Abstract: A communication apparatus includes an authentication unit and a communication unit. The authentication unit authenticates a target person. The communication unit transmits and receives information to and from a first terminal associated with the target person when the authentication has succeeded. In other words, the communication apparatus performs bidirectional communication with the first terminal. The first terminal is operated by, for example, a different person from the target person. At least a part of information transmitted by the communication unit to the first terminal is related to the target person. Further, at least a part of information received by the communication unit from the first terminal includes information from a person who operates the first terminal to the target person.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a processing unit, a judgement unit, and a communication unit. The processing unit generates state information indicating a state of a target person by processing an image in which the target person is captured. The judgement unit performs, by using the state information, at least one of processing of determining first information needed to be transmitted to a first terminal and processing of deciding whether to transmit the first information to the first terminal. The first terminal is associated with the target person, and is operated by a different person from the target person. The communication unit transmits the first information to the first terminal. The communication apparatus can also support decision-making on how to respond to the target person.

Abstract: An image acquisition apparatus includes an output control unit and an image acquisition unit. The output control unit causes an output unit to output a content. The image acquisition unit acquires an image generated by an image capture unit, the image includes a person and is an image for authentication. The image capture unit is located in a position where a face of the person can be captured when the person faces to the output unit. Further, the output control unit continues to cause the output unit to output the content until a first condition being set in order to make the authentication succeed is satisfied.

Abstract: For supporting a decision whether a medicine is suitable for a target, a suitability state decision apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a decision unit. The acquisition unit acquires a first image being an image when a target takes a medicine. The decision unit generates, by using the first image, suitability state information indicating a suitability state of the target relating to the medicine. The suitability state information includes, for example, at least one of information indicating whether the target feels comfortable to take the medicine and information indicating whether the target feels reluctant to take the medicine.

Abstract: An automatic tool changer includes a cover that partitions a machining area and a non-machining area, and an opening/closing member that opens/closes an opening of the cover by turning in synchronization with rotation of a tool changer magazine. The opening/closing member includes a plate section partitions the machining area and the non-machining area at a position of the opening of the cover. In a case where the tool changer magazine performs tool replacement with respect to a tool storage magazine, the plate section closes the opening of the cover by taking a horizontal posture. In a case where the tool changer magazine performs tool replacement with respect to a main spindle, the plate section opens the opening of the cover by changing its posture from the horizontal posture to an inclined posture or a vertical posture.

Abstract: Provided is a work assistance device that enables the working time of a worker to be reduced in a reliable manner. A work assistance device according to one embodiment of the present invention is equipped with: a reading means and a projection control means. The reading means sequentially reads from a work storage means, in accordance with the order of the steps of work performed by a worker, a projection data set for each of the steps. The work storage means stores a work procedure wherein the projection data set is associated with the order of the steps, said projection data set including an indication display that includes a visually recognizable visual representation which indicates, for each of the steps, a location where the work for that step is performed and a member to be handled in the work for that step.

Abstract: High precision machining is enabled by eliminating the need for a conventional swiveling table, and by enhancing rigidity for supporting a work by relatively reducing the distance from the top surface of a stationary body section (1) to the position for machining a work by means of a tool on a rotary spindle (17). A pair of guide tracks (28a, 28b) respectively passing two positions separated in the X axis direction of the stationary body section (1) and in the Z axis direction intersecting the X axis direction perpendicularly are allowed to guide feed tables (30a, 30b) to be movable independently.
