    Abstract: A metal material other than strain-free iron powder can be used as a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress. The metal material is manufactured by nanocrystallizing at least a portion of a surface of a metal material, and then removing inherent strain by annealing the metal material, thereby eliminating stress.

  • Publication number: 20220309035
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a file processing device, a file processing method, and a program that enable association of, for example, an image stored in a file with external data outside the file. A file control unit generates a high efficiency image file format (HEIF) file storing relationship information related to association between an image and specification information. The relationship information includes the specification information that is before being assigned to external data and specifies the external data that is outside the HEIF file and is to be associated with the image stored in the HEIF file. Furthermore, the file control unit writes the specification information stored in the HEIF file into the file storing the external data. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a case where a HEIF file is generated and an image stored in the HEIF file is associated with external data later, and the like.

  • Patent number: 9067303
    Abstract: A chamber having a water jet generation apparatus and a mesh installed inside is pushed against a surface of a peening object. A rotary vane of the water jet generation apparatus, disposed in a region in the chamber between the mesh and the chamber, is rotated to generate a water jet flowing toward the peening object in one region in the chamber, the one region is a region closer to the peening object than the mesh. A plurality of shots 4 put in the region 30A moves toward the peening object along with the water jet and collides with the surface of the peening object. After the collision, the shots move toward the mesh along with the water jet. Compression residual stress is given to the surface of the peening object with which the shots have collided. Thus, spreading of contaminants peeled off from a peening object can be prevented.
