Abstract: The spot welding method of the present invention has steps of preliminary conduction, first conduction, second conduction, and third conduction: Preliminary conduction: Conduction method aimed at improving closeness of contact surfaces of steel sheets and reducing sheet gaps by gradually increasing the welding current (for example, upslope conduction). If rapidly applying current, current would be locally carried and that part would melt resulting in expulsion, so this is a conduction method gradually running current (for example upslope conduction) to avoid local heating. First conduction: Conduction method running a constant welding current and using the heat generated by the electrical contact resistance between steel sheets to cause the formation of a nugget when preliminary conduction results in close contact surfaces between the steel sheets.

Abstract: In a coating apparatus, a nozzle moving mechanism selectively grips any one of a plurality of coating solution nozzles, moves the gripped coating solution nozzle and a solvent nozzle together, and moves at least the solvent nozzle to a solvent suction unit. The moved solvent nozzle is caused to dispense a solvent to the solvent suction unit, and the gripped coating solution nozzle is caused to suck the solvent retained in the same solvent suction unit to which the solvent has been dispensed. Thus, since dispensation and suction of the solvent are done in the same solvent suction unit, the quantity of the solvent used can be held down. Further, a supply line for supplying the solvent does not need to be provided for the suction unit. The construction of the suction unit can therefore be made simple, and its cost can be held down.

Abstract: An image display device includes: a controller that: acquires biological information of a subject measured by a sensor at a preset time interval; displays an image shot by a shooting device on a display; specifies a position of a figure image in the shot image; and detects a specified subject in a predetermined state.

Abstract: When a user viewing an image of a conversation partner displayed on a display moves, a displayed image is more easily switched to an image reflecting a position of the user after the movement. When an image of a first user is displayed on a display of a second user, the image of the first user taken by an imaging device and an image of a background taken by the imaging device are acquired, and the acquired images are composited with each other, thereby displaying on the display a composite image in which the first user is positioned in front of the background. Moreover, when a movement of the face of the second user with respect to the display is detected, transition processing of causing the composite image displayed on the display to transition from a state before the detection of the movement of the face is carried out.
