  • Publication number: 20240066763
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for taking out a molded product that facilitates setting of a user-set lower limit value while maintaining on-off control. A negative pressure control portion includes a determining portion for determining a pressure valve resumption time period that is used to resume a suctioning operation such that an inflection point does not become lower than a user-set lower limit value. The negative pressure control portion continuously performs an off operation, which is performed to keep a pressure valve closed until the pressure valve resumption time period elapses after the suctioning operation is stopped, and an on operation, which is performed to open the pressure valve and keep the pressure valve open until a negative pressure reaches a stable value or an upper limit set value, until suctioning of a molded product is canceled.

  • Patent number: 11120533
    Abstract: An information processing method includes: acquiring fixed values which are imaging conditions of a first image formed in a state in which a background and a predetermined subject located in front of the background are within an imaging visual field, from the first image; acquiring a learning image as background learning data, wherein the learning image is captured using the fixed values in a second image formed in a state in which the subject is outside of the imaging visual field; extracting a difference image between the background learning data and an input image obtained by capturing the first image using the fixed values; and generating a combined image obtained by combining the difference image with a combination background image.

  • Patent number: 6804386
    Abstract: An optical member inspection apparatus includes an inspection optical system having a light source, and a diffusing means for diffusing the light emitted from the light source. The diffusing means has a central portion and a peripheral portion. The diffusion transmittance of the peripheral portion is higher than the diffusion transmittance of the central portion. The inspection optical system is also provided with an image pick-up means to pick-up an image of the optical member to be inspected, and is positioned so as to receive that light emitted from the light source and transmitted through the diffusing means and the optical member. A judging means is also provided, for judging whether or not the optical member has a defect, in accordance with image signals output from the image pick-up means.

  • Patent number: 6717683
    Abstract: A target, which is photographed with an object at a spot for a photogrammtric analytical measurement, comprises first, second, third standard point members and assistant point members. The standard point members and the assistant point members are covered by a reflecting sheet. A distance between the first and second standard point members equals a distance between the second and third standard point members. Two assistant point members are positioned on a first straight line connecting the first and second standard point members. One assistant point member is positioned on a second straight line connecting the second and third standard point members. The distance between the first and second standard point members, the distance between the second and third standard point members, and an angle defined by the first and second straight lines, are predetermined.

  • Patent number: 6628803
    Abstract: A three points range of high brightness and a four points range of high brightness in a photographed image are selected. It is checked if an identical end point is shared by the three and four points range selected. It is checked if a center of gravity corresponding to the identical end point, a center of gravity corresponding to another end point of the three points rage opposite to the identical end point, and a center of gravity corresponding to another end point of the four points range opposite to the identical end point, meet a positional relationship between standard points of a target.
