Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a detection result acquisition unit configured to acquire a detection result of a physical quantity that changes as a movable body moves while being in contact with a subject; an image data acquisition unit configured to acquire image data of the subject; and a display control unit configured to control a display to display likelihood information indicating a likelihood of abnormality of the subject and the image data in association with each other. The likelihood is determined based on the detection result.

Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus includes circuitry to determine a process number based on operation information that changes in accordance with an operation of a machine being a subject of diagnosis, and determine a state of the machine using corresponding one of a plurality of model parameters corresponding to the determined process number and state information that changes in accordance with the state of the machine. The process number indicates an order of a particular process in a plurality of processes executed by the machine.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes circuitry that acquires first image data, embeds electronic watermark data in a brightness component of the first image data to generate second image data, and determines a type of the second image data based on a color difference component of the second image data.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reading control unit, an extractor, an acquirer, an operation acceptance unit, and a storage control unit. The reading control unit reads a printed material containing a digital watermark to obtain image data of the printed material. The extractor extracts, from the digital watermark contained in the image data, first storage-location information indicating a storage location where electronic source data of the printed material is stored. The acquirer acquires the electronic source data from the storage location indicated by the first storage-location information. The operation acceptance unit displays pieces of to-be-acquired information that are a unit of information acquired from the electronic source data, and accepts an operation input specifying selection of at least one piece of to-be-acquired information. The storage control unit stores the selected piece of to-be-acquired information in a storage location indicated by second storage-location information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a reading device configured to read a document; a primary storage device configured to temporarily store therein image data of the read document; a printing device configured to print the temporarily-stored image data; and a control device configured to set a printing speed and to synchronize a reading speed of the reading device with the printing speed of the printing device so that a waiting time is minimized.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus for converting image data created from an optically read manuscript to character data is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a data converting unit configured to convert the image data of a printed character printed beforehand on the manuscript and an added character added after the printed character has been printed to the character data; a character data distinguishing unit configured to distinguish, of the converted character data, between printed character data converted from the image data corresponding to the printed character and added character data converted from the image data corresponding to the added character; an edit information accepting unit configured to accept added character data edit information; and a character data edit unit configured to edit, according to the accepted added character data edit information, the distinguished added character data.

Abstract: A sealing nozzle having a flattened tubular part for discharging a sealer is disclosed. A restrictive means is provided so as to stretch out from one side to the other inside a sealer passage of the flattened tubular part and to restrict the flow of the sealer.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet-material foreign-matter detecting method and apparatus capable of securely detecting foreign matter attached to a sheet material. That is, the foreign matter attached to the sheet material is detected by applying light emitted from a light source to a sheet material, by picking up a light-source image reflected to the surface of the sheet material by image pickup means, and by judging a difference between brightnesses of a reflected image due to a difference between reflectances of the sheet material and the foreign matter.

Abstract: A tire includes at least a pair of breaker plies each having a plurality of wire codes of different orientation. In a tire testing apparatus, a tire is loaded to a test position and electromagnetic wave having a wavelength equal to or shorter than X-ray is irradiated to transmit a tread surface of one of test portions of the tire loaded at the test position. A detector detects the electromagnetic wave to produce a test image signal. A measuring section executes a processing of at least one test item on the pair of breaker plies to a test image data and automatically determines whether the test position of the tire is defective or non-defective, from the processing result of the test image data.
