Abstract: An article detection device includes: an image acquiring unit acquiring a surroundings image; a first information image preparing unit preparing a first information image by converting information on a load/unloading target portion of the article to an easily recognizable state based on the surroundings image; a first calculation unit calculating at least one of a position and a posture of the load/unloading target portion; a second information image preparing unit preparing a second information image by converting information on a pitch angle detection portion of the article to an easily recognizable state; and a second calculation unit configured extracting at least two edge candidates for the article extending in a specific direction and included in the second information image based on a calculation result from the first calculation unit and calculating a three-dimensional direction vector indicating a pitch angle of the article from the edge candidates.

Abstract: A controlling device of a forklift executes a stopping process of stopping lowering of a fork by a lift device when a detection sensor is separated from a first facing surface while the fork is being lowered by the lift device in a placing operation, a forward tilting process executed after execution of the stopping process, the forward tilting process controlling the tilt device to tilt the fork forward until the tilt angle reaches a limit value, and a returning process of sequentially obtaining values of the tilt angle during execution of the forward tilting process and tilting the fork rearward when the value of the tilt angle stops changing before the tilt angle reaches the limit value. The returning process is not executed in a case in which the tilt angle reaches the limit value.

Abstract: A negative type photosensitive electrodepositing resin composition comprising (a) a polymer obtained by neutralizing a copolymer of acrylic or methacrylic acid and having an acid number of 20 to 300 with a basic organic compound, (b) a non-water-soluble monomer having two or more photopolymerizable unsaturated bonds in the molecule, (c) a non-water-soluble photoinitiator, and (d) a benzotriazole derivative having one or more carboxyl groups, is effective for giving electrodeposited films with a low voltage or low electric current in a short time, and usable for forming resist patterns with high degree of resolution.

Abstract: A resin composition comprising (A) a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing (a) acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid, (b) at least one compound having an unstable group against an acid such as t-amyl acrylate, t-amyl methacrylate, etc. and (c) a copolymerizable monomer such as n-butyl acrylate and (B) a photoacid generator is effective for providing an electro-deposition bath good in water dispersion stability and an electrodeposited film having high sensitivity and high resolution.
