimura, Hiroyuki Ohtsubo, Yasuhiro Morimoto
