  • Publication number: 20240075627
    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.

  • Patent number: 11326223
    Abstract: The present invention enables quick cooling of steam-treated objects and thus reduces the manufacturing time of steam-treated products such as black coated steel sheets. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing steam-treated products, which involves a steam treatment step that introduces steam into a closed container (10) containing a treatment object (1) and brings the treatment object (1) into contact with the steam, and a treated object cooling step that cools the object (1) treated with steam in the steam treatment step, wherein said treated object cooling step introduces coolant gas into said closed container (10), brings said treated object (1) into contact with the coolant gas, and discharges the introduced coolant gas from said closed container (10).

  • Patent number: 11090664
    Abstract: A foamer mechanism (20) of a foam dispensing container has a gas-liquid contact chamber (21), a liquid agent flow passage (22) through which a liquid agent supplied from a liquid agent supply portion (28) to the gas-liquid contact chamber (21) passes, and a gas flow passage (23) through which a gas supplied from a gas supply portion (29) to the gas-liquid contact chamber (21) passes. The gas flow passage (23) has a gas opening (23a) that is open to the gas-liquid contact chamber (21). The liquid agent flow passage (22) branches into plural branch flow passages (for example, branches into a first branch flow passage (221) and plural second branch flow passages (222)). Each of the plural branch flow passages has a liquid agent opening (22a, 22b) that is open to the gas-liquid contact chamber (21).
