Abstract: A sealing property is improved. A sealing device (1) is formed of an endless elastic body around an axis line (x). The sealing device (1) is mounted in an endless space (S) formed by a plurality of members (100, 101) facing each other so as to perform sealing between one side (c) and the other side (d) in the radial direction of the space (S). The sealing device (1) includes a main body portion (11) facing the plurality of members (100, 101) in the axis line (x) direction, projecting portions (13) on one side projecting from the main body portion (11) toward the one side (c) in the radial direction to face the plurality of members (100, 101), and projecting portions (14) on the other side projecting from the main body portion (11) toward the other side (d) in the radial direction to face the plurality of members (100, 101).

Abstract: In an object detection apparatus (10), a sorting unit (20) obtains data indicating a measurement result of a distance of each signal that a sensor (51) radiated from the sensor (51). The sorting unit (20) sorts the data obtained into first data indicating that the distance was not measured, second data indicating a distance to one or more obstacles, and third data indicating a distance to the ground. A determination unit (30), by referring to the third data, determines whether or not the ground exists in a first area which is a radiation destination area of a signal corresponding to the first data. An estimation unit (40) estimates, when the determination unit (30) determines that the ground exists in the first area, and when the first area and a second area, which is a radiation destination area of a signal corresponding to the second data, are adjacent, that one obstacle exists straddling the first area and the second area.

A first image-data display unit (103) decides a display mode at a time of displaying the plurality of pieces of image data according to the priority set by the priority setting unit (102).

Abstract: A housing unit of a Roots pump includes a rotor housing, which includes a peripheral wall, and a cover member, which closes an opening of the rotor housing. At least one of a mating surface of the peripheral wall or a mating surface of the cover member includes an annular first groove accommodating a seal member. The rotor housing includes a bulging portion including a second groove. The seal member incudes first projections, which project from an annular seal body, and a second projection, which projects further radially inward from the seal body than the first projections. Each first projection includes a distal end that contacts a side surface on a radially inner side or on a radially outer side of the first groove. The second projection is arranged in the second groove to determine the position of the seal body in the first groove.

Abstract: A seal member includes pushing projections that project from a seal body toward at a groove inner-side circumferential surface and are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the seal body. The pushing projections push the seal body against the groove inner-side circumferential surface and a groove outer-side circumferential surface between the groove inner-side circumferential surface and the groove outer-side circumferential surface. This reduces the gap between the groove outer-side circumferential surface and the seal member in the seal accommodating groove. Thus, salt water is unlikely to collect in the gap between the groove outer-side circumferential surface of the seal accommodating groove and the seal member. This improves the corrosion resistance of the housing and the seal member.

Abstract: An image processing device, an image processing system, and an image processing method according to the present invention include a mask determining unit that determines a vertical relation in an overlapping area when a video window and a still image window overlap. As a result of a determination, if it is decided that the still image window overlaps as an upper window, the mask process is performed, and if it is decided that the still image window overlaps as a lower window, the mask process is not performed, thereby allowing an appropriate composite image to be obtained regardless of the vertical relation in the overlapping area of the video window and the still image window.
