20090010129 | Optical Disc Judgment Method and Optical Disc Device - An optical disk apparatus according to the present invention is an optical disk apparatus for performing at least one of: recording data to a plurality of types of optical disks including a recordable optical disk and a read-only optical disk which are produced according to the BD specifications; and reproducing data from the optical disks. This apparatus includes: a means ( | 01-08-2009 |
20090022021 | Optical Disk Drive - After an optical disk drive according to the present invention has been loaded with an optical disk and before the operation of recognizing the type of the given disk is finished, the drive presumes one of multiple types of candidate optical disks, from/on which data is readable and writable using a light beam with the shortest wavelength among the candidate disks, to be the disk being driven by the motor now and gets the beam for the presumed type of disk radiated from a light source (Step (A)). Next, the drive gets the disk spun at a rotational velocity that realizes a linear velocity equal to or higher than a standardized normal velocity when data is read from the presumed type of disk (Step (B)). Thereafter, the drive starts a focus control in a situation where the spot of the beam being formed on the disk is moving on the disk at the linear velocity equal to or higher than the normal velocity (Step (C)). And then the drive performs the operation of recognizing the type of the disk by the light beam reflected from the disk under the focus control (Step (D)). | 01-22-2009 |
20090095109 | STRUCTURE, MANIPULATOR AND STRUCTURE CONTROL SYSTEM - A structure is provided with a first member at a base end side, a third member at a leading end side, a second member arranged between the first and third members, and a coupling force generator for generating a first coupling force for pressing an end surface of the first member and that of the second member against each other and a second coupling force for pressing an end surface of the second member and that of the third member against each other. In this structure, the first and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the first member and that of the second member by the first coupling force, whereas the second and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the second member and that of the first member by the second coupling force. | 04-16-2009 |
20090147639 | OPTICAL DISK UNIT AND DRIVING METHOD THEREFOR - An optical disk drive according to the present invention has the ability to read data from multiple types of optical disks, each of which includes at least one information storage layer. The drive includes: a driving mechanism | 06-11-2009 |
20090312868 | MANIPULATOR AND MANIPULATOR POSTURE CONTROL METHOD - It is aimed to provide a manipulator capable of reducing a colliding force exerted to an obstacle even in the case where the manipulator collides without being able to avoid a collision with the obstacle. | 12-17-2009 |
20100318224 | MANIPULATOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A manipulator is provided with an arm, an arm, a holding section, a first joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the arm, a second joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the holding section, a first joint driving section capable of driving the first joint section, a second joint driving section capable of driving the second joint section, a member specifying section for specifying one of the arms which has a possibility of collision with an obstacle or which has collided with the obstacle, and a control device for controlling the first joint driving section and the second joint driving section to pivotally move the one of the arms specified by the member specifying section in a direction away from the obstacle, and pivotally move the other of the arms in a direction toward the obstacle. | 12-16-2010 |
20110060448 | MEDICINE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A medicine management method includes: a prescription generating step of generating a prescription direction; and a dispensation operation step of making dispensation information regarding dispensation correspond to a medicine container and a prescription code, to update management information of a dispensation managing section. The medicine management method includes a withdrawal operation step of specifying the medicine container that corresponds to a prescription code cancelled in accordance with the management information at the time of a cancellation of the prescription direction in the dispensation operation step, to direct a withdrawal process on the medicine container based upon cancellation information. An accurate medicine withdrawal is performed on the medicine container cancelled. | 03-10-2011 |
20110125523 | MEDICINE EXAMINATION SUPPORT SYSTEM - A medicine inspection support system, which provides a reliable inspection of medicine preparation, includes a person authentication unit, a preliminary inspection unit, an inspection unit, and an inspector check unit. The person authentication unit identifies a preliminary inspector who performs a preliminary inspection of medicine preparation, and an inspector who performs an inspection of the medicine preparation. The preliminary inspection unit certifies that the preliminary inspector has performed the preliminary inspection of the medicine preparation. The inspection unit certifies that the inspector has performed the inspection of the medicine preparation. The inspector check unit permits the inspection unit to certify completion of the inspection when determined that the inspector is a different person from the preliminary inspector. | 05-26-2011 |
