Abstract: An information processing apparatus, program, and information processing method performing validated numerics. Arithmetic operation of definite numbers a1 and b1 of the computer numbers in which real numbers A and B are defined by formulas (1) and (2) is performed to determine an absolute effective digit ? satisfying formula (3), A=a1+a2,|a1|?Cha,?Cea?a2<Cea??formula (1), B=b1+b2,|a1|?Chb,?Ceb?b2<Ceb??formula (2), (A,B)=(a,b)1+(a,b)2,?C??(a,b)2<C???formula (3). a1 and b1 are definite numbers whose numerical values are definite, and a2 and b2 are uncertain numbers whose numerical values are uncertain; C denotes a radix; ha and hb denote extended high order maxes that are minimum extended digits satisfying |a1|?Cha and |b1|?Chb, and ha and hb denote high order maxes that are integers; and ea, eb and ? denote the absolute effective digits that are integers.

Abstract: One of the objects is to provide a three-dimensional measuring equipment for measuring a three-dimensional surface shape of an object efficiently with high accuracy. A three-dimensional data acquisition device comprises an object position measuring sensor for detecting the position of the object in a space, a measuring camera for capturing the object, and a measuring camera position measuring sensor for detecting the position of the measuring camera in the space.

Abstract: A manufacturing process control apparatus that controls a manufacturing process divided into a plurality of steps that are controlled by a plurality of user terminals, comprising transmitting means that, when conditions for the execution of one step of said plurality of steps are met, transmits to the user terminal that controls said one step information to the effect that said step can be started, and receiving means that, when said one step of the plurality of steps is complete, receives from the user terminal that controls said one step information to the effect that said one step is complete.

Abstract: A method of executing a plurality of steps that are performed sequentially in temporal order under computer control. Each of the plurality of steps is executed by one of a plurality of terminal computers. When a terminal computer assigned to a step has completed the work in the step and is able to execute the work in the next step, it sends a work completion signal to a central processing computer. The central processing computer receives this work completion signal and prepares a work item notice that indicates that the next step can be started, such that the notice can be displayed on the screen of the terminal computer used for the next step. The terminal computer used for the next step allows the notice displayed on its screen to be clicked to start work on the next step assigned to it.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for non-contacting morphomtry of three-dimensional surface of an object such as a human body in a shorter time period and with higher precision, wherein the present non-contacting morphometry of three-dimensional surface of an object involves a plurality of measuring video heads, Ai, Bi, Ci and Di and a controlling unit for controlling the measuring time of the measuring heads and for processing and storing the obtained data from the measurements.

Abstract: A method of executing a plurality of steps that are performed sequentially in temporal order under computer control is provided wherein a central processing computer and a plurality of terminal computers are provided. Each of the plurality of steps is executed by one of the terminal computers. When one of the terminal computers assigned to a single step has completed the work in the step assigned to it and is able to execute the work in the next step, that terminal computer sends a work completion signal to the central processing computer. The central processing computer receives this work completion signal and prepares a work item notice that indicates that the next step can be started, such that the notice can be displayed on the screen of the terminal computer used for the next step. The terminal computer used for the next step allows the work item notice displayed on its display screen to be clicked to start work on the next step assigned to it.
