Abstract: A measured fluorescence amount and a previously set threshold value ?1 are compared and when the measured fluorescence amount exceeds the threshold value ?1, a message such as “curing reaction completion” is issued. Note that when this “curing reaction completion” is issued, an irradiation end instruction is given to a light source part from a curing reaction detector, and irradiation of a curing ultraviolet ray is stopped. Along with the stop of the curing ultraviolet ray, the irradiation of an exciting ultraviolet ray is also stopped.

Abstract: An image processing portion (1) performs binarization, segmentation, and feature extraction of a received image using a RAM (2), compares the extracted feature with specific pattern data stored in a dictionary data memory (3), performs recognition processing, and provides recognition results to a CPU (4). The dictionary data memory is a volatile memory, in which specific pattern data held by the CPU is written by the CPU when power is turned on. Since the data stored in the volatile memory is erased when power is turned off, the dictionary data memory can be removed and the contents are analyzed when the power is turned off without causing any trouble.

Abstract: An optical reflection sensor emits light and its reflection from a target object is received. A signal processor carries out a measurement on the received reflected light such as the distance to the target object each time the reflected light is received. Repeatability of measured values is calculated and displayed on a display device incorporated into the housing of the sensor. The display device may have two display areas such that the calculated repeatability and the measured value can be displayed simultaneously. The calculated repeatability may be compared with a specified threshold value, with the result of the comparison displayed. The housing may also incorporate an input device through which a required level of accuracy may be set.
