  • Publication number: 20220386981
    Abstract: An information processing system comprises: an information processor capable of transmitting and receiving data; and an estimation unit that estimates dental notations of teeth in each of visible light images and X-ray images of oral cavities input through the information processor and estimates image shooting direction of each of the visible light images and the X-ray images. The information processor adds the dental notations and the image sensing direction to each of the visible light images and the X-ray images as metadata, and manages the visible light images and the X-ray images by associating the visible light images and the X-ray images using the metadata.

  • Patent number: 11367976
    Abstract: An electric connector includes a housing and a pair of reinforcing metal fittings. The housing has a bottom wall having a rectangular shape, a pair of short walls, a pair of long walls, and an island-shaped protruding wall surrounded by the short walls and the long walls. The reinforcing metal fitting has an upper plate part along an upper face of the short wall, an outer plate part along an outer side face of the short wall, and a pair of side plate parts extending from the upper plate part along inner side faces of the pair of long walls. The pair of side plate parts has a mounting part to be fixed to a mounting face and a long wall reinforcing wall part whose plate thickness face is directed in a direction in which the long wall is stood.

  • Patent number: 10910745
    Abstract: A circuit board connector apparatus includes a housing, a terminal, and a reinforcing fitting. The housing includes a protruding wall that protrudes in a height direction, a peripheral wall that protrudes in the height direction and surrounds the perimeter of the protruding wall, and a receiving portion between the protruding wall and the peripheral wall, the receiving portion being recessed in the height direction. The reinforcing fitting includes a first and a second portion extending toward the terminal along at least a length portion of the peripheral wall in a state of each being connected to an end portion placed in a width portion of the peripheral wall and in a state of being spaced apart in the height direction from each other. The second portion is located on a side closer in the height direction to a mounting surface than the first portion, and at the same position as an outer end of the first portion, or inward of the outer end in the housing, in a width direction.

  • Patent number: 8105112
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a plurality of terminals, a housing and a shield plate. The terminals are arranged and held in the housing. The shield plate is formed by bending a metal plate and attached to the housing. The housing includes a sidewall and an edge wall at an end portion of the sidewall. The shield plate includes a shield portion covering an outer surface of the sidewall and a held. The held portion is supported on a holding portion disposed on the edge wall of the housing. The shield portion includes a regulating portion capable of abutting against the outer surface of the sidewall.
