Abstract: A jig for measuring an object shape includes a plate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first plate and two reference balls fixed to the plate, each ball surface being exposed on both the first and second surfaces. A reference plane is fixed to the plate, the reference plane having a first plane and a second plane that are parallel to each other, the first and second planes being exposed on the first and second surfaces of the plate, respectively. An object-holding portion is fixed to the plate, the object-holding portion having a hole passing through the plate, the object-holding portion being able to hold an object in the hole with the front and back surfaces of the object being exposed on the first and second surfaces of the plate, respectively.

Abstract: An automated teller machine for handling a paper money, has a paper money path for transferring the paper money along a predetermined direction, and a detector for measuring a condition of the paper money, comprising a light beam emitter for emitting a light beam toward the paper money, and a light beam receiver for receiving at least one of the light beam reflected by the paper money and the light beam passing through the paper money.

Abstract: To change a bill storage box for deposit/withdrawal in a bill handling machine to a bill storage box for withdrawal only, a recycling box has conventionally been exchanged with a withdrawal-only box. That is, an extra withdrawal-only box exchanged with a recycling box must be prepared. The present invention provides a bill handling machine processing bills under various condition without preparing an extra bill storage box. The bill handling machine comprises a deposit/withdrawal port, via which bills are deposited or withdrawn, and a plurality of recycling boxes each of which stores bills of each denomination and dispenses deposited and stored bills. An operation of a recycling box, deposit-only box, and withdrawal-only box are set up for each recycling box and operation information on the recycling box is stored in the recycling box for use in checking consistency with the machine to prevent a malfunction in the recycling box.

Abstract: A compensation method according to the present invention includes: a traverse linearity data calculating step for measuring a master workpiece (MW) of which profile data is value-specified in advance while moving a sensor (7) using a linear movement mechanism (4, 5) of a measuring device (1) and for subtracting the previously value-specified profile data from the measurement data of the master workpiece to obtain a traverse linearity data of the linear movement mechanism; a workpiece measurement data calculating step for measuring the workpiece while moving the sensor by the linear movement mechanism of the measuring device to obtain a measurement data of the workpiece; and a workpiece profile calculating step for subtracting the traverse linearity data from the workpiece measurement data to obtain a true value data of the workpiece.

Abstract: An eccentricity adjusting motor (83) is provided in eccentricity adjusting device (17) that adjusts an eccentricity in a work. A tilt adjusting motor (86) is also provided in tilt adjusting device (18) that adjusts a tilt of the work. A processor (2) computes the eccentricity and tilt of the work, based on which eccentricity/tilt compensating means (105, 106) control the motors (83, 86) to compensate the eccentricity and tilt of the work.

Abstract: A phase delay correction system for use in a shape measurement is capable of removing the distortion of a restored shape and the mechanical positional deviation caused by a phase delay occurring during signal processing, and enables a Fourier series processing procedure to be adopted as is. A detector performs a relative scan of an object to be measured at a constant speed. A signal processing unit converts a shape detection signal obtained by the scan to digital data, and processes the digital data.

Abstract: An object is mounted and rotated on a rotary table. An encoder outputs a rotary angle signal corresponding to the rotary angle of the rotary table. A detection head outputs a displacement detection signal while tracing the surface of the object. The detection head moves within a plane including the axis of rotation, so as to oppose the outer or inner surface of the object. When the detection head is opposed to the inner surface of the object, the positive and negative signs of the displacement detection signal is reversed, while at the same time a 180.degree. angle is added to the rotary angle signal. By utilizing the reversed displacement detection signal and the corrected angle correction signal, the obtained result can be displayed through a displaying processing common to the processing for the outer surface.
