  • Patent number: 11926067
    Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.

  • Patent number: 11303951
    Abstract: The time axis of certain content is easily and reliably determined, and other content is reproduced in synchronization with the reproduction of the content. A content reproduction program causes a computer to implement: a sound detection unit that detects sound of first content reproduced outside the computer; a time axis determination unit that determines, on the basis of the detected sound, a time axis of second content reproduced subsequent to the first content outside the computer; and a content reproduction unit that reproduces third content corresponding to the second content in synchronization with reproduction of the second content on the basis of the determined time axis.

  • Patent number: 5836350
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve includes a hydraulic circuit coupling having an input port and a strainer mounted over the input port. The strainer is an entirely planar member and includes a filter portion having a plurality of pores forming a mesh and a retaining portion formed around the outer circumference of the filter portion. The strainer is fixed on the cylindrical wall of the input port of the hydraulic circuit coupling. The hydraulic circuit coupling may have a plurality of projections for engaging and holding the strainer. Alternatively, the retaining portion of the strainer may have a plurality of coplanar projections extending from its outer circumference coplanar with the filter portion and mating with a groove formed around the inner circumference of the input port of the coupling.

  • Patent number: 5160116
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve having a flow passage opened and closed by the drive of an electromagnet. The electromagnetic opertor includes a casing, an electromagnetic coil, a plunger adapted to be driven by the electromagnetic coil, a sleeve for guiding the plunger, a yoke fitted around the sleeve and formed with an axially extending central portion and a notch in its outer circumference, and a push rod fixed to the plunger. The valve portion includes an outer valve body, having an input port and a discharge port, which is fixed to the casing of the electromagnet with a flange fitted over and mating with the raised central portion of the yoke. An inner valve body is mounted in the outer base and has an axial bore for receiving the push rod. A ball is interposed between the outer valve body and the inner valve body for opening or closing the passage of the valve, extending from the input port to the discharge port, by the drive of the push rod.

  • Patent number: 5143345
    Abstract: A two-way electromagnet has an input port and a discharge port at opposing ends of a flow passage which is opened or closed by the drive of an electromagnet. The two-way electromagnetic valve operating portion or module includes an electromagnetic coil, a plunger adapted to be driven by the electromagnetic coil, a yoke fitted around a sleeve and a push rod fixed in the plunger. The valve portion or module includes an outer valve body in which the input port and a valve seat are formed, an inner valve body formed with a bore for receiving the leading end of the push rod therethrough and a passage communicating with the discharge port. The valve member is a ball arranged between the valve seat of the outer valve body and the inner valve body. The push rod is moved forward when the electromagnetic coil is deenergized to bring the ball into abutment against the valve seat to thereby close the input port.
