  • Patent number: 10213004
    Abstract: A nail shape acquiring device has a control unit, which acquires a plurality of index values representing a degree of curve of a curved shape of a nail of each of a plurality of objects on the basis of at least one image in which the plurality of objects is imaged. The plurality of objects are a plurality of fingers, including at least one pair of same type fingers on right and left hands, or toes, including at least one pair of same type toes on right and left feet. A determination unit determines, on the basis of different index values for nails of the same type fingers or the same type toes, whether at least one of the index values is to be used as a value representing the degree of the curve of the curved shape of the nail.

  • Patent number: 9823359
    Abstract: A radiation image detecting device includes a photodetecting element that detects fluorescence light, and a prism that is disposed on an optical path of excitation light traveling toward an imaging plate and between the photodetecting element and the imaging plate. The prism includes, as surface thereof, a side face that is opposed to the imaging plate, and a side face and a side face that are inclined relative to the side face. The prism is disposed so that the excitation light incident through the side face propagates inside and is output from the side face and so that reflection from the imaging plate incident through the side face propagates inside and is output from the side face. The photodetecting element is disposed so as to be opposed to a region different from a region where the reflection from the imaging plate is output, in the surface of the prism.

  • Patent number: 9769445
    Abstract: In a display device, a light amount of laser light directed from an optical filter to a combiner is controlled through control of a temperature of a light source using temperature dependence of a wavelength of the light source. Further, in the display device, since the adjustment of the light amount is performed using the temperature dependence of the wavelength of the light source instead of adjusting a power supply voltage of the light source.

  • Patent number: 5231939
    Abstract: This invention relates to an in-ash unburned component estimating device for a coal-fired furnace which monitors the density of in-ash unburned component contained in burning waste gases to operate the furnace efficiently. The object of the invention is to infer and estimate from the current situation by a simple means the density of in-ash unburned component in the burning exhaust gases that affects the combustion efficiency. A furnace temperature, a load band in the furnace, a furnace contamination coefficient, a ratio of two-stage combustion air supplied to the furnace, and a coal mixture ratio are taken in as fuzzy quantities to infer fuel ratio data and correction data used to correct predetermined reference values of reference in-furnace temperature distribution, reference in-furnace air ratio distribution and reference powdered coal grain diameter distribution.

  • Patent number: 5158024
    Abstract: This invention relates to a combustion control apparatus for a powdered coal-fired furnace that monitors noxious substances contained within the burning waste gases, unburned substances within the ash and the power data of a pulverizing mill in order to operate the combustion furnace safely and efficiently. The combustion control apparatus infers from the current states or data optimal control amounts that will maintain within the minimum allowable ranges the noxious nitrogen oxides and the in-ash unburned substances that affect the combustion efficiency-and thereby controls the combustion furnace with good stability. The combustion control apparatus qualitatively evaluates as fuzzy quantities the density data of the nitrogen oxides contained within the exhaust gases of the unburned substances contained within the ash, and the power data of the pulverizing mill.
