  • Patent number: 5621822
    Abstract: A focus position detecting method includes: obtaining quantized two-dimensional image data including an object to be in focus with respect to an optical system by imaging the object through the optical system, defining a specified area in the two-dimensional image data; defining a partial image in the specified area, the partial image being composed of a target pixel and peripheral pixels on a line in a specified direction in which the target pixel exists; defining a left area and a right area respectively positioned on left and right sides of the target pixel on the line in the specified direction; calculating gray-level data of each pixel in the left area; calculating gray-level data of each pixel in the right area; obtaining as a gray-level ratio a ratio of calculation result of the left area to calculation result of the right area; calculating an evaluation function by means of the gray-level ratio by repeating the gray-level ratio calculating step in the specified area; obtaining a plurality of evaluatio

  • Patent number: 5506782
    Abstract: A coke oven operation management system capable of accomplishing unified management of an operation from receiving of stock coal to production and shipment of coke through management and control processing using a computer. A head office and branch offices of a concern determine basic schedules for production and shipment of coke and receiving of stock coal based on sale and self-consumption depending on a user's demand for coke and incoming information on coal from a colliery for every month and notify a production adjustment and management section of a coke production factory of the basic schedules, request the section of shipment of coke based on the user's demand, and instruct the section to receive coal.

  • Patent number: 4321538
    Abstract: A sample placed in a magnetic field is irradiated with a high frequency wave. The sample is rapidly rotated by a predetermined angle. Throughout the process in which the molecular orientation of the sample returns to the original state subsequently, a nuclear gyromagnetic resonance spectrum obtained from the sample can be observed.
