Abstract: The present invention realizes an inspection method for inspecting corrosion under insulation. This inspection method according to the present invention makes it possible to inspect corrosion easily and economically in piping furnished with heat insulators. The inspection method is an inspection method for inspecting corrosion under insulation, in piping to which an heat insulator is provided, and includes providing a fiber optical Doppler sensor to the piping; and inspecting the corrosion in the piping by using the fiber optical Doppler sensor.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a camera apparatus that can take images over a long period of time while automatically controlling, in white balance, the images.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a camera apparatus that can keep the aperture within an appropriate range, and keep, within a designated range, the luminance of images to be taken over a long period of time.

Abstract: A video camera having a plurality of solid-state image sensors in an imaging part uses two kinds of vertical drive signals different in the number of vertical transfer operations, to produce a time lag equal to one horizontal period between the output signals of the solid-state image sensors without changing the optical positional relation between the solid-state image sensors, thereby delaying the red and blue signals with respect to the green signal by one horizontal period based on the application of the two kinds of vertical drive signals.

Abstract: In a composite bearing material including a metal strip, a porous sintered metal matrix layer bonded to a surface of said metal strip and a resin composition impregnated into and substantially filling the voids in said porous metal layer and forming a continuous surface layer thereon, the resin composition consists essentially of a blend of 60 to 95 percent by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene and 40 to 5 percent by weight of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, and mostly all of the copolymer in the composition is included in the surface layer in the form of a fibrillated network.
