Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information for identifying a position of a plane in a captured image, where the captured image includes a structure composed of a plurality of planes as an object, a determination unit configured to determine a correspondence relationship between a region corresponding to the plane in the captured image and a region in an overhead image to be created, according to the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a generation unit configured to correct an image of the region corresponding to the plane in the captured image so that the corrected image corresponds to the region in the overhead image to be created, according to the correspondence relationship determined by the determination unit, and generate an overhead image composed of a plurality of corrected images that are combined with each other.

Abstract: Herein described is a photovoltaic module (30) that comprises a rectangular module body (61) and a frame (60) secured to the sides of the body. The frame is composed of an upper bar (63), a lower bar (64) and a pair of side bars (65 and 66). The upper bar (63) has an insertion projection (71) projecting from a part which is middle in thickness direction of the upper bar. The projection (71) is thinner than the upper bar (63).

Abstract: A method of molding an aromatic polyimide resin, comprising compression molding an aromatic polyimide resin composition powder comprising an aromatic polyimide resin and a fluorine resin added thereto, and then sintering the compression molded product in a mixed gas atmosphere of oxygen and inert gas, having the oxygen concentration of 0.1 to 10% at 360.degree. to 480.degree. C., or sintering the compression molded product in an inert gas atmosphere and then heat treating the same in a mixed gas atmosphere of oxygen and inert gas at 360.degree. to 480.degree. C. This method can solve the problems on color shade and strength due to sintering in the case of molding an aromatic polyimide resin having a fluorine resin added thereto, and can provide a polyimide molding having excellent quality.

Abstract: A novel glycidyl sulfonamide compound having a (poly)siloxane main chain of its molecule is used alone or in admixture with an epoxy resin to give a cured material being excellent in flexibility, elongation and impact strength without deteriorating thermal resistance, chemical resistance and water absorption thereof. An epoxy resin composition or a resin composition for an epoxy paint containing a glycidyl sulfonamide compound, the epoxy resin and a curling agent for epoxy resin provides a cured material or a coating film having the above-mentioned excellent properties. A process for preparing a glycidyl sulfonamide compound characterized in that subjecting an amine modified silicone having a (poly)siloxane main chain of its molecule to condensation reaction with a sulfonyl chloride to give a sulfonamide compound, which is subjected to an addition reaction with an epihalohydrin to give the glycidyl sulfonamide compound.
