  • Patent number: 12072297
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus selects, as a reference defect, at least one defect from among first defects associated with a first image and selects, as a correction target defect, at least one defect from among second defects associated with a second image captured at a time different from an image capturing time of the first image. Additionally, the information processing apparatus generates a correction candidate by modifying the correction target defect, acquires a matching level representing a matching relationship between the reference defect and the correction candidate, and generates a corrected defect by correcting the correction target defect based on the matching level. Then, the information processing apparatus acquires a progress level representing a change in defect from the reference defect based on a comparison between the reference defect and the corrected defect.

  • Patent number: 12070844
    Abstract: A hydraulic hammering device enables an auto-stroke mode and an idle strike prevention mode to coexist with a simple circuit configuration. The device includes a first control valve to control advancing and retracting movements of a piston, an auto-stroke mode and an idle strike prevention mode, and a second control valve to select either of the auto-stroke mode or the idle strike prevention mode. To the second control valve, a shared spool is slidably fitted and a mode selection means is disposed. When the mode selection means allows supply of pressurized oil to an auto-stroke setting portion of the shared spool and prohibits discharge of pressurized oil from an idle strike prevention setting portion, the auto-stroke mode is selected. When prohibiting supply of pressurized oil to the auto-stroke setting portion and allowing discharge of pressurized oil from the idle strike prevention setting portion, the idle strike prevention mode is selected.
