  • Patent number: 10677751
    Abstract: A sensor calibration device for calibrating a sensor device, includes a sensor reader configured to read, from a reference sensor, a physical quantity which is a reference of a calibration and detected by the reference sensor, and a sensor manager configured to convert the physical quantity read by the sensor reader into a reference measurement value, the sensor manager being configured to obtain a calibration target measurement value obtained by the sensor device measuring the physical quantity, and the sensor manager being configured to output, to the sensor device, a calibration instruction based on the reference measurement value and the calibration target measurement value.

  • Patent number: 7582250
    Abstract: This invention relates to an injection molding method using an injection mold. The method comprises (1) a molten resin injection step for injecting the molten resin from a gate into a cavity, (2) a pressure-keeping step for continuously applying pressure from the gate after the molten resin injection step, and (3) a fluid injection step for injecting a fluid toward the back surface of the molded product. The pressure-keeping step and the fluid injection step are simultaneously executed. Simultaneously executing these two steps can lower the pressure that is to be continuously applied from the gate. The present injection molding method can reduce the pressure of the fluid to be injected toward the back surface of the molded product in order to cause the back surface of the molded product to separate from the cavity surface.
