Publication number: 20230144543Abstract: The present disclosure includes a radar configured to detect surrounding objects and terrain, and a LIDAR configured to detect the surrounding objects and terrain using a narrower detection range and a higher resolution than the radar. The disclosure also includes a first map, such as a wide-area map, generated based on information about the surrounding as detected by the radar, a second map, such as a high-resolution map, based on information about the surroundings as detected by the LIDAR, and a composite map that has the grid width of the first map and the grid width of the second map.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuichiro DAKE, Isao WAKABAYASHI, Naohiro HARA, Tomoya FUKUKAWA, Toshiyuki YOKOUE, Satoshi MINAMIYAMA

Publication number: 20210347449Abstract: A LiDAR included in this automatic docking device measures the distance to a surrounding object at each predetermined angle by irradiating the object with light and receiving the light reflected by the object. When a ship offshore is instructed to perform automatic docking, the ship navigates to some extent by automatic navigation based on satellite positioning, and is then switched to automatic navigation based on the LiDAR. Before switching to the automatic navigation based on the LiDAR, the LiDAR performs preparatory measurement for measuring the distance to an object around a docking position. In this preparatory measurement, a control unit controls to change, for example, the orientation of the ship such that light emitted from the LiDAR can be reflected by the object around the docking position and can be received by the LiDAR.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuichiro Dake, Naohiro Hara, Tomoya Fukukawa, Toshiyuki Yokoue, Yasuhiro Ueda

Patent number: 7936439Abstract: A broad crystal display panel having a color filter substrate is supported by supporting nails and the middle portion of a supporting span is pressed by a loading bar. From this state, the supporting nails are removed to release the supporting, and subsequently the supporting nails are also removed to release the supporting the color filter substrate. While preventing the displacement between the color filter substrate and a TFT array substrate, the color filter substrate and the TFT array substrate can be stacked with a specified distance.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Kamiya, Shuhichi Odahara, Kohichi Toriumi, Toshiyuki Yokoue

Patent number: 7497365Abstract: A paste coater that can apply an amount of a solder paste to small-diameter bump electrodes at a narrow pitch is described. A paste coater includes: a transfer roller, supported by a sub frame; a roller drive mechanism for rotating the transfer roller; a paste storage unit for storing paste to be supplied to the surface of the transfer roller; a squeegee having a distal edge, parallel to the rotary shaft of the transfer roller, separated by a gap from the distal edge to the surface of the transfer roller; a squeegee holder for holding and including biasing means for pushing the squeegee in a first direction thereby widening the gap; and a gap adjustment mechanism with biasing means for pushing the squeegee in a second direction thereby narrowing the gap.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2006Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hideo Kimura, Toshiyuki Yokoue, Yasuhiko Shiota

Patent number: 7050141Abstract: A manufacturing method and a bonding apparatus for a liquid crystal display device is provided for that makes it possible to expel remaining bubbles from a liquid crystal and to bond an array substrate and a color filter substrate while maintaining their positional relationship. In a step for bonding an array substrate with a liquid crystal applied thereto and a color filter substrate, vacuum holding of only a central retaining region of an upper vacuum chuck of the bonding apparatus is stopped. This causes the central portion of the color filter substrate to come in contact with the array substrate due to its own weight. The contact region is pressed by a holder to secure the positional relationship between the array substrate and the color filter substrate. Thereafter, with the elapse of time, the upper vacuum chuck increases the retaining region for which a vacuum retaining operation is stopped so as to expand the area of contact between the array substrate and the color filter substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Toshiyuki Yokoue

Patent number: 7038756Abstract: Disclosed are a fixing device and method of fixing substrate to provide holding means capable of surely fixing and positioning a sheet-like substrate even in vacuum, and to provide an operational mechanism thereof. A fixing device includes: a carrier plate for setting a glass substrate thereon; a claw for pressing the glass substrate set on the carrier plate, when the glass substrate is set thereon, by sandwiching the glass substrate from the periphery thereof; and an airbag having air sealed therein and expanding by lowering an external pressure. The claw is operated by using expansion of the airbag as power, thereby fixing the glass substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Yokoue, Shuhichi Odahara, Kohichi Toriumi, Hiroyuki Kamiya
