  • Publication number: 20240125389
    Abstract: A shaft sealing structure includes a V-packing; a first guide bush attached to an inner circumference of the holder; and a scraper arranged at an end of the holder. The V-packing is formed of a thick-walled top portion, a thin-walled inner side skirt portion extending diagonally inward from the top portion, and a thin-walled outer side skirt portion extending diagonally outward from the top portion. The inner side skirt portion slidably contacts an outer surface of the rod at a distal end of the inner side skirt portion, and the outer side skirt portion abuts against an inner surface of the holder at a distal end of the outer side skirt portion. The top portion is sandwiched between the scraper and the first guide bush, and the inner and outer side skirt portions are freely deformable inside a space formed between the first guide bush and the scraper.

  • Patent number: 10498932
    Abstract: A multiple-frame detecting unit performs a prescribed detection process by taking the time corresponding to a plurality of unit images of the video signal. A video change detecting unit detects a change in video between the unit images of the video signal. If no change in the video is detected by the video change detecting unit, a correction unit performs a correction process with a first correction intensity on the video signal corresponding to a detection target image area in the unit images of the detection process being performed by the multiple-frame detecting unit, and a correction process with a second correction intensity on the video signal corresponding to an image area other than the detection target image area. When the video change detecting unit detects the change in the video, the correction unit performs the correction process with the second correction intensity on the video signal.
