Abstract: An input output (IO) control device connects a plurality of devices with each other, and includes a plurality of ports to which the plurality of devices are connected and a control unit that controls the plurality of ports with each other, and the control unit collects a log of a the collection target port designated by a log collection instruction among the plurality of ports when the log collection instruction is received from any one of the plurality of devices through a first port to which the corresponding device is connected among the plurality of ports.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first transfer unit that receives data and transfers the data to a second transfer unit per a predetermined unit of transfer; and the second transfer unit that sends the data that is received from the first transfer unit, wherein the first transfer unit includes: a first calculator that calculates first error information on the whole received data on the basis of the received data; a second calculator that calculates, on the basis of the data that is sent by the second transfer unit, second error information on the whole sent data; and an error detector that compares the first error information and the second error information to detect an error.

Abstract: As the number of pixels in a digital camera is increased, the power consumption is increased due to an increased quantity of data to be photographed, which inevitably requires a large capacity of battery and an increased camera weight. In order to enhance a picture quality, an optical system is also required to have a larger scale, with the result that the casing of the camera becomes large. In facilities such as an amusement part, since the user carries the camera for a long time, the heavy, large-sized camera becomes cumbersome to deal with. The camera is installed at a photographing spot in the facilities, the camera is provided with a means for performing wireless communication with a portable device carried by the user, and photographed image data is saved in a recording medium of the portable device or in a server connected between the camera and a network.

Abstract: A hot flaw detector is equipped with a sensor holding member that has a circular opening through which the material to be inspected will pass and that holds a flaw detecting sensor. Provision is made of an annular cooling liquid injection port that is open at an end of the sensor holding member adjacent to the inner peripheral wall of the circular opening, and provision is further made of an annular cooling liquid introduction port that is open at the other end of the sensor holding member adjacent to the inner peripheral wall of the circular opening. The cooling liquid is injected from the annular cooling liquid injection port, and forms a liquid film along the inner peripheral wall of the circular opening, and is recovered through the annular cooling liquid introduction port. The inner peripheral wall of the sensor holding member is effectively cooled by the liquid film which drips little onto the material to be inspected.

Abstract: Errors occurring in information signals (each including control signals), dummy codes and attribute flags for the information signals and the dummy codes, transferred from a transmitting circuit to a receiving circuit through an interface line, with frames arranged in a serial transfer form are detected by using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The dummy codes and attribute flags for the dummy codes are not used in this checking. The re-transmission of signals in the frame resulting from a CRC error generated by the attribute flag for the dummy code changing to that of a control signal in the frame is avoided by: (1) providing, at the transmitting circuit, flags for determining the existence and the number of the control signal in the frame in front of the succeeding frame, and (2) comparing signals, relating to the flags, detected in the receiving circuit with the flags.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for non-destructive inspection of flaws in metal materials include exciting coils centered on a longitudinal axis of a cylindrical or columnar metallic material to be examined being arranged to surround the examinee material. A multiphase alternating current of such a relatively low frequency as to cause the exciting coils to generate a rotating magnetic field which rotates about the longitudinal axis of the examinee material is superimposed with a high frequency alternating current having an inspection frequency selected on the basis of the necessary sensitivity for detection of surface flaws of the examinee material. The composite multiphase current is applied to the exciting coils so that an electromagnetic effect induced in the surface of the examinee material by the high frequency alternating current is rotated for shifting circumferentially about the examinee material along with the rotating magnetic field.
