Abstract: When a preform having been molded while released from a mold at an earlier timing in an injection stretch blow molding machine is stretched and blow molded, the bottom of the preform is prevented from rupturing and the bottom of a hollow molded article is prevented from being uneven in wall thickness to produce such a hollow molded article without defect bottom by the injection stretch blow molding machine. An injection molding process of injection molding a preform; and a blow molding process of blow molding the preform to obtain a hollow molded article. The blow molding process allows a tip of a stretching rod cooled to a temperature between 50° C. and 90° C. to be brought into contact with the bottom of the preform in a softened state, and to press down the bottom of the preform while the bottom is cooled.

Abstract: There are provided a dispensing inspection device, a dispensing inspection method, a program, and a recording medium capable of inspecting whether dispensing is appropriately performed with high reliability. By obtaining a first image captured by imaging a rear surface of a medicine sheet and a second image obtained by imaging a lateral side thereof, and a third image obtained by irradiating a front surface of a fractional medicine with light from an inclined lower side, detecting a medicine name using OCR and/or code recognition from the first image, detecting the number of medicine sheets from the second image, detecting the number of fractional medicines from the third image, detecting a total number of medicines from the number of the medicine sheets and the number of the fractional medicines, and determining whether a medicine name and the number of medicines in prescription information and the detected medicine name and the detected total number of medicines match each other.

Abstract: An instruction to execute a print job in which a feeding stage of an image forming apparatus has been designated for each copy is accepted. The execution of the accepted print job is controlled. In addition, if the execution of the print job is a hold printing operation in the image forming apparatus, an operation to change a copy count via an interface screen is controlled.

Abstract: An illumination unit that can illuminate a drug having a stamped character thereon in a plurality of illumination directions surrounding the drug sequentially switches the direction in which the drug is illuminated. An imaging unit repeatedly captures the image of the drug whenever the illumination direction of the illumination unit is switched. A feature image extraction unit analyzes the captured image in each illumination direction and extracts a feature image corresponding to the shadow of the stamped character from each captured image. A feature image integration unit integrates the feature images in each illumination direction which are extracted by the feature image extraction unit to generate an integrated image. The recognition unit recognizes the stamped character included in the integrated image which is generated by the feature image integration unit and recognizes the type of drug on the basis of the result of recognizing the stamped character.

Abstract: Provided are an alternative medicine retrieval apparatus and an alternative medicine retrieval method capable of presenting information regarding an alternative medicine sufficiently suitable for a user's preference and a pharmacy handling the alternative medicine to the user.

Abstract: The present invention enables injection by an injection device to be carried out in an early stage while obviating nozzle touch, and shortens the molding cycle of an injection stretch blow molding machine. In the present invention, an injection device 20, which is designed to perform injection when a value counted up by a timer reaches a set count value, is linked and fixed to a hot runner device 19 of an injection stretch blow molding machine 1. The count start point of the timer is set to: a stage in which a rotating plate rotates; a stage in which the rotating plate is made to stop rotating and is non-rotatably fixed; or a stage in which mold clamping of an upper mold and a lower mold begins.

The pillar extends from the side sill to the roof rail, and each of the side sill, the roof rail, and the pillar are made of fiber-reinforced plastic. At least one of the side sill, the roof rail, and the pillar has a recess concave transversely outwardly relative to the automotive body. The recess has an opening that opens transversely inwardly relative to the automotive body. The recess is defined by two side walls bent from flanges and extending transversely outwardly relative to the automotive body, and a bottom wall joined to the side walls. The side walls have portions joined to the flanges, the portions of the side walls being thicker than the bottom wall.

Abstract: Provided is a stack-type lens array capable of preventing a lens from peeling off due to stress during dicing or vibration and impact when used. The stack-type lens array is formed by stacking and bonding two lens sheets in which micro lenses are arranged on a flat portion at predetermined intervals. Antireflection films are vapor-deposited on a convex surface and a concave surface of the lens and a light shielding film is vapor-deposited such that a circular opening is formed at the center of the concave surface. The opening serves as a diaphragm aperture of the lens. An exposed surface in which neither the antireflection film nor the light shielding film is vapor-deposited is provided outside the light shielding film between adjacent lenses. A dicing line is set at the center of the exposed surface. An adhesive layer is formed in a predetermined pattern on the exposed surface.

Abstract: In a printing system, print data for executing printing by performing a composition with registered form data, and form data to be registered for the printing are associated and held. In a case where an instruction to print the print data is accepted, it is controlled to register the form data and then execute printing of the print data.
