  • Publication number: 20230380644
    Abstract: A dust removal device capable of normally dedusting a surface of a sheet-shaped object having an edge portion of a shape with protruding parts continuously arranged at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction, that is, a dust removal device discharging a gas to a surface of a sheet-shaped object 100 from a discharge outlet while drawing in the gas above the surface of the sheet-shaped object 100 through a suction inlet, the discharge outlet including a first discharge outlet 30 for discharging the gas to portions of the sheet-shaped object 100 other than the edge portion and a second discharge outlet 35 for discharging the gas to the edge portion 100b of the sheet-shaped object 10, and the suction inlet including a first suction inlet (31, 32) for drawing in the gas above the surface of the portions of the sheet-shaped object 100 other than the edge portion 100b and a second suction inlet (33, 34) for drawing in the gas of the surface of the edge portion 100b of the sheet-shaped object 100.

  • Publication number: 20230364654
    Abstract: A dust removal device provided with a discharge outlet 30a (30) and suction inlet 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b facing the surface of an object to be dedusted 100 undergoing relative movement and arranged at a predetermined interval along the direction of relative movement of the object to be dedusted 100 and that discharges gas from the discharge outlet 30 to the surface of the object to be dedusted 10 while drawing in the gas above the surface of the object to be dedusted 100 through the suction inlet 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b. The dust removal device has a gas discharge path 32b with a shape that gradually expands from an opening 33 facing the object to be dedusted 100 to the discharge outlet 30a.

  • Publication number: 20230000439
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, a biological data measurement system, an information processing method, and a program that can improve the accuracy of acquired biological data. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a body motion noise prediction unit and a control unit. The body motion noise prediction unit predicts, on the basis of a reference signal that is body motion information of a person to be measured detected by a reference signal sensor, that body motion noise caused by body motion of the person to be measured is added to a detection biological signal detected by a biological sensor from the person to be measured. The control unit controls signal processing of the detection biological signal on the basis of a prediction result of the body motion noise prediction unit.

  • Patent number: 11310426
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a control device, a controlling method, and an imaging apparatus that make it possible to reduce a weight of a movable body while simplifying a structure and to improve control accuracy. A moving body that moves in two or more directions, and a controller that controls movement of the moving body are provided. The controller sets a control value directed to controlling of the movement of the moving body on the basis of an initial position of the moving body and an instructed position of the moving body. A parameter directed to setting of the control value is set on the basis of the initial position and the instructed position. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a shake correction device that corrects a hand shake of an imaging apparatus or a technique that achieves super-resolution by shifting a sensor to capturing a plurality of images.
