Abstract: A surface property evaluation method includes a measurement step for acquiring the distribution of impedance in the depth direction of a test piece, and an evaluation step for evaluating the surface treatment state in the depth direction and wherein the evaluation step includes: a step for creating a reference measurement value group by preparing untreated sample, good sample, and sample to be evaluated, and calculating an impedance ratio γ1 at each frequency for the untreated sample and good sample impedances; a step for creating an evaluation measurement value group by calculating an impedance ratio γ2 for the impedances of untreated sample at each frequency relative to the sample to be evaluated impedances; and a step for evaluating the surface treatment state of a sample to be evaluated by comparing a reference measurement value group with the evaluation measurement value group.

Abstract: A dust solidification system includes: a preduster for sucking dust with a negative pressure generated by a negative pressure generating source, removing solidification-inhibiting substances from the dust, and making the dust with a reduced solidification-inhibiting substance content rate flow toward the source; a dust capturing mechanism for capturing the dust flowing from the preduster and allowing the dust to fall; a storage tank for storing the dust captured by and falling from the capturing mechanism; and a dust solidifying mechanism for solidifying the dust in a forming chamber; and further includes one or more of the following: a dust re-scattering prevention mechanism for preventing re-scattering of the dust falling from the capturing mechanism; a stirring mechanism for stirring the dust loaded into the solidifying mechanism; and an air releasing mechanism for preventing air from entering the forming chamber by releasing air flowing into the storage tank from the solidifying mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for treating a surface to definitely, and with a high quality, finish an object to be processed, are obtained. In the step of a first check, the numbers of objects (W) that are carried into areas (20A, 42A, 74A) where the steps of pre-cleaning, shot peening, and post-cleaning, are carried out, are counted and the conditions of the surfaces of the objects are detected. In the step of a second check, the numbers of objects (W) that are carried out of the areas are counted and the conditions of the surfaces of the objects are detected.

Abstract: A casting apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a main link member, a sub-link member and a lifting/lowering mechanism. The upper mold is attached to the upper frame. The lower frame is disposed in parallel with the upper frame. The lower mold is attached to the lower frame. A top end part of the main link member is rotatably connected to the upper frame and a bottom end part thereof is rotatably connected to the lower frame. The sub-link member is disposed in parallel with the main link member, the top end part thereof is rotatably connected to the upper frame and the bottom end part thereof is rotatably connected to the lower frame. The lifting/lowering mechanism causes the sub-link member to lift or lower with respect to the main link member.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the possibility that a connector for charging cannot be appropriately inserted into a power feeding port of an electric automobile.
The information processing device identifies a position of a power feeding port provided in an electric automobile and controls an arm portion, on the basis of a result of identification, so as to move a connector to a position facing the power feeding port. The information processing device controls the arm portion so as to insert the connector into the power feeding port. At this time, the information processing device controls the arm portion, on the basis of a value detected by a force sensor, so that a force along a direction other than an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and/or a torque have/has a magnitude not greater than a threshold.
