Abstract: A body information acquisition device includes: a skeleton point detection unit configured to detect a skeleton point of a person included in a captured image; a body information acquisition unit configured to acquire body information of the person based on detection of the skeleton point; and an imaging state determination unit configured to determine whether an imaging state of the person reflected in the captured image corresponds to a specific imaging state specified based on a predetermined evaluation index value, in which the body information acquisition unit does not acquire the body information based on the detection of the skeleton point when the imaging state corresponds to the specific imaging state.

Abstract: A detection device includes: an ion conductor; three or more electrodes that are in contact with the ion conductor; and an ammeter embodying a measurement unit that measures a potential difference between two electrodes when a fluid sample is in contact with the ion conductor or the electrode, the two electrodes being selected from the three or more electrodes in a plurality of combinations.

Abstract: An engagement-type clutch mechanism is provided in which due to the movement of a first power transmission member, which is movably supported on a rotating shaft, toward a second power transmission member, a first and second projecting parts provided on opposing faces of a first and second power transmission members are engaged to each other, and the rotation of the second power transmission member is synchronized with the rotation of the first power transmission member, and due to the movement of a sleeve toward the synchronized second power transmission member, a first spline of the first power transmission member is linked to a second spline of the second power transmission member via a to-be-engaged spline of the sleeve, and the rotation of one of the rotating shaft and the second power transmission member is transmitted to the other of the rotating shaft and the second power transmission member.

Abstract: A numerical control apparatus controls a machine tool. The numerical control apparatus includes a display unit that includes a main display screen, a keyboard unit that includes a plurality of input keys and an auxiliary display screen on an operation surface, and a display control unit that displays first machine-related information related to the machine tool on the main display screen and displays second machine-related information related to the machine tool on the auxiliary display screen. The keyboard unit includes a display input unit that receives an input instruction by using the auxiliary display screen as a touch panel.

Abstract: A threading control method and apparatus therefor is provided, in which, when carrying out thread-cut machining operations several times at one position, synchronized with main-spindle rotation and controlling movement of a threading spindle, deviations in thread grooves are prevented without correcting programmed commands, machining accuracy is improved, and tool life extended. When a main-spindle single-rotation reference signal and a main-spindle position counter are input to the numerical control apparatus, the present main-spindle position is computed by a main-spindle position computing means 103, the difference between the main-spindle single-rotation reference signal and control cycles is obtained, as a correction amount 108, from the computed main-spindle position, by a main-spindle position-correcting means 104 and a correction is done.

Abstract: In the processing preparation operation for checking a processing program and the tool compensation amount, a series of confirmation operations for all the tools are easily made using the processing program as conventionally used, without having limitations on the creation of the processing program. When a read skip signal 110 is externally input into a numerical control apparatus, the same instruction as stored in mandatory execution instruction storing means 104 is executed, when commanded in the processing program 100, until the same instruction as stored in read skip end instruction storing means 105 is commanded, but the other instructions are skipped, until the same instruction as stored in read skip end instruction storing means 105 is commanded. Then, when the instruction stored in the read skip end instruction storing means 105 is read, the instruction and subsequent instructions are executed.

Abstract: A cup holder includes a first cup holding hollow defined by a first bottom wall and a first sidewall rising from a periphery of the bottom wall and a second cup holding hollow provided adjacent the first cup holding hollow, and defined by a second bottom wall and a second sidewall rising from a periphery of the bottom wall. The first bottom wall is higher than the second sidewall.

Abstract: A numerical value control system that controls a machine tool, by calculating a move command from a work program or a work data for a numerical value control unit, and directly inputting the move command to a servo control section (103) within the numerical value control unit (100) from the outside of the numerical value control unit (100). The numerical value control system comprises at the outside of the numerical value control unit: an analyzing unit (111) which analyzes a work program or a work data; and an interpolating unit (112) which carries out interpolation for each axis in a position control period of the servo control section based on output information from the analyzing unit (111) and cut conditions, where by the numerical value control system controls a machine tool by directly inputting a move command of a binary format prepared in advance by the interpolating unit (112), to the servo control section (103) within the numerical value control unit (100).

Abstract: A route guidance apparatus comprises a guiding device for, every time a turning point for which guidance is to be provided existing on a route for reaching a destination is approached, providing travel guidance for that turning point by at least a voice generated from a voice generating device. In particular, when the turning point for which guidance is to be provided is included in a traffic circle and the route turns from the traffic circle to an exit road toward an outer side thereof at the turning point, the guiding device provides travel guidance specifying how many ahead the exit road to be taken is among exit roads toward the outer side of the traffic circle. As a result, travel guidance with which a user can exit from the traffic circle through a correct exit.
