Abstract: The face authentication device includes a plurality of collation means which distribute and store a plurality of face feature quantities corresponding to a plurality of faces based on values of shard keys, an acquisition means, a shard key calculation means, and an authentication means. The acquisition means acquires an input face image. The shard key calculation means extracts a plurality of line segments, each defined by feature points of a face, from the input face image and calculates a ratio of the plurality of line segments as the shard key. The authentication means performs authentication of the input face image using the collation means corresponding to the value of the calculated shard key.

Abstract: A piston-integrated seal has a seal lip integrally provided in a clutch piston of a hydraulic clutch and directed to a hydraulic chamber side. In the seal lip, a main seal edge portion in a hydraulic chamber side and a sub seal edge portion in an anti-hydraulic chamber side are formed in a sliding portion in relation to the other sliding surface. In the main seal edge portion and the sub seal edge portion, an angle of an inclined surface in the hydraulic chamber side is smaller than an angle of an inclined surface in the anti-hydraulic chamber side in a un-installed state, and the angle of the inclined surface in the hydraulic chamber side in relation to the other sliding surface is approximately equal to the angle of the inclined surface in the anti-hydraulic chamber side in an installed state, thereby reducing friction difference in a sliding direction.

Abstract: A check valve in which a valve opens to allow a fluid to flow out when a differential pressure of a pressure in one area with respect to that in the other area becomes large and remains closed even when the pressure in the other area becomes higher than that in the one area includes a lip in contact with an opposed face provided at a position opposite to the check valve, wherein the lip is constructed so as to be in contact with the opposed face in such a way that the tip of the lip is bent to a side of the other area and a satin finish is given to the whole area of a surface of the lip that could be brought into contact with the opposed face.

Abstract: To prevent falling away of a backup ring (3) from a main lip (12) when uninstalled to a device and prevent inverse assembling, a sealing device is provided with an attaching ring (11), a main lip (12) integrally provided on an inner periphery of the attaching ring, and a backup ring (3) supported to a backup ring support portion (15) formed on an inner periphery of the main lip (12) so as to be positioned at an atmospheric air side than a sliding surface with a shaft, the backup ring support portion (15) and the backup ring (3) are fitted to each other with their fitting surfaces (15a, 31a) which become smaller in diameter relatively toward an outer side in an axial direction, whereby the backup ring (3) is fitted to the backup ring support portion (15) and has directionality in the fitting surfaces (15a, 31a).

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a waveform of an input signal on a display includes a synchronization detecting circuit, a sweep generating circuit, a horizontal axis drive circuit, a switching circuit, a variable gain amplifier, a vertical axis drive circuit, and a vertical location arrangement circuit. The horizontal axis drive circuit drives the horizontal axis of the display on the basis of a sweep signal generated at the sweep generating circuit synchronously with a sweep trigger signal obtained by dividing synchronization detecting pulses from the synchronization detecting circuit by N (N-1, 2, . . . ). The switching circuit alternately transfers the input signal and a cursor signal at a high rate to provide a multiplexed input/cursor signal to the vertical axis drive circuit through the variable gain amplifier.

Abstract: The apparatus for displaying a clamp point on a screen includes an input amplifier; a clamp circuit which includes a sync separation circuit and a one shot; and a blanking circuit. The video signal is applied to the clamp circuit via the input amplifier and the output signal therefrom is applied to the blanking circuit to be modulated with respect to its brightness. Thus, the brightness-modulated clamp point is readily located on a screen of, for example, an oscilloscope.

The line and frame sweep signal generating circuits 2 and 3 generate line and frame sweep signals S.sub.2 and S.sub.3 synchronously with line and frame synchronization signals of the video signal, respectively, and the switching circuit 4 alternatively transfers the line and frame sweep signals S.sub.2 and S.sub.3, synchronously with the frame synchronization signal to generate a complex sweep signal S.sub.4.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of calibrating electronic scales for the horizontal axis of an oscilloscope is provided. For each of two electronic scales or cursors, output voltages of a horizontal deflection circuit are generated. A measurement is made to determine a time interval in which the voltage of a sweep waveform, generated by a sweep waveform generator and appearing at the output of the horizontal deflection circuit, passes the two output voltages. The slope of the sweep waveform generated by the sweep waveform generator is adjusted such that the time interval coincides with a target time interval.
