  • Publication number: 20220297224
    Abstract: A welding determination method is provided, which determines whether a spot welding part is joined to an electrode without using resistance generated when separating the electrode from a workpiece. In the method, the workpiece made by laminating multiple metal sheets is clamped under pressure by a pair of electrodes and melted by a current applied, and after that the conduction is stopped to hold the workpiece in a pressurized state to determine whether the joining occurs. The method includes the steps of: deriving resistance between the pair of electrodes and pressurizing force by the pair of electrodes during conduction to the workpiece; and determining whether the spot welding part is joined to the electrodes based on a first index value calculated using the derived resistance and resistance in an ideal welding, and on a second index value calculated using the derived pressurizing force and pressurizing force in the ideal welding.

  • Patent number: 11422363
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an adaptive optics system and an optical device that allow correction of wavefront phase aberration with higher accuracy than before and have a wider correction range than the conventional ones, regardless of the distance between the observation target and the fluctuation layer, and the size of the observation target. An adaptive optics system includes: a wavefront phase modulator that makes aberration correction to incident light and emits the corrected light; and an imaging-conjugated position adjustment mechanism that adjusts freely within a specimen the position of a surface imaging-conjugated with a fluctuation correction surface formed by the wavefront phase modulator. The imaging-conjugated position adjustment mechanism adjusts the fluctuation correction surface to be imaging-conjugated with a fluctuation layer existing in the specimen.
