Abstract: A method of planning works for robots includes creating a work plan for a plurality of robots, each having a work tool, sharing at at least one station a work to a plurality of work parts of the workpiece. The method includes the steps of calculating a distribution of the work parts to the robots, calculating, as a robot operation, a work order of the work parts and a moving path of the work tool for each of the robots based on the calculated work distribution, and calculating a disposed location of each of the robots with respect to the workpiece and a station where the robot is disposed so that an inter-robot interference does not occur during execution of the calculated robot operation.

Abstract: A capacitor includes: a capacitor element; a pair of external electrodes provided at opposite ends of the capacitor element; and a pair of metal caps and or a metal foil, the pair of metal caps each covering a corresponding one of the pair of external electrodes, the metal foil covering at least part of the capacitor element.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a light-transmissive cover, which does not deteriorate luminance of images projected from a display unit, while easily suppressing heat input from the sun into the display unit of a head-up display without using an expensive member. The present invention is a light-transmissive member for use in a head-up display device, and the light-transmissive member is formed of a polycarbonate-based resin composition, has a thickness in a range of 0.2 to 0.6 mm and contains composite tungsten oxide particles as an infrared ray shielding agent, wherein a content of the composite tungsten oxide particles, A (weight %), and a thickness of a layer containing the composite tungsten oxide particles, B (mm), satisfy the following formula (1): 0.02?A×B?0.12.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microneedle and a microneedle array. More specifically, it relates to a microneedle and a microneedle array capable of injecting a drug into the surface layer or horny layer of the skin easily, safely and efficiently.

Abstract: An adaptive control device and adaptive control method, and a control device of an injection molding machine, which allow optimal adaptive control to be performed automatically and easily, while preventing a degradation of responsiveness. The adaptive control device is configured to perform feedback control in such a manner that an operation value is output based on a command value and a feedback value which is a sum of a controlled value output from a controlled target and a compensation value output from a parallel feed-forward compensator; wherein the parallel feed-forward compensator includes: an identification section which sequentially estimates a frequency response characteristic of the controlled target and an adjustment section which adjusts the compensation value based on the estimated frequency response characteristic.

Abstract: A microneedle and a microneedle array, which have both aspects of safety and easiness to use and can administer a predetermined dose of a medical agent without causing a pain by smoothly running into the skin surface layer of a patient, includes a frustum and a forward end portion thereon, the forward end portion having a forward end apex angle in the range of 15 to 60° and a forward end diameter in the range of 1 to 20 ?m and satisfying the expression H/D?5, where H is a total height of the microneedle, and D is a diameter of a bottom surface of the frustum).
