Naoki Kobayashi

Title: Naoki Kobayashi’s Patents in Infrared Sensing and Laser Technology.

Introduction

Naoki Kobayashi is an inventor associated with Hyogo, Japan, and Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd. His patent work includes technologies for infrared image processing and direct-diode laser systems. The supplied information lists 4 patents.

Latest Patents

Kobayashi’s listed recent inventions include an infrared processing system, infrared sensor system, infrared processing method, and program. The infrared processing system generates a thermal image using an initial temperature correction value, extracts an object, and then creates a second thermal image using a correction value corresponding to that object. It uses the second image to calculate the object’s temperature.

Another listed invention concerns a direct-diode laser oscillation device and a method for diagnosing its failures. The device drives laser modules at a constant current in response to commands from a system controller. Its power controller diagnoses faults by determining which predefined region of a diagnostic map corresponds to the current and voltage applied to the laser modules.
