Publication number: 20240066763Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Hiroki Kida, Atsushi Shirasaki, Kazutaka Ando

Patent number: 6804386Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2000Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Asahi Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshihiro Nakayama, Masato Hara, Masayuki Sugiura, Atsushi Kida

Patent number: 6717683Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: PENTAX CorporationInventors: Shigeru Wakashiro, Masato Hara, Atsumi Kaneko, Toshihiro Nakayama, Atsushi Kida, Masami Shirai, Kiyoshi Yamamoto
