The first lens unit consists of three or less lenses. The second lens unit consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, a first single lens as a spherical lens having a negative refractive power, a cemented lens in which a lens having a negative refractive power and a lens having a positive refractive power are cemented, and a second single lens as a spherical lens having a negative refractive power. A predetermined condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20230341663
    Abstract: A converter lens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a converter lens that has a negative refractive power and increases a focal length of an entire system. The converter lens includes a front group having a positive refractive power and a rear group having a negative refractive power, and the front group is a lens unit having a combined refractive power having a maximum positive refractive power in a case where the combined refractive power is obtained by combining a refractive power of each lens in order from the lens closest to an object toward an image side. At this time, a focal length of the front group, a focal length of the converter lens, and a lateral magnification of the converter lens when the converter lens is disposed on an image side of a master lens are determined as appropriate.

  • Publication number: 20230325190
    Abstract: The data processing management system includes a queue deployment system that deploys a queue with a processing description of stream processing having a branch instruction being an input. The queue deployment system designates processing to be preferentially executed for the processing description, measures throughputs in respective processing after the branch instruction, and obtains branch proportions that at which the respective processing after the branch instruction is executed. The queue deployment system then computes deployment costs in a case of deploying a queue between the branch instruction and the respective processing after the branch instruction, for combinations of the respective processing after the branch instruction using the throughputs and the branch proportions, and outputs a queue deployment pattern for preventing a decrease in a throughput of the processing to be preferentially executed among the respective processing after the branch instruction.

  • Publication number: 20220413469
    Abstract: A device management system comprises a data collection server and edge server including an adapter that transfers a device-related data set of an industrial device. Upon receipt of the device-related data set and when the data collection server is unable to specify a row that both adapter identification information of the device-related data set and device identification information match, in a devices list table and when the data collection server is able to specify a location name of a row that only the adapter identification information matches, in the devices list table, the data collection server is configured to generate/assign a new unique device identification ID based on the specified location name, the locations list table, and the devices list table. The data collection server associates the new unique device identification ID with the received device-related data set, and then stores the device-related data set in the data accumulation section.
