Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a search unit configured to search for inspection information in which a first image in which an inspection target is captured and a defect region of the first image are associated, the inspection information corresponding to a second image in which the inspection target is captured, an extraction unit configured to extract a region corresponding to the second image from the inspection information corresponding to the second image searched for by the search unit, and a generation unit configured to generate information for presenting the region corresponding to the second image extracted by the extraction unit so that that the region is comparable against the second image.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus operable to send, to a client, region information in response to a region specifying request received from the client via the Internet, wherein the apparatus comprises a managing unit which manages mapping information in which user information and region information are associated, a collation unit which, in a case where a region specifying request is received from a client, collates the mapping information, and a response unit which, in a case where a collation result indicates that corresponding user information is present in the mapping information, sends, to the client, corresponding region information as a response, and in a case where a collation result indicates that corresponding user information is not present in the mapping information, sends, to the client, mendacious region information as a response.

Abstract: A compressor casing defines an air inlet port, an air intake passage with an impeller accommodated therein, a diffuser and a scroll all communicated with each other in the order named. An annually extending chamber is formed between the passage and the scroll and has an opening opened sideways of the impeller in the passage, enhancing an ability of discharging a surging-occuring range to a lower flow rage. The compressor casing may be divided into a casing main body and an inner casing so as to decrease fabrication cost of the compressor casing.

Abstract: Nozzle shafts and a nozzle drive mechanism are disposed on the side of a bearing casing and a compressor whose temperatures are lower than that of a turbine, and elements slidable in the radial direction of the turbine wheel are eliminated from the nozzle drive mechanism so that any adverse effects due to oxidization at high temperatures and slide wear can be eliminated. Thus durability and reliability of the device can be improved.

Abstract: A turbine casing, a shroud and a gas outlet cover together define a closed doughnut-shaped space. A nozzle driving ring inserted in the space is slidably clamped by the turbine casing and the gas outlet cover. Nozzle shafts extending from nozzle blades are connected through links to the nozzle driving ring. The nozzle driving ring can be driven from outside the space. The nozzle driving ring for simultaneously varying the angle of the nozzle blades is restrained in the axial direction effectively with a high degree of accuracy.

Abstract: A pin which acts as a spring directly extends through an outer race without use of an outer-race casing and a pin holder and the central portion of the pin supports the outer race. Axial movement of the pin beyond a predetermined range is restricted by snap rings fitted on the both ends of the pin. An oil film is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the outer race and the inner peripheral surface of casings and oil reservoirs are also defined to damp axial movement of the outer race. That is, the pin which acts as a spring directly extends through the outer race of the bearing in parallel with a rotating shaft and the central portion of the pin elastically supports the outer race. The ends of the pin are supported by the casings through the snap rings. A space in which an oil film functioning as an oil film damper is formed is defined by the outer peripheral surface of the outer race and the inner peripheral surface of the casings.
