  • Patent number: 9580557
    Abstract: An organo polysiloxane to improve the abrasion and weather resistance of a hard coating layer obtained from a silicone-type hard coating composition. The hard coating composition contains a first organo polysiloxane having silicone-containing bond units selected from the group consisting of R—Si(—OX)2(—O*—), R—Si(—OX)(—O*—)2 and R—Si(—O*—)3) and a second organo polysiloxane having the same, where the second organo polysiloxane has a weight average molecular weight of 1/10 to 1/1.5 times that of the first organo polysiloxane. Further, a resin substrate having a hard coating layer made of a cured product of the hard coating composition that has improved abrasion and weather resistance. For resin substrates used in a bent state, the hard coating layer also improves the cracking resistance associated with mechanical stress.

  • Publication number: 20160371769
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes at least extraction, first calculation, recognition, determination, operation receiving, and recording modules. The extraction module extracts a feature amount from an image of a commodity captured by an image capturing module. The first calculation module compares a feature amount of each commodity registered in a dictionary with the extracted feature amount to calculate a similarity degree. The recognition module recognizes, as a commodity candidate, a commodity having a similarity degree higher than a threshold value from registered commodities. The determination module determines, as the captured commodity, a commodity candidate having a highest similarity degree from recognized commodity candidates. The operation receiving module receives operation for instructing an occurrence of incorrect recognition for the determined commodity candidate.

  • Publication number: 20150331025
    Abstract: Provided is a sensor in which a current sensor that detects a current of a power line as a change in a magnetic field and a voltage sensor that detects a voltage of the power line using capacitive coupling are integrally formed. The transmission of signals related to substantially the same sections is omitted in order to effectively compress an output signal from the sensor and an output signal from the voltage sensor. When the amplitude and phase of a fundamental wave which are estimated from the output signal from the sensor and the amplitude and phase of harmonics are encoded, the amplitude and phase of the harmonics are relativized with a value for the fundamental wave.
