Abstract: An image processing device includes: a first contamination detection circuit to detect contamination on an image reading device using a first relative threshold value calculated from a standard deviation of pixel values of a same-density region in a read image obtained by the image reading device, the image reading device reading a reference image formed on a recording medium by a line head including a plurality of inkjet heads and that has density regions of a plurality of gradations; a second contamination detection circuit to detect contamination on the image reading device using a second relative threshold value calculated from a standard deviation of pixel values of an area in the read image, the area being divided for each of the plurality of inkjet heads; and a contamination processing circuit to eliminate an influence of the contamination on the read image when at least one of the first contamination detection circuit or the second contamination detection circuit determines the contamination.

Abstract: Among arbitrary positions on the course of a sealing gun, a position ahead of and separated from the arbitrary position in the moving direction of the sealing gun by a given distance, where an application part falls within a given allowable size in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction on the basis of the sealing gun, is a first position, and a position where the application part is deviated from the allowable size is a second position. A control device corrects the course of the sealing gun that is defined by an operation plan, based on the shape of the application part measured in a measurement point located at the first position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a frozen fresh yeast formed body that is obtained by freezing fresh yeast without adding edible fat and oil or an emulsifier, maintains the leavening power of fresh yeast even after long-term storage, is not tightly consolidated with other frozen formed bodies and can be easily separated from other frozen formed bodies even when consolidated with the other frozen formed bodies, and is countable to weigh the amount of yeast. The frozen fresh yeast formed body is obtained by freezing fresh yeast and has an almost spherical shape whose maximum width is 2 to 20 cm. The frozen fresh yeast formed body has a yeast content of 25 to 40% by weight in terms of dry weight and a moisture content of 60 to 75% by weight with respect to a total weight thereof. It is preferred that a maximum contact area between the frozen fresh yeast formed bodies is 20% or less of a total surface area of the single formed body.

Abstract: There are provided a motor control device and a method for deciding a velocity instruction shape within the limit of a movement range, a velocity, and an acceleration of an object device while maintaining the acceleration as high as possible in inertia identification. The motor control device includes a position control unit for generating a velocity instruction based on a position instruction and a motor position, a velocity control unit for generating a torque instruction based on the velocity instruction and a motor velocity, and a motor drive unit for generating motor current from the torque instruction.
