Abstract: There is provided a target detection method and detection device that can detect a target by a simple method and configuration.

Abstract: There are provided a target detection method and detection device that include a calibration function and can maintain detection accuracy of a target irrespectively of a change (such as a temperature) in external environment. A target detection method includes: a step of calculating a quantitative value; a step of, at a first position information generation device, measuring a first target; a step of, at a second position information generation device, measuring a second target; a step of calculating a position of the second target using the first position information generation device as a position reference based on a measurement value of the first target obtained by the first position information generation device, a measurement value of the second target obtained by the second position information generation device, and the quantitative value; and a step of calibrating the quantitative value before measuring a third target using the second position information generation device.

Abstract: There are provided a positioning method and a positioning device that can position workpieces by a simple method and configuration. A positioning method includes: gripping at least one of first and second workpieces; obtaining point group data of the at least one gripped workpiece of the first and second workpieces; calculating a translation matrix of shape fitting point group data obtained by adjusting a position of the point group data to reference data in a position adjustment state of the first and second workpieces; calculating an inverse matrix based on the translation matrix; and positioning the first and second workpieces by moving the at least one gripped workpiece of the first and second workpieces based on at least one of the translation matrix and the inverse matrix.

Abstract: There is provided a novel adhesive-backed tile panel protected by a release sheet. The prefabricated tile panel comprises a substrate sheet composed of a core fabric and a heat-softening-adherent asphalt composition applied to the both surfaces of the fabric; an adhesive layer having convex and concave portions such as stripes of an adhesive not flowable but sticky at an ambient temperature; and tiles arranged regularly and secured to the asphalt composition layer of the substrate sheet. The convex portions and concave portions of the adhesive layer constitute the gaps through which air present between the tile panels and a substrate board can be purged upon installation of the tile panels.

Abstract: Various resin products having beautiful pearl-like pattern or luster and excellent mechanical strength such as impact strength and hinging properties are produced by molding a mixture of styrene-butadiene block copolymer containing 10 to 35 wt % butadiene and 65 to 90 wt % styrene, showing resinous properties, and having a specific block form and crystalline polypropylene (content of the former copolymer: 25 to 95 wt %).
