Publication number: 20160345871Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device that acquires a captured image including depth information that is captured by an image capturing device including a depth sensor, and determines whether a positional relationship between a person being watched over and a region of a bed satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the depth for each pixel. In the case where a state in which the depth for each pixel within the captured image cannot be acquired by the depth sensor continues for a given period of time or longer, the information processing device notifies that there is a possibility that watching over of the person being watched over is not being performed normally.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: NORITSU PRECISION CO., LTD.Inventors: Shuichi Matsumoto, Takeshi Murai, Masayoshi Uetsuji

Apparatus and method for measuring a temperature of a high temperature liquid contained in a furnace
Patent number: 5585914Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring a temperature of a high temperature liquid contained in a furnace. An optical fiber covered with a metallic tube is inserted through a passageway inside a nozzle arranged on a furnace wall of the furnace. The nozzle communicates with an interior of the furnace containing the liquid, and gas is supplied into the passageway inside the nozzle to prevent the nozzle from clogging. The metal-covered optical fiber is fed through the passageway inside the nozzle into the liquid such that spectral light radiated from the liquid enters a tip of the metal-covered optical fiber and is propagated therealong. The temperature of the liquid is determined by a radiation thermometer, coupled to the metal-covered optical fiber, based on the spectral light propagated along the metal-covered optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1994Date of Patent: December 17, 1996Assignee: NKK CorporationInventors: Mitsuo Yamasaki, Shigeru Inoue, Ichiro Kikuchi, Masaki Komatani, Genji Kanatani, Masao Hiroko, Takafumi Yoshikawa, Masashi Edahiro, Yoshimi Komatsu, Akihiko Inoue, Hideaki Mizukami, Takeshi Murai, Hideo Nakamura, Yoshiro Yamada, Yuji Adachi, Hirofumi Nakamura, Keiichi Miyoshi, Kazusi Miyamoto, Masao Doi, Shirou Takene
