Abstract: A program creating apparatus for an image inspection program creates the image inspection program used in an image inspection apparatus configured to capture an image of an inspection target and execute image inspection of the inspection target. The program creating apparatus includes: a processing unit configured to execute processing including creating processing of the image inspection program and operation confirmation processing of the image inspection program. The processing unit displays a program creating screen related to creating of the image inspection program on a display device, describes a flowchart by allocating items including processing items related to image inspection in accordance with a user operation on the program creating screen, thereby creating an image inspection program including image inspection items according to the flowchart, and displays processing information corresponding to each of the processing items on the program creating screen.

Abstract: An image inspection apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an inspection target; a control unit configured to process the captured image and execute predetermined image inspection; and a communication unit configured to communicate with a terminal about information input to and output from the control unit. The communication unit is capable of performing communication using a general-purpose protocol. The control unit has a web server function, acquires authentication information transmitted from the terminal to authenticate a user or a terminal based on the authentication information, receives an access request for a monitor screen regarding the image inspection from the terminal using the general-purpose protocol, generates a web content of a monitor screen corresponding to the authenticated user or terminal, and transmits the generated web content to the terminal.

Abstract: An article conveying device 10 in which a floor surface 21 of each of a plurality of fixed floors 20 is arranged so as to form a descending slope towards a downstream side in a conveying direction with respect to each other, each of a plurality of moving floors 30 is adjacently arranged on a side in the conveying direction with respect to each fixed floor 20, and a raising/lowering operation of simultaneously positioning the respective floor surface 31 of each moving floor 30 at a high position and a low position with respect to the floor surface 21 of the adjacent fixed floor 20 is repeated to arrange the floor surface 31 of each moving floor 30 positioned at the high position so as to form a descending slope towards the downstream side in the conveying direction with respect to each other.

Abstract: There is provided an article alignment apparatus 10 including an article alignment device for aligning orientations of articles by arranging two aligners 21, 21 having cylindrical surfaces, rotating each of the aligners 21 while keeping it at a predetermined inclination with respect to a horizontal direction, placing the articles on cylindrical outer surfaces of the two aligners 21, and carrying the articles from one side to the other side, in which protrusions 22 are provided on the surfaces of the aligners 21.

Abstract: An article holder for holding an article including a main body configured to receive the article, and at least one deformable article receiving member disposed on a bottom plate of the main body. The deformable article receiving member is configured to deform so as to change a receiving height of the article inserted in the main body.

Abstract: A material holding implement including a material holding member adapted for holding a material. The material holding member is made of a thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin is deformable to a material holding configuration at a temperature greater than a constant temperature, and fixable to form a material holding region adapted to apply holding forces on a circumference of the material in a using temperature range lower than the constant temperature. Furthermore, a method of changing a form of the material holding member is provided. The method includes softening the resin by increasing a temperature above the constant temperature, molding the resin into a flat plate by pinching together upper and lower dies having flat surfaces opposing each other, pinching the resin using the upper and lower dies to form a material holding configuration, and fixing the resin by decreasing the temperature below a softening point of the resin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrolytic zinc-nickel alloy plating solution, which comprises a plating solution containing zinc chloride, nickel chloride, and potassium chloride; polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 400-800 as a nonionic surfactant in an amount of 0.01-1.0 gram/liter; and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of nicotinic acid, urea, thiourea, nicotinamide, thioglycolic acid and sodium thiosulfate as a compound having a lone pair of electrons in an amount of 0.001-1.0 gram/liter. When the plating solution of the present invention is used, needle-shaped stain is not caused on a plated surface and the edge of a plated steel sheet need not be trimmed because a less amount of burning is caused thereto.

Abstract: A process for making a film including forming a composite material of a thermoplastic film into an annular original film having at least two thick portions according to the inflation process, making the annular original film into a flat shape such that the thick portions are located at substantially opposite ends thereof, and stretching the flat annular original film by clamping the thick portions.
