Title: Hiroaki Tanabe: Inventor in Detection and Automatic Door Systems.
Introduction
Hiroaki Tanabe is an inventor based in Shiga, Japan. His work includes technologies for detecting targets and controlling automatic doors. He is associated with Optex Corporation and has 3 patents.
Latest Patents
Tanabe’s recent patent work includes a detector that uses frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) electromagnetic waves. The system calculates a target’s distance and angle of arrival from reflected waves, determines the target’s position, and sets a detection region around it. Detection is then carried out within that designated region.
Another patent concerns an automatic door system with double sliding doors. It uses a sensor that transmits FMCW electromagnetic waves and receives their reflections to detect targets. The detection region covers both the passage through the doorway and areas near the door pockets, allowing the control unit to operate the doors based on sensor results.
Career Highlights
Tanabe’s listed inventions focus on applying sensing and target-position information to practical systems. His work connects electromagnetic-wave detection with the operation of automatic doors.
Collaborations
Hiroyuki Ohba and Takayasu Ikeda are identified as Tanabe’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patents.
Conclusion
Hiroaki Tanabe’s patent work at Optex Corporation centers on FMCW-based detection and its use in automatic door systems.
