  • Membrane electrode assembly and electrolyzed water production device using the same
    Patent number: 10227242
    Abstract: A membrane electrode assembly includes a rod-shaped or tubular anode, an anode terminal connected to the anode, a cathode disposed at a position apart from the anode so as to face the anode, and a membrane that separates the anode from the cathode. The cathode includes a line-shaped or strip-shaped cathode-supporting portion and a cathode claw that extends to the left, right, or both left and right from the cathode-supporting portion and that is curved along an outer periphery of the anode. The cathode-supporting portion and the cathode claw form an anode-holding portion of the cathode. The membrane includes a membrane strip, and the membrane strip is disposed on the cathode claw to be in contact with the cathode claw so that the anode is held by the anode-holding portion of the cathode with the membrane strip therebetween.

  • INSPECTION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INSPECTION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INSPECTION PROCESSING PROGRAM
    Publication number: 20190033074
    Abstract: An inspection processing system identifies a current position, obtains an inspection result of an inspection subject of a structure on the current position, and records the inspection result in association with the position of the inspection subject in a three-dimensional model of the structure. The inspection processing system further identifies a user who views the three-dimensional model and a current position, and outputs, to an output unit, an inspection result in which the user is recorded in an inspection information memory as a related person of the inspection subject. The inspection result is attached on a virtual image according to a three-dimensional model corresponding to the current position.

  • INSPECTION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INSPECTION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INSPECTION PROCESSING PROGRAM
    Publication number: 20190035155
    Abstract: An inspection processing system includes a control unit connected to a photographing unit and an output unit. The control unit includes circuitry. The inspection processing system identifies a current position, displays a virtual image of a three-dimensional model of a structure corresponding to the current position. The virtual image is superimposed on a structure image obtained from the photographing unit. The inspection processing system further obtains an evaluation result of an evaluation item of an inspection subject using the structure image on which the displayed virtual image is superimposed, and records the evaluation result in an inspection information memory in association with the position of the inspection subject in the three-dimensional model.

  • Image processing device, image processing method, and program for capturing images printed with various inks
    Patent number: 10147260
    Abstract: An image processing method corrects an image acquired from a medium exposed to ultraviolet light and makes parts printed with UV ink easily recognizable. A control device acquires a first image captured by an image sensor from a check exposed to visible light, and acquires a second image captured by the image sensor from the check when exposed to ultraviolet light. The control device generates a first edge image by applying an image processing filter that extracts edges in the first image, and generates a second edge image by applying an image processing filter that extracts edges in the second image. The control device then finds common edges where a first edge extracted in the first edge image and a second edge extracted in the second edge match each other, removes the common edges from the second edge image, and outputs a second image from which the common edges are removed.

  • Malfunction detection device for resolver
    Patent number: 10040475
    Abstract: A malfunction detection device for a resolver detects malfunction in a resolver with accuracy and stability even if a value of a square sum is varied between inside and outside of a normal range. When the resolver is in malfunction, a sine signal and a cosine signal are read. It is determined whether a malfunction determination of the resolver is prohibited, or not, from read values of the sine signal and the cosine signal, or square values thereof. When it is determined that the malfunction determination of the resolver is prohibited, the count value is accumulated and incremented every time the test value falls outside a normal range. When the count value arrives at a given value or higher, it is determined that the resolver is in malfunction.

  • Image processing apparatus for providing visibility of an image while maintaining color in a natural state
    Patent number: 10026152
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first-image generation unit that generates a first image by performing a visibility enhancement process on an original image in a first color space that is a color space not prone to having color values falling outside a color gamut as a result of conversion of color values of pixels in the original image in the visibility enhancement process, a representative chromaticity determination unit that determines a representative chromaticity that represents chromaticities of pixels in a first region that is an entirety or a part of one of the original image and the first image, and a second-image generation unit that generates a second image by performing, in a second color space, a process for adjusting color values of pixels in a second region that is the entirety or the part of the first image to make the representative chromaticity close to a target chromaticity.
