  • Publication number: 20220221430
    Abstract: An ultrasonic flaw detection device comprises a flaw detection unit for transmitting and receiving ultrasound, a swinging mechanism for supporting the flaw detection unit to swing around a swinging axis, and a locking mechanism for switching between a swinging state and a locked state. The ultrasonic flaw detection device controls the locking mechanism and swinging mechanism such that when the flaw detection unit is moved along a direction tangential to a surface to be inspected from a position removed from a first end part of the surface to be inspected to a lock release position, the flaw detection unit is put in the locked state such that a direction tangential to a contact surface and the direction tangential to the surface to be inspected coincide, and the flaw detection unit is switched from the locked state to the swinging state after the flaw detection unit reaches the lock release position.

  • Patent number: 11386046
    Abstract: An apparatus includes: a display control unit that displays a UI screen for performing a predetermined process, the UI screen being a screen where unit blocks each assumed as a single continuous character string in a scan image are displayed to be selectable by the user; an OCR process unit that performs an OCR process on unit blocks selected by the user through the UI screen to thereby extract character strings; and a setting unit that sets incidental information for the predetermined process by using the character strings extracted by the OCR process unit. The display control unit separates a character string satisfying a predetermined separation condition among the character strings extracted by the OCR process unit from the unit blocks selected by the user, and displays the separated character strings on the UI screen such that the separated character strings are selectable by the user.
