Abstract: A result acquisition unit (130) obtains, for each candidate setting, a simulation result of a case where a candidate setting is applied to the one or more units of equipment. A satisfaction level calculation unit (140) calculates, for each candidate setting, a satisfaction level on a basis of the simulation result. A constraint level calculation unit (150) calculates, for each candidate setting, a constraint level on a basis of the simulation result. A candidate optimization unit (160) judges superiority/inferiority of a plurality of candidate settings on a basis of the satisfaction level of each candidate setting and the constraint level of each candidate setting, and optimizes the plurality of candidate settings on a basis of a judgment result, thereby generating a plurality of new candidate settings. A selection unit selects an applicable setting from the plurality of new candidate settings. A control unit applies the applicable setting to equipment.

Abstract: A ruler having two slidable parts includes a ruler body, which is formed in rectangular shaped, the ruler body having a first recess extending longitudinally on its top surface and a second recess extending longitudinally on its side surface, a hand stand having a wheel, which is coupled with the second recess of the ruler body, and a wrist stand, the wrist stand having a wrist rest portion, a support portion for supporting the wrist rest portion, a joint connecting the wrist rest portion and the support portion, and ground portions attached to the support portion, wherein the ground portions are grounded to the bottom of the first recess.

Abstract: A lid opening/closing device includes a lid box, a lid, and an opening/closing mechanism. The opening/closing mechanism includes, as a link interposed between the lid box and the lid, a main arm rotatably supported on the lid box at one main arm end portion thereof and an auxiliary arm configured to restrict a posture of the lid during opening/closing of the lid so as to keep the lid in a predetermined posture by rotating in conjunction with rotation of the main arm. The main arm includes an arm-side restriction portion configured to come into contact with a back surface side of the lid at an opened position of the lid to restrict the main arm from rotating to an open side. An axial length of the arm-side restriction portion is longer than an axial length of the one main arm end portion.

Abstract: An epoxy resin composition contains a curing agent A, a curing agent B, a curing agent C, an epoxy resin D, an epoxy resin E, and resin particles F, wherein the curing agent A is an aromatic polyamine having a substituent selected from an alkyl group, an aromatic group, and a halogen group at each of two ortho positions of an amino group, the curing agent B is an aromatic polyamine that is liquid at 25° C., and the curing agent C is an aromatic polyamine having only one electron donating substituent or no substituent at an ortho position of an amino group, the epoxy resin D is constituted by an epoxy resin which is composed of a monomer containing 4 or more glycidyl groups, and the epoxy resin E is constituted by an epoxy resin which is composed of a monomer containing 2 or 3 glycidyl groups.

Abstract: In a lid assembly structure 1 which includes a base member 2, a lid 3, and an opening/closing mechanism 5 and in which the opening/closing mechanism 5 includes a biasing member 8, during assembling of the base member 2 and the opening/closing mechanism 5, the biasing member 8 is guided by a guide portion 90 which is a part of the opening/closing mechanism 5, and a state of the biasing member 8 is changed from a temporary assembled state where a second engagement end 82 of the biasing member 8 and a temporary engagement portion 93 engage with each other to a main assembled state where the second engagement end 82 and a main engagement portion 91 of a mating member engage with each other, thereby accumulating at least a part of a biasing force in the biasing member 8.

Abstract: A lens barrel includes: a lens frame that holds a lens and is movable in the optical axial direction of the lens; and a moving mechanism that moves the lens frame in the optical axial direction. The moving mechanism includes: a feed screw; a drive source that rotates the feed screw; a biasing member that biases the lens frame toward direction side; a nut on the direction side of the lens frame that is screwed with the feed screw; and a low-friction member between the nut and the lens frame in the optical axial direction. At least one of a friction coefficient between the lens frame and the low-friction member or a friction coefficient between the nut and the low-friction member is smaller than a friction coefficient between the lens frame and the nut when the lens frame is in contact with the nut.

Abstract: An imaging device is provided that includes: a lens barrel, an element holder adhesively secured to one end of the lens barrel while holding an imaging element; and an elastic body disposed between the lens barrel and the element holder. The lens barrel has formed thereon a projection projecting toward the element holder. The element holder has formed therein an insertion hole into which the projection is inserted. The elastic body is fitted to the projection with the projection inserted into an insertion hole in the elastic body. In the imaging device, an outer peripheral surface of the projection and an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole are in contact with each other, and the element holder is in contact with the elastic body on the periphery of the insertion hole. An adhesive is filled between the projection and the insertion hole.
