Abstract: A three-dimensional measuring apparatus includes a projection unit that projects a pattern onto a subject, a plurality of image capturing units that capture images of the subject from mutually different points of view, and a processing unit that calculates a distance value to the subject by performing association using image groups captured of the subject by the plurality of image capturing units, wherein the processing unit integrates information based on a first image group that was captured by projecting the pattern onto the subject, and information based on a second image group that was captured without projecting the pattern onto the subject, into integrated images or evaluation values to be used during the association such that features of the images from both the first image group and the second image group remain, and calculates the distance value using the integrated images that have been integrated or the evaluation values.

The first support member includes a first support section and a first attachment section. The first attachment section is disposed at a position spaced by a first distance from the first support section. The second support member includes a second support section and a second attachment section. The second attachment section is disposed at a position spaced by a second distance from the second support section in the panel thickness direction, the second distance being smaller than the first distance, the second attachment section having a second hole to be in communication with the first hole, the second attachment section being to overlap the first attachment section. The third support member includes a third support section and a third attachment section.

Abstract: A congestion avoidance support system includes a storage device storing information of respective travelers, and an arithmetic device configured to receive a request to avoid congestion from a business operator terminal of a predetermined business operator, identify the content of an incentive on the basis of a road to be avoided during congestion in the request and crowdedness situation of the road, distribute information of the incentive to a traveler terminal and, upon receiving, after the distribution, a notification from the traveler terminals that either a predetermined property in the request has matched the traveler's transfer policy and transfer trend, or the traveler has moved in accordance with the request and therefore acquired the incentive, perform each of the processes of identifying the content of the incentive and distributing the information again, when the crowdedness situation of the road to be avoided indicates a predetermined degree of crowdedness.

Abstract: A timepiece has movable indicator hands for the analog display of current time. An ambient state, such as ambient light intensity, presence of a person in a room, or infrared radiation is sensed. Whether or not time indication is necessary is determined depending on the ambient state. If it is determined that the ambient state indicates that time indication is not necessary, then the movement of the indicator hands is stopped to conserve energy and reduce noise. When the ambient state indicates that time indication is necessary, the position of the indicator hands is adjusted from a stop position to a position indicative of current time.

Abstract: A feeder for supplying fish food has a container for storing food which is dispensed at desired times by rotating the container through one revolution. The container is rotatably mounted on a housing having a rotary dial containing time indicia. A manually turnable lug is mounted on the housing and coacts with the time indicia on the dial to indicate time. One or more pins are detachably connected to the dial to set predetermined times at which the food is to be automatically dispensed. As each pin rotates past the lug, a motor is turned on to rotate the container one revolution to thereby dispense a given amount of food at the predetermined time. The time-indicating lug may be manually turned to turn the motor on in order to dispense food at any desired time.
