  • Patent number: 11268900
    Abstract: A polarization property image measurement device includes: a first radiation unit that radiates light beams in different polarization conditions onto a target object after subjecting the light beams to intensity modulation at frequencies different from one another; a light receiving unit including first photoelectric conversion units that photoelectrically convert the light beams having been radiated from the first radiation unit and scattered at the target object in correspondence to each of the different polarization conditions, and second photoelectric conversion units that photoelectrically convert visible light from the target object; and a processor that detects signals individually output from the first photoelectric conversion units at the different frequencies and differentiates each signal from other signals so as to determine an origin of the signal as one of the light beams; and creates an image of the target object based upon signals individually output from the second photoelectric conversion un

  • Patent number: 10393289
    Abstract: A pipe fixing device includes: first and second clamps that fix a pipe; and first and second engaging parts that are fixed to the pipe and engage respectively with the first and second clamps. The first clamp and the first engaging part configured to engage with each other such that the first engaging part is restrained from moving toward one side in an axial direction of the pipe and from moving in a circumferential direction of the pipe relative to the first clamp. The second clamp and the second engaging part configured to engage with each other such that the second engaging part is restrained from moving toward another side in the axial direction of the pipe and from moving in the circumferential direction of the pipe relative to the second clamp.
