Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal display device that has excellent visibility while using a protective film comprising a polyester film. The liquid crystal display device comprises a backlight light source, and a liquid crystal cell disposed between two polarizers; the backlight light source being a white light-emitting diode; each of the polarizers comprising a polarizing film and protective films laminated on both sides of the polarizing film; and at least one of the protective films being a polyester film having a retardation of 3,000 to 30,000 nm.

Abstract: When the position of a target moving in a monitoring region is intermittently detected, the position of the target is predicted in a higher precision. The prediction precision of the position of the target can be improved by calculating an existence probability distribution of the target and by accumulating the data of the intermittent detection by use of the Bayes' theorem.

Abstract: A numerical controller includes a storage area for storing startable start-up settings and a database for storing start-up setting values that inhibit the completion of a start-up. If a start-up has been completed at the time of start-up, current start-up settings are stored in the storage area as startable settings. If the start-up has not been completed, start-up setting values that inhibit the completion are registered in the database, the current settings are reconstructed to startable settings, and the numerical controller is restarted. After start-up settings are changed, the database is searched. If the same start-up settings as the changed start-up setting are found, the found start-up settings are outputted.

Abstract: A numerical controller includes a drawing processing unit that draws a screen on a display unit, an image display cycle measurement processing unit that measures a display cycle of the screen, and a drawing quality change processing unit that determines drawing quality of the screen based on the display cycle or a CPU processing amount estimated from the display cycle. The drawing processing unit draws the screen according to the drawing quality determined by the drawing quality change processing unit.

Abstract: A numerical controller provided with a function of registration and management of an application and capable of coping with a case in which necessary operation is changed in accordance with a situation, includes an application manager which registers the application to an operation process and manages an operation state and the present operation process among the operation process, and a menu display application which executes display control of a screen based on the operation state of the application acquired from the application manager. The application manager outputs a notification of start of the operation process to the application when the operation process is started, instructs the menu display application to emphasize and display the application when receiving a notification of a request of input of a user from the application, and advances the operation to the next operation process when all applications registered to the present operation process are completed.

Abstract: A rotor structure for a rotary electric machine in which an inner surface of a hollow rotor core and an outer surface of a shaft inserted into a hole of the rotor core are fitted together by mutual engagement between a projection and a recess to compose a rotor, the rotor structure including: a first retainer brought into contact with one end of the rotor core; and a second retainer brought into contact with a surface of the first retainer opposite to a surface in contact with the rotor core so as to fix the first retainer and the rotor core to the shaft, wherein a coefficient of static friction of a first sliding surface between the first retainer and the second retainer is smaller than any other sliding surface provided in the rotor.

Abstract: A data collecting processing part of a machine tool collects data indicating a state of a component at any time and sends the data. A maintenance timing prediction device has a collection data storing part that stores the data, a component replacement history storing part that stores a replacement history of the component, and a component lifetime prediction processing part that predicts a lifetime as the next replacement timing of the component. The component lifetime prediction processing part extracts data indicating a similar trend at the past replacement date of the component by referring to the component replacement history storing part and the collection data storing part, and predicts a threshold as data at the next replacement timing based on the latest replacement date of the component and the trend according to the extracted data, and predicts the lifetime based on the threshold.

Abstract: A numerical controller includes: a screen display section that displays a screen to which a screen identifier identifying a screen is added; an image storage section that stores, as image data, the screen displayed on the screen display section; a memo input section that adds memo data to the image data; and a memo management section that records the memo data and the screen identifier so as to be associated with each other.
