Patent number: 11172898Abstract: A radiation imaging system is provided. The radiation imaging system comprises an irradiation control apparatus configured to control a timing of radiation irradiation by a radiation generating apparatus and a radiation imaging apparatus configured to communicate by at least one synchronous communication method to synchronize with the radiation irradiation. The irradiation control apparatus comprises a determination unit configured to determine an imaging mode that has been set and a synchronous communication method which can be supported by the radiation imaging apparatus, and a control unit configured to control, based on the determination result, the timing of the radiation irradiation by a synchronous communication method corresponding to the imaging mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Taro Fukasawa

Patent number: 11030468Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface is configured to acquire a first video image capturing an outside area of a moving body. The controller is configured to cause a second video image corresponding to a display region of the first video image to be displayed on a display apparatus. The controller is also configured to detect at least a portion of a detection object in the display region of the first video image, determine whether one or more conditions are met based on a relative positional relationship between the moving body and the detection object and, when it is determined that the one or more conditions are met, cause a first marker corresponding to the detection object to be superimposed on the second video image and displayed on the display apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Tomohiro Shimazu, Taro Fukasawa, Takeo Oshima

Patent number: 10537242Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a converter configured to convert an analog signal obtained from detected interference light into a digital signal and a clock generator configured as an interferometer including an optical path through which part of light emitted from a light source passes, the optical path being split into a first optical path and a second optical path having an optical path length difference therebetween, to generate a clock used by the converter sampling the analog signal at a frequency corresponding to the optical path length difference. The converter includes n A/D converters, n being an integer of at least 2, and is configured to change phases of n clocks obtained from the clock to produce a phase difference therebetween, and to generate a clock having an n-times frequency from the n clocks and n analog signals obtained from the analog signal using the n A/D converters.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Taro Fukasawa, Takashi Naba, Yasuhisa Inao

Publication number: 20190095077Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a display surface located in a surface of the electronic apparatus, a controller, and a first sensor. The controller controls a display of the display surface. The first sensor detects a fingerprint of a finger touching a detection object surface located in a position different from the display surface in the surface of the electronic apparatus. The first sensor detects a first operation of a finger performed on the detection object surface along the detection object surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Takahiro MORI, Mayu SANDA, Kousuke TERUYAMA, Tomohiro SHIMAZU, Taro FUKASAWA
