Patent number: 10890437Abstract: Problem: To provide a sheet that can clearly and easily measure displacement when displacement of a subject is small, and to provide an article for evaluating the deformation of a building containing this sheet. Resolution Means: A sheet having a first main surface and a second main surface facing the first main surface, including a first section having a first pattern image, a second section having a second pattern image, and the third section provided between the first section and the second section, wherein the first section has higher extensibility then the second section, the first section includes a first main surface of the sheet, the second section includes a second main surface of the sheet, the first pattern image is visible through the second pattern image, and the first main surface includes a high adhesive surface and a low adhesive surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Tasuku Nakayama, Kazuma Nuno

Patent number: 10295332Abstract: At least one aspect of the present disclosure directs to a deformation amount measuring method is a method in which a sheet (101) is used that includes a first layer portion (111) having a first pattern (121) that includes a plurality of line drawings extending in a first direction, and a second layer portion (112) overlaid on the first layer portion (111) and having a second pattern (122) that includes a plurality of line drawings extending in a second direction different than the first direction. The method includes the steps of acquiring, from the sheet (101) that has been disposed on a measurement subject, post-deformation image data corresponding to a post-deformation image including a post-deformation moire produced as a result of a post-deformation first pattern (121) and second pattern (122) being overlaid and finding an amount of deformation of the measurement subject on the basis of the post-deformation image data.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventor: Tasuku Nakayama

Patent number: 9600718Abstract: Techniques are described for creating and manipulating software notes representative of physical notes. A computing device is described that includes a processor and an image collection module executable on the processor and configured to receive an input image of an environment having a plurality of physical notes. An image processing engine executable on the processor is configured to identify the plurality of physical notes in the input image and generate, for each of the physical notes, a corresponding digital note. The image processing engine is further configured to identify an indication of one or more groups of the plurality of identified notes in the input image and group the plurality of digital notes according to the indication.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Diane R. Wolk, David M. Mahli, Cristin E. Moran, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Willem V. Bastiaens, Richard J. Moore, Pontus Axelsson, Michael Rotstein, Roland Persson, Linus Åkerlund, Tasuku Nakayama

Patent number: 9378426Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature systems and methods for note recognition. The note recognition system includes a sensor, a note recognition module, and a note extraction module. The sensor is configured to capture a visual representation of a scene having one or more notes. The note recognition module is coupled to the sensor. The note recognition module is configured to receive the captured visual representation and determine a general boundary of a note from the captured visual representation. The note extraction module is configured to extract content of the note from the captured visual representation based on the determined general boundary of the note.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Gabriel A. Biller, Kristopher W. Clover, Masuma W. Henry, Stephen M. June, Brian L. Linzie, Robert D. Lorentz, David M. Mahli, Richard J. Moore, Cristin E. Moran, Tasuku Nakayama, Scott D. Pearson, Dennard J.
