Publication number: 20220237995Abstract: A tactile sensation presentation device includes a light source that emits a laser beam toward a test site that is a region of a skin surface of a biological object and a control device that generates a control signal that controls the light source and causes the light source to emit the laser beam in a modulated manner. The laser beam emitted from the light source in a manner modulated in accordance with the control signal from the control device whereby the test site is irradiated is absorbed at the test site and generates a pressure wave that is a thermoelastic wave by the photoacoustic phenomenon.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2019Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Yuichi Okabe, Toshishige Shimamura, Yoshiyuki Doi, Yuzo Ishii

Publication number: 20210355597Abstract: An image capturing unit captures an image of a surface of a member treated by a surface treatment unit. A comparison unit obtains a correlation coefficient between a reference image stored in a storage unit and the image captured by the image capturing unit. A cross-correlation coefficient between power spectra of the reference image and the image captured by the image capturing unit is obtained. A control unit stops a surface treatment performed by the surface treatment unit when the correlation coefficient obtained by the comparison unit reaches a set value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2019Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Yuichi Okabe, Toshishige Shimamura, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Yuzo Ishii

Publication number: 20130286454Abstract: In a wavelength swept light source using a polygon mirror in a well-known art, an oscillation wavelength roughly linearly varies in an upwardly slight convex shape with respect to time. On the other hand, in a wavelength swept light source of SS-OCT, the wavelength is required to vary so that a wavenumber (inverse of wavelength) linearly varies on a time axis. The wavelength swept light source of the well-known art has had a drawback that such wavelength variation cannot be implemented; non-linear distortion occurs in a resultant OCT image; and thereby, a point spread function cannot be kept sharp.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Seiji Toyoda, Kazunori Naganuma, Yuichi Okabe, Shogo Yagi, Kazutoshi Kato, Masahiro Ueno, Takashi Sakamoto, Tadayuki Imai, Jun Miyazu, Kazuto Noguchi, Shigeo Ishibashi
