  • Publication number: 20230073495
    Abstract: Provided is a laser scattered light measuring device capable of easily confirming the safety of laser scattered light to a human body. The laser scattered light measuring device includes a light receiving unit, a calculation unit, and a display unit. The light receiving unit receives laser scattered light generated by irradiating an object with laser light and detects intensity of the laser scattered light. The calculation unit compares the intensity of the laser scattered light received by the light receiving unit with a predetermined threshold value and calculates a degree of risk of the laser scattered light to a human body based on a comparison result. The display unit displays the degree of risk calculated by the calculation unit.

  • Patent number: 10576526
    Abstract: A workpiece conveying system includes a disposition component, a first imaging component, a first position sensor, a conveyor, a first removal component, and a position adjuster. A plurality of workpieces are disposable on the disposition component. The first imaging captures an image of workpieces on the disposition component. The first position sensor senses a position of a workpiece to be removed from the disposition component based on the captured image. The conveyor conveys the workpiece removed from the disposition component. The first removal component removes from the disposition component a workpiece whose position has been sensed and places the workpiece on the conveyor. The position adjuster adjusts a position of the workpiece placed on the conveyor.

  • Patent number: 9944292
    Abstract: A working vehicle includes: a power transmission device which selects a four-wheel drive state and a two-wheel drive state; a hydraulic continuously variable transmission device which includes a trunnion arm displaceable to a forward movement position, a neutral position, and a backward movement position; a pedaling operation detection unit which detects a pedaling operation for a brake pedal; and a control unit which performs a process of moving the trunnion arm to the neutral position by controlling an actuator when the pedaling operation detection unit detects the pedaling operation and which sets the operation speed of the actuator to be slow in the four-wheel drive state during the process compared to the two-wheel drive state.
