  • Publication number: 20200265226
    Abstract: A food-processing device includes a processor, an imaging device, an authentication part, and a management part. The food-processing device processes a food in a line in which the food is manufactured. The processor performs at least one process on the food. The imaging device captures an image of an eye of a user of the food-processing device. The authentication part authenticates the user in response to the image of the user's eye captured by the imaging device. The management part makes the process performed by the processor executable for the user authenticated by the authentication part. The authentication part authenticates the user in response to processing information of the user's iris included in the image of the user's eye.

  • Patent number: 10350645
    Abstract: An article rejecting system includes: a conveyance unit that conveys an article along a conveying direction; a detection unit that detects the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a rejecting unit that is provided on a downstream side of the detection unit in the conveying direction and performs a rejecting motion for rejecting the article which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a control unit that controls the rejecting unit such that the rejecting motion is performed at a predetermined automatic timing when the detection unit detects the article; and an input unit that accepts input of a manual operation for causing the rejecting unit to perform the rejecting motion at a manual timing. The control unit sets the automatic timing based on the manual timing, if the input unit accepts the input of the manual operation when the detection unit detects the article.

  • Patent number: 9791591
    Abstract: An inspection device is provided that is capable of counting the number of contained objects of a product in which objects each having a predetermined shape are contained in a package in an overlapping manner. An inspection device 1 includes a total-number calculator 11b that estimates a total mass of a plurality of objects based on grayscale information on a transmission image and calculates the total number of objects by dividing the total mass estimated by a mass of one object.
