  • Publication number: 20240139907
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus capable of more easily determining a maintenance timing by using event data. The information processing apparatus includes a state estimation unit that estimates a state of a grindstone by using event data supplied from an event sensor that outputs, as event data, a temporal change of an electrical signal obtained by photoelectrically converting an optical signal, and outputs a result of the estimation. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an information processing system or the like that tells a maintenance timing of a grindstone of a machine tool.

  • Patent number: 11966182
    Abstract: A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressure member, and a pair of retention members each including a restriction surface. The restriction surface restricts a movement of the fixing member in an axial direction. The restriction surface includes a first contact area and a second contact area. The first area is an area more on a downstream side of a passing direction of a medium than a center of a pressure area in the passing direction, and also closer to the pressure area than an apex of the fixing member on an opposite side of the pressure area. The first contact area and the second contact area are each tilted at a certain gradient so as to be set apart from the end portion of the fixing member in the axial direction from a side of the apex toward a side of the pressure area.

  • Patent number: 11926133
    Abstract: A sheet laminator includes a sheet lamination device, a heater, and circuitry. The sheet lamination device performs a sheet laminating operation on an object by application of heat and pressure. The heater heats the sheet lamination device. The circuitry changes between a first mode in which the heater constantly heats the sheet lamination device while the sheet lamination device is turned on and a second mode in which the heater starts heating the sheet lamination device in response to a request of the sheet laminating operation and stops heating the sheet lamination device after a given time has elapsed from completion of the sheet laminating operation. The circuitry adjusts the given time in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11925865
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a first index image move toward an upper end from a lower end in a movement gauge in a parameter determination screen when a player starts a second parameter determination operation. When the first index image is stopped according to an operation of the player, a hitting power for a ball is determined based on the stopped position. Moreover, if the first index image is stopped, a second index image is moved up to a position that the first index image is stopped from the lower end in the movement gauge. The player performs a direction input during a direction input period that is a period of time that the second index image is being moved. Then, a trajectory after the ball starts moving is changed in a direction based on the direction input.

  • Patent number: 11901632
    Abstract: A phased array antenna device for receiving a signal from a satellite includes subarrays including antenna elements and phase shifters that shift phases of signals received by the antenna elements with set phase shift values, a demodulator that demodulates the signals from the satellite with the phases shifted by the phase shifters and outputs the demodulated signals, and a controller that sets the phase shift values of the phase shifters and controls a beam direction. The controller calculates, for each of the subarrays, a direction-correction phase shift value that maximizes a power value of the signal from the satellite by being added to the phase shift values of the phase shifters included in the subarray and adds the direction-correction phase shift value to the phase shift values of the phase shifters included in the subarray.
