Patent number: 11176800Abstract: A power supply device is such that when an output voltage is abnormal, a system manager or the like can easily acquire information effective in identifying a cause of the abnormality. The power supply device includes a first light emitting element installed to be visually recognizable from an exterior, and a light emitting element control unit that drives the first light emitting element. When an output voltage is abnormal, the light emitting element control unit causes the first light emitting element to flash, thereby convert at least one of specific power supply operation information used for inferring a cause of the output voltage being abnormal and cause information inferred based on the specific power supply operation information into an optical digital signal formatted for serial communication, and causes the optical digital signal to be output from the first light emitting element.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: COSEL CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuto Kawataka, Yuji Hirose, Shinji Moriya, Masanobu Hiramatsu, Hikaru Kobayashi, Yuta Usui

Patent number: 10503500Abstract: A management system constructs management information indicating that log chunks and issue chunks extracted from a first system managing log information and issue information output by a process related to a first team for a program to be developed are linked. The management system searches, from the management information, a log message group compatible with a designated log message group that is one or more log messages related to the issue by log pattern matching using the designated log message group in a case of receiving an inquiry with which the designated log message group is associated from the second system. The management system displays, on the second system, a response containing a handling method represented by handling method information corresponding to the found log message group.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Tameshige, Jun Mizuno, Junji Kinoshita, Yuichi Taguchi, Shigeru Tachikawa, Yuji Hirose, Mitsuhiro Nagata

Patent number: 10371349Abstract: An optical device includes one or more light sources and a light-guiding plate that guides light emitted from the light sources in a plane parallel to an emission surface that emits light. The light-guiding plate has light convergence portions that receive guided light and each have optical surfaces that cause light to be emitted from the emission surface in directions in which the light substantially converges at or scatters from one convergence point. The convergence points for the light convergence portions are different from each other. An image is formed on an emission surface side by a collection of the convergence points. First light convergence portions positioned differently from each other along a light-guiding direction of the light-guiding plate cause light to be emitted from the emission surface in different directions in which the light substantially converges at or scatters from the same first convergence point among the convergence points.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Norikazu Kitamura, Masayuki Shinohara, Yasuhiro Tanoue, Yuji Hirose, Mitsuru Okuda, Kazuyuki Okada
