Publication number: 20040203936Abstract: It is the objective of the present invention to realize a highly flexible communication system, in which a communication terminal can freely change from master station operating mode to slave station operating mode or vice versa at its own spontaneous request. In order to achieve this objective, a communication terminal of the present invention, by switching from one mode to the other, operates in either master station operating mode for communicating with a plurality of slave stations that constitute a communication system, and also for controlling the communication system, or slave station operating mode for operating as a slave station in response to a control message from a master station. When terminal 2 operating in slave station operating mode needs to operate as the master station, terminal 2 informs terminal 5, which is the master station, of a transition request REQ 1, for making the transition to the master station.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2002Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventors: Minoru Ogino, Yukihiro Yamada, Katsunori Yamamoto, Toshiaki Fujikura

Patent number: 6473537Abstract: A process and system capable of accurately extracting the image of a light ray projected onto a workpiece from various images even if the projected light image formed on the workpiece is short in length. A first picture image picked up prior to bending of the workpiece W and a second picture image picked up after completion of the bending operation are respectively assigned to XY pixels, and these pixels are divided into two groups according to whether each pixel is assigned either of the picture images, thereby obtaining images a and b. Each pixel of the image a is compared to its corresponding pixel of the image b, these pixels having the same coordinate value, and logical operation is performed based on a logical operation table. In this way, a pixel image (image c) which corresponds to the projected light image formed on the workpiece only can be extracted.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1999Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Komatsu Ltd.Inventor: Yukihiro Yamada
