Latest Patent Applications

Masahide Hioki has filed a patent application for a "CODE PLATE OF OPTICAL ENCODER." This invention discloses a code plate that features a planar portion located on a surface where a light flux for detection is applied. Additionally, it includes a non-planar portion arranged alternately with the planar portion, comprised of multiple convex and concave structures. These structures are continuously intersecting in a parallel direction to the arrangement of both portions. The longitudinal direction of the planar and non-planar portions aligns with the radial direction of the code plate, while the direction in which they are arranged alternately corresponds to the circumferential direction of the code plate. The non-planar portion, which forms the concave and convex structures, is created by arranging multiple V-shaped structures in the longitudinal direction. This arrangement allows the width of the V-shaped structures to remain unrestricted by the width of the non-planar portion in the parallel direction.

Conclusion

Masahide Hioki's work in optical encoder technology showcases his innovative approach to enhancing detection systems. His patent application reflects a significant advancement in the field, demonstrating his commitment to innovation.
