20160084959 | PERSON-DETECTING SENSOR AND AUTOMATIC WATER FAUCET - A person-detecting sensor includes: a range-finding unit that decides whether distance to a detection object falls within a predetermined detection distance range; and a specular reflection decision unit that decides whether reflected light is specularly-reflected light. The specular reflection decision unit performs a threshold determination regarding the count of pixels or the proportion of pixels exhibiting a received-light quantity of a predetermined proportion or greater with respect to the maximum received-light quantity among received-light quantities from the reflected light and decides that the reflected light is specularly-reflected light when the count of the pixels or the proportion of the pixels is a predetermined threshold or less. | 03-24-2016 |
20160083943 | PERSON-DETECTING SENSOR AND AUTOMATIC WATER FAUCET - A person-detecting sensor includes: a range-finding unit that decides whether a distance to a detection object falls within a predetermined detection distance range; a received-light quantity decision unit that decides whether a received-light quantity is equal to or greater than a predetermined received-light quantity threshold; and a continuation decision unit that decides whether a state of the detection object being present is ongoing. In the received-light quantity decision unit, after water discharge is started upon the detection determination unit determining a detection object to be under detection state, for a period during which the continuation decision unit decides the state in which the detection object being present is ongoing, the received-light quantity threshold is set to be lower than prior to when the water discharge is started. | 03-24-2016 |
20140215705 | FLUSH TOILET BOWL - A flush toilet bowl capable of satisfactorily cleaning a toilet during a power failure is provided. The flush toilet bowl includes: a toilet bowl main body ( | 08-07-2014 |
20140109985 | AUTOMATIC FAUCET AND WATER DISCHARGING DEVICE - An automatic faucet that is easy to use with a sensor window that can be easily cleaned and a sensor that is suppressed from falsely detecting water stream ejected from a water spout member. An automatic faucet, which has a water spout member and a sensor placed in a front end section of a water spout pipe and automatically ejects water from the spout member by the detection by the sensor. The water spout member and the sensor are axially inserted into the water spout pipe from the obliquely downward opening of the tip of the water spout pipe, and the sensor is disposed above the water spout member. The water spout member is disposed in a state where the front end face thereof is positioned to the inside of the water spout pipe than the front end face of the sensor. | 04-24-2014 |

20120305118 | AUTOMATIC FAUCET AND WATER DISCHARGING DEVICE - An automatic faucet, which has a water spout member and a sensor placed in a front end section of a water spout pipe and automatically ejects water from the spout member by the detection by the sensor. The water spout pipe has a shape, in which a section of the front end side is directed forward and obliquely downward with respect to a user. The water spout member and the sensor are axially inserted into the water spout pipe from the obliquely downward opening of the tip of the water spout pipe, and the sensor is disposed above the water spout member. The water spout member is disposed in a state where the front end face thereof is positioned to the inside of the water spout pipe than the front end face of the sensor. | 12-06-2012 |
20120297534 | AUTOMATIC FAUCET - A cylindrical water spout member is provided inside the tip section of the water spout pipe, the optical fiber on the light projection side and the optical fiber on the light receiving side are passed inside the water spout pipe up to the tip section of the water spout pipe, and the tips of the optical fibers configure a light projection section and a light receiving section. Moreover, fitting convex section are provided on the outer surfaces of the tip sections of the optical fibers, and the fitting concave sections are provided on the outer surface of the water spout member. The tip sections of the optical fibers are fixed in a positioned state based on the concave-convex fitting. | 11-29-2012 |
