  • Publication number: 20240115010
    Abstract: In a shoe fit evaluation system, a dimensional difference calculator calculates a part dimensional difference, which is a difference between a measurement value of a foot part dimension and a last part dimension corresponding to the foot part, by performing a certain adjustment for the part. An evaluation processor calculates a last matching rate based on the part dimensional difference. An outputter outputs information regarding the last matching rate. The dimensional difference calculator calculates the part dimensional difference by performing, as the certain adjustment, subtraction of an allowance for specific stretch properties of each shoe part.

  • Patent number: 11319846
    Abstract: An oil separator is provided, which can accurately control an interval between an introduction hole of a gaseous body and a separation member, and can ensure a stable and high separation performance. An oil separator 30 includes a wall portion 31 having a plurality of orifices 32, and a holding portion 34 holding a separation member 33. A facing surface 33A of the separation member 33 is disposed along a front face portion 42A of a positioning portion 42 having a plurality of opening portions 42D, so that an interval L between the orifices 32 and the facing surface 33A of the separation member 33 accurately has a desired distance. A gas separated from an oil smoothly flows downward along a flow path formed by the opening portions 42D so as to reduce a pressure loss.

  • Patent number: 11105232
    Abstract: A fluid conduit allowing a fluid to flow therethrough is provided, which can increase airtightness by a partition wall without reducing the accuracy of a size or a shape of an orifice provided in the partition wall. A partition wall 10 of a fluid conduit 1 is formed by joining an upper-side partition wall portion 11 and a lower-side partition wall portion 12 by welding. The lower-side partition wall portion 12 includes a joint-side portion 13 and an orifice-side portion (a wall portion 31), and while providing a joint portion 19 to the upper-side partition wall portion 11 in the joint-side portion 13, the orifice 32 is provided in the orifice-side portion, so that the joint portion 19 and the orifice 32 are disposed in a position shifted from each other when viewed from a joint direction.
