ActiveJP2025144642AMusical toysDollsSoftware engineeringMechanical engineering
To provide a highly amusing toy.SOLUTION: A toy 1 comprises a first unit 10 for holding identification information, the first unit 10 includes multiple projections for composing identification information and a movable projection 15 that does not compose identification information and can travel, and the toy 1 operates an operation section 30 of a second unit 20 by detecting the multiple projections for composing the identification information by the second unit 20 detachable from or attachable to the first unit 10, or the movable projection 15. Since the second unit 20 that can be mounted to the first unit 10 that has the projections for the identification information and the movable projection 15 not composing identification information is constituted so as to be capable of detecting the projections for the identification information and the movable projection 15, the number of performances for operating the first unit 10 and the second unit 20 in association with each other can be increased easily.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Information holding medium and information processing system

PendingJP2025026681A5Sensing by mechanical meansVideo games
To provide an information holding medium which comparatively reduces false recognition, and an information processing system.SOLUTION: An information processing system 1 includes an information holding medium 2 and an information reading apparatus 3. The information holding medium 2 has two-dimensional arrays of unit data parts 11. In a part of the unit data parts 11, a mark 13 for forming a digital code is formed. Mark patterns in an X-direction sequence of two unit data part rows adjacent to each other in a Y-direction are different from each other. The information reading apparatus 3 generates a data string on the basis of a unit signal group formed of a plurality of signals, as a unit, output synchronously from a group of detection units 21 for detecting the mark 13, and recognizes a digital code of the information holding medium 2 on the basis of a group of data strings sequentially obtained from the arrays of unit data parts 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Imaging device with improved lamp mode

PCT designated stageWO2025207337A1Sensing by mechanical meansSensing by electromagnetic radiationRadiologyNuclear medicine
Systems and methods for providing an improved lamp mode for an imaging device. The imaging device may include an image sensor; an illumination source; and a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the image sensor and the illumination source, and the processing assembly may be configured to: responsive to a scanning event trigger, cause the imaging device to enter a first illumination mode, wherein, in the first illumination mode, a first activation duration of the illumination source is synchronized with an image frame rate of the image sensor to capture image data at the image sensor for indicia decoding; and responsive to sensing an external signal at the imaging device, cause the imaging device to enter or exit a second illumination mode, wherein, in the second illumination mode, a second activation duration of the illumination source is greater than the first activation duration.

Card reader with enhanced tamper resistance

PendingEP4479957A4Complete banking machinesSensing by mechanical means
A card reader can include a card insertion slot, a conveyor member, a card-reading head, and a pendulum sensor assembly. The card insertion slot can receive a card from a user. The conveyor member can be configured to move the card along a transport path extending at least partially within the card reader. The card-reading head can be positioned along the transport path, directed toward the transport path. The card-reading head can be configured to read data held on a magnetic strip or held on an embedded chip. The pendulum sensor assembly can include a pendulum and a first sensor. The pendulum can extend into the transport path and can be freely-pivotable about a pivot axis. The first sensor can be configured to detect an angular position of the pendulum about the pivot axis.
