Abstract: Each separator is arranged between an outer peripheral cylindrical raceway surface of an inner ring and an inner peripheral cylindrical raceway surface of an outer ring, and interposed between two cylindrical rollers positioned next to each other in the circumferential direction of a cylindrical roller bearing. The separator has: a first concave surface which is one end surface of the separator in the circumferential direction and on which the cylindrical roller slides; one end surface in a radial direction of the inner ring; a lubricant storing chamber that opens at the one end surface in the radial direction; and at least one slit that opens at the concave surface and that is communicated with the lubricant storing chamber.

Abstract: Each separator is interposed between two cylindrical rollers next to each other in the circumferential direction of a cylindrical roller bearing. A first concave surface on which the cylindrical roller slides and a first groove are formed in a first end surface that is one end surface of the separator in the circumferential direction. The first groove opens at one end of the separator in the axial direction of the roller bearing, and opens at one end of the separator in the radial direction of the roller bearing. When the separator is fitted to the roller bearing, the first groove opens toward a first rib of the inner ring in the axial direction, and opens toward the outer peripheral cylindrical raceway surface in the radial direction.

Abstract: A noise removing filter removes noise from an input image and an edge component extracting unit extracts edge components. The edge components are extracted by calculating a difference between the input image and a smoothed image, which is obtained by smoothing the input image in a smoothed image generating portion. An edge component comparing unit compares the extracted edge components with a threshold value and a sum calculating unit calculates the sum of the edge components greater than the threshold value. A control circuit determines, the enhancement degree of the edges based on the sum and averaged luminance of the input image calculated by an average luminance calculating unit. An enhancement degree adjustment unit adjusts the determined enhancement degree, and an edge component enhancement unit enhances the edge components based on this enhancement degree and adds it to the input image to perform edge enhancement processing.
