Abstract: The present invention reduces the time and effort spent on alignment in an apparatus that photographs an object from a plurality of different directions, using a plurality of cameras. The present invention comprises: a plurality of photographing units (20a, 20b) each provided with a camera; and a base (30) to which the plurality of photographing units (20a, 20b) are attached, wherein camera alignment for each of the plurality of photographing units (20a, 20b) can be adjusted independently.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a blanking aperture array device for multi-beams includes forming, using a substrate over which a first insulating film, a first metal film, a second insulating film, and a second metal film are laminated in order, electrodes and pads on the second metal film, removing a part of the second metal film, removing the second insulating film using, as a mask, the electrodes, the pads, and a remaining part of the second metal film, and forming openings each being between a pair of electrodes, wherein, a part of the second metal film is etched such that some part of it remains in regions each connecting one of the electrodes and one of the pads, and a region in which entire openings are formed except the openings themselves is configured by the electrodes, pads, and first and second metal films such that the insulating film is not exposed.

Abstract: In an order shop system, a shopping mall is constituted of a body capture booth located at a center and a group of shops of different kinds located around the body capture booth. The body capture booth and the group of shops are connected by an Internet having a data center functioning as a server. The body capture booth is configured to measure the shape data of a body of an entering customer and to transmit the shape data of the body of the customer thus measured to the data center. Each of the shops of different kinds is configured to receive an order of a goods or services from the customer whose body shape data was measured in the body capture booth, and to obtain the body shape data of the customer from the data center and to actually supply the ordered goods or services prepared on the basis of the body shape data of the customer.

Abstract: Waste plastics, which contain coloring agents and are in various forms, are heated and electrified to divide into three groups in order to collect them without crushing while maintaining their product forms. Each group consists of high exothermic plastics, low exothermic plastics or PVC.

Abstract: A three-dimensional measuring apparatus or similar contour measuring apparatus of the present invention includes a projector for emitting light, a lattice film or similar light transmitting member, and a camera. Light issuing from the projector is transmitted through the lattice film to illuminate an object to be measured. The lattice film is movable to a plurality of projecting positions in a preselected direction. The camera shoots the object being illuminated by the light. A driving device for driving the lattice film includes a cam follower associated with the lattice film, and a cam for guiding the cam follower. The cam has a cam surface including a plurality of contiguous, insensitive portions each for causing the lattice film to remain in a halt at a particular position when the cam follower contacts the insensitive portion.

Abstract: A library apparatus can reduce number of motors to be incorporated and can reduce number of parts for simplification of construction for contributing to down-sizing of the apparatus and reducing a cost. The library apparatus of a storage media reads and/or writes information from and in a storage medium housed in a cartridge by withdrawing a desired one of a plurality of cartridges housed within a magazine which is loaded in an apparatus body, by cartridge loading and unloading means and loading the withdrawn cartridge in medium drive means. The cartridge loading and unloading means performs loading and unloading of the magazine to the apparatus body.

Abstract: A plastic identifying apparatus, includes a heating unit, a measuring unit, and a displaying unit. The heating unit heats a plastic object. The measuring unit measures a temperature of the plastic object to generate a measurement result and outputs a result data indicating the measurement result. The displaying unit displays the result data on the plastic object.

Abstract: A library capable of receiving storage media or the like with a high storage efficiency, being simple in construction to permit reduction of the cost of manufacture and permitting access time reduction is disclosed. The library comprises storage units 4 and 5 each capable of storing a plurality of cartridges 50 accommodating storage media one above another, a drive unit 2 for reading and writing data out of and in the storage media, and a cartridge transfer mechanism 3 for transferring the cartridges 50 between the drive unit 2 and the storage units 4 and 5. The storage units 4 and 5 can each store a plurality of cartridges 50 and accommodate a cartridge 50 having been rotated horizontally by approximately 90 degrees with respect to a cartridge inserting direction of the library.

Abstract: In an optical or magnetic disk drive, a cartridge access station (CAS) for moving a disk cartridge having a disk therein back and forth includes a belt which is driven by pulleys for conveying the cartridge. Stops for positioning the cartridge and a rubber or similar frictional conveying member are affixed to the outer periphery of the belt.
