Publication number: 20240098819Abstract: A transmitting station (TX) of an embodiment includes first and second radio signal processing units (STA1 and STA2) and a link management unit (LM). The link management unit establishes multi-link with a receiving station by using the first and second radio signal processing units, and manages communication using the multi-link. The link management unit distributes a plurality of data units to the first and second radio signal processing units. The first radio signal processing unit transmits a first data unit group among the plurality of data units to the receiving station, and transmits first information indicating the sequence number of the data unit included in the first data unit group to the receiving station.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Akira KISHIDA, Yasuhiko INOUE, Kengo NAGATA, Yusuke ASAI, Yasushi TAKATORI

Publication number: 20220084183Abstract: A plurality of captured images is acquired while changing a light illumination state. Each captured image is compared with a corresponding reference image to acquire a region where the captured image is darker than the reference image as a dark defect candidate region. From each of a plurality of captured images, a region where the captured image is lighter than the reference image is acquired as a lightness/darkness inverted region. Among the dark defect candidate regions, those that do not overlap by a prescribed criterion or more with any of the lightness/darkness inverted regions are excluded from defect candidates, and then the presence of a defect is acquired on the basis of the defect candidate regions. This suppresses over-detection of defects arising from, for example, grime on the surface during external appearance inspection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Tsutomu Sakuyama, Yasushi Nagata, Hiroyuki Onishi

Patent number: 10942131Abstract: A first imaging unit images a first region to be subjected to mirror finish treatment of an inspection region of a surface of the object. A second imaging unit images a second region not to be subjected to the mirror finish treatment of the inspection region of the surface of the object. An inspection unit inspects a form of the first region based on a first picked-up image taken by the first imaging unit, and a form of the second region based on a second picked-up image taken by the second imaging unit. During imaging, a holder holds the object so as to have a positional relationship in which the first region has a normal along a first direction rather than a second direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: SCREEN HOLDINGS CO., LTD.Inventor: Yasushi Nagata

Patent number: 10705029Abstract: In an inspection apparatus, light source parts for irradiating an object area on a surface of an object with light from directions, respectively, are provided, and a first picked-up image representing an object area is acquired in one image pickup part by light irradiation from one of the light source parts and a second picked-up image is acquired in the image pickup part by light irradiation from the light source parts. A first defect candidate area is detected by comparing the first picked-up image with a first reference image corresponding to the first picked-up image and a second defect candidate area is detected by comparing the second picked-up image with a second reference image corresponding to the second picked-up image. An overlapping area in the first defect candidate area and the second defect candidate area is specified as a defect area in the object area.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: SCREEN HOLDINGS CO., LTD.Inventor: Yasushi Nagata

Patent number: 10613037Abstract: In a first defect candidate area detected on the basis of a difference between a value of each pixel in a picked-up image and a value of a corresponding pixel in a reference image and a second defect candidate area detected on the basis of a ratio between a value of each pixel in the picked-up image and a value of a corresponding pixel in the reference image, an overlapping area is detected as a defect area. It is thereby possible to suppress detection of a false defect and detect a defect with high accuracy. In a preferable defect detection part, a shaking comparison part detects a defect candidate area on the basis of a difference in the pixel value between the picked-up image and the reference image, and a false information reducing part limits pixels to be used for obtaining the above ratio to those included in the defect candidate area.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: SCREEN HOLDINGS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasushi Nagata, Yasushi Sasa
