  • Patent number: 11964402
    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: 7539318
    Abstract: A speaker apparatus is configured such that a speaker unit including a single magnetic circuit system, a plurality of vibration systems and a case is housed inside a speaker box. In the speaker unit, magnetic gaps having a magnetic field of the same magnitude are defined by a magnet holder, a magnet and a yoke in each of the vibration systems. In one vibration system and the other vibration system, voice coils are wound around voice coil bobbins in directions reverse to each other. Consequently, the vibration systems are moved in directions opposite to each other by the same force by applying the same electric signal to the voice coil in each of the vibration systems from an amplifier. Therefore, acoustic waves are radiated in the directions opposite to each other.

  • Patent number: 7239715
    Abstract: A speaker apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle includes a speaker unit and a mounting device. The speaker unit has a frame. The mounting device mounts the frame of the speaker unit on a panel member of a vehicle body. The mounting device includes insulators, which prevent vibration, which is caused by operation of the speaker unit in any direction, from being transmitted to the panel member in any direction.

  • Publication number: 20070047755
    Abstract: A speaker device which makes it possible to prevent the entry of foreign matter such as magnetic dust into a magnetic gap through the gap between a diffuser and a voice coil bobbin, to thereby improve the operational reliability and service life of the product. In a speaker device in which a diffuser that improves directional characteristics is provided on a front side of a center pole that makes up a magnetic circuit, the diffuser has a magnet portion which is provided in a ring shape making one round around its outer periphery and is magnetized in a radial direction. As foreign matter such as magnetic dust is attracted by the magnet portion of the diffuser, the entry of the foreign matter into a magnetic gap side is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20050117766
    Abstract: A speaker unit in which an open end of each of acoustic tubes is disposed on an upper surface of a casing is produced. The speaker unit is mounted inside a seat, for example, to an upper position of an inside of a backrest of the seat via a connecting member or the like. Thereby, the open ends of the acoustic tubes are disposed at a position near both ears of a seated person. Since low-frequency sound can be reproduced to an area near both the ears of the seated person, so much output sound pressure level of the drive speaker is not needed. Therefore, a drive speaker of a small bore diameter can be applied to the speaker unit, and the speaker unit itself can be made compact and light. The speaker unit is mounted inside the backrest of the seat, for example, and it is not necessary to take the trouble to ensure a place for placing the speaker unit around the seat.
