Publication number: 20170278057Abstract: A product recognition unit (2020) recognizes a product from an image on which the product and an electronic shelf label are imaged (target image). A shelf label recognition unit (2040) extracts a shelf label ID of the electronic shelf label from the target image. The shelf label recognition unit (2040) recognizes a position of the electronic shelf label (3000) from the target image. A relation information generation unit (2060) generates relation information based on a position of the recognized product and the position of the recognized electronic shelf label (3000). The relation information associates product information of the recognized product with the shelf label ID of the recognized electronic shelf label (3000) closest to the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2015Publication date: September 28, 2017Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Yoshihiro ITOU, Kanako TAGA, Takenobu KITAHARA

Patent number: 8445106Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a resin-coated metal sheet which not only is excellent in stamping performance (lubricity of a resin layer) and film removability by alkaline cleaning but also has improved blocking resistance. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition used for forming a resin layer having such properties on a metal sheet. A resin-coated metal sheet according to the present invention is characterized in that a resin layer containing polyethylene glycol whose number average molecular weight is 18,000 to 500,000 and paraffin wax whose average molecular weight is 400 or less is laminated on one side or both the sides of the metal sheet.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2006Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Kobe Steel, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Itou, Naoya Fujiwara, Kiyomi Aoki

Patent number: 8128741Abstract: A dissolving apparatus has a cylindrical tubular container closed at both ends with its center axis being inclined to the horizon. A center of an interface between a gas and a liquid in the container is positioned at a center in a lengthwise direction of a side wall of the container. Two inner spaces of the container above and below the interface are referred to as a gas section and a liquid section. An injection inlet for injecting a gas-liquid mixed fluid into the container is provided at a level corresponding to, or lower than, the interface. A liquid outlet for discharging the liquid is provided near a bottom of the liquid section of the container. Since the container is inclined, the interface can have an area large enough to promote dissolution of the gas into the liquid. Since the depth of the liquid in the liquid section is sufficiently deep, the liquid can be prevented from being discharged through the liquid outlet with large gas bubbles being present therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasunari Maeda, Shigeyuki Yamaguchi, Kazumasa Rokushima, Naoki Shibata, Hitoshi Kitamura, Noriyuki Kitachi, Yoshihiro Itou, Takaya Niu

Publication number: 20010047511Abstract: Unnecessary barrier instructions are dynamically reduced in a parallel processing object program, program module or object code section to be parallel processed in a multiprocessor system by a compiler that generates the parallel processing object program from a source program. The compiler divides the source program into parallel processing objects, issues a pre dynamic barrier instruction having parameters for barrier necessity determination that describe a first variable or array memory reference in the parallel processing object, which includes a parallel processing loop. In addition, the compiler issues a post dynamic barrier instruction having information in parameters about a second variable or array (or group of arrays) to be referenced after the parallel processing object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2001Publication date: November 29, 2001Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Itou, Kei Nakajima
