Publication number: 20230350432Abstract: When an acceleration equal to or larger than a threshold value is exerted to a vehicle, an unmanned air vehicle takeoff and landing dock unlocks an unmanned air vehicle in a direction opposite to a direction in which the acceleration is exerted. When an acceleration detector of the unmanned air vehicle detects the acceleration equal to or larger than a threshold value, a flight controller of the unmanned air vehicle controls flight of the unmanned air vehicle to cause the unmanned air vehicle to ascend. Further, the unmanned air vehicle starts imaging by an imaging unit and starts transmitting imaging data acquired.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Jun TAKAHASHI, Eiji NAKANO, Yukiko IKEDA, Shinnosuke YAMAMOTO, Masaya MIHARA

Patent number: 10316841Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a compressor that includes a corrosion-resistant film formed on the surface of a casing having a complicated shape. A compressor pumps gas in a compression chamber formed by a casing, the casing is made of cast iron, and a layer made of a mixture of iron nitride and a compound of iron, nitrogen, and carbon and an oxide layer made of triiron tetraoxide are formed on the surface of the casing. Accordingly, since the corrosion resistance of the casing, which includes a film formed by a gas soft-nitriding treatment and an oxidation treatment, is improved, the generation of rust is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a compressor in which galling or sticking caused by rust occurs less.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukiko Ikeda, Masakatsu Okaya, Yuuichi Yanagase

Patent number: 10161888Abstract: A crystalline phase contained in a sample is identified, from X-ray diffraction data of the sample which contain data of a plurality of ring-shaped diffraction patterns, using a database in which are registered data related to peak positions and peak intensity ratios of X-ray diffraction patterns for a plurality of crystalline phases. Peak positions and peak intensities for a plurality of the diffraction patterns are detected from the X-ray diffraction data (step 102), and the circumferential angle versus intensity data of the diffraction patterns is created (step 103). The diffraction patterns are grouped into a plurality of clusters on the basis of the circumferential angle versus intensity data (step 105). Crystalline phase candidates contained in the sample are searched from the database on the basis of sets of ratios of peak positions and peak intensities of the diffraction patterns grouped into the same cluster (step 106).Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: RIGAKU CORPORATIONInventors: Yukiko Ikeda, Keigo Nagao, Akihiro Himeda

Patent number: 5450931Abstract: A thixotropic material is charged in a container. The container also holds a movable member which is placed in the thixotropic material so as to stir the thixotropic material. A force transmitting element is connected to the movable member. When an object, the vibration of which is to be controlled, is out of resonance, the amplitude of vibration is so small that the thixotropic material is in a gel state, thus presenting a comparatively large spring constant for the vibration control apparatus. As the excitation frequency is increased towards the resonance range, the amplitude of vibration is increased correspondingly, so that the movable member stirs the thixotropic material to generate stress in the latter, whereby the phase of the thixotropic material is changed from gel to sol. Consequently, the natural frequency of the vibration system, including the object and the vibration control apparatus, is lowered, thus averting resonance.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1994Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiromitsu Masuda, Taichi Sato, Kihachiro Tanaka, Yukiko Ikeda
