  • Publication number: 20230245318
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an obtainer that obtains an image and a detection result of an object in the image indicating an area of the object in the image, a determiner that determines a trend value in a first area surrounded by a frame corresponding to the detection result in the image, and a corrector that corrects the frame to define a third area resulting from excluding, from a second area, an area having a difference greater than or equal to a threshold from the trend value. The second area is larger than the first area in the image and includes the first area.

  • Patent number: 11306844
    Abstract: Provided is a pilot solenoid valve capable of bringing the strokes of a plunger to a necessary minimum and capable of achieving solenoid valve miniaturization and power saving. A pilot solenoid valve is provided with a diaphragm section, a primary side section, a secondary side section, a main valve, a back pressure chamber, a primary side auxiliary flow path, a secondary side auxiliary flow path, an auxiliary valve, and an auxiliary valve drive unit, wherein the secondary side auxiliary flow path is not formed in the main valve but rather is formed in the area around the main valve so as to bypass the main valve.

  • Publication number: 20170211261
    Abstract: A rotary handle is attached to a hot water single faucet and is a handle for controlling water discharge by rotational operation by an operator. A coefficient of friction of a grip member is set large in order to guide fingers of the operator to the grip member (operation surface) installed at a part of an outer surface of the rotary handle when the operator grasps the rotary handle. The grip member forms a line-shaped operation surface extending to a position not reaching a joint position of the rotary handle and the hot water single faucet along the outer surface in a direction of an axis of rotation.
