    摘要: The present invention reduces electric power consumption of a network inverter. The inverter (1a, 1b, 1c) includes: an MPU (20a, 20b, 20c); and a power supply (10) configured to carry out electric power delivery to the MPU (20a, 20b, 20c) and to a power source circuit (40). In a case where the inverter (1a, 1b, 1c) is to enter a standby state, an electric power delivery control circuit (22) of the MPU (20a, 20b, 20c) blocks electric power delivery to the power source circuit (40).

    摘要: An image search device receives an image search request and selects, from a plurality of images, a first group of images that match search conditions based on the search request. The image search device further selects, from the first group of images, a second group of images based on a score calculated by a predetermined evaluation formula, and outputs information about the second group of images as a search result. The predetermined evaluation criteria may be set so as to increase the score for an image in the first group of images based on positive engagement by many people on the predetermined internet service and based on the extent that the image is less similar to other images in the first group of images.

    摘要: A sample pretreatment apparatus includes: a plurality of sample pretreatment sections, each of which executes a sample pretreatment prior to a measurement; and a robotic arm including: an articulated arm member; and a hand attached to the articulated arm member. The plurality of sample pretreatment sections includes a sample dispenser that dispenses a sample in a first sample container into a second sample container. For a first measurement, the robotic arm holds the second sample container with the hand and transports the second sample container to a pretreatment group of the plurality of sample pretreatment sections, the pretreatment group including the sample dispenser. For a second measurement, the robotic arm holds the second sample container with the hand and transports the second sample container to another pretreatment group of the plurality of sample pretreatment sections, the another pretreatment group including the sample dispenser.

    摘要: A controller includes a processor and a communication circuit. The controller controls an object of control by sequentially repeating, on a predetermined control cycle, the transmission of the output data, the reception of the input data, and execution of a control program for generating the output data using the input data. In the transmission of the output data, the processor executes: storing of the output data in a frame, the output data having been generated by the execution of the control program in a previous control cycle; and control of the communication circuit such that the frame, in which the output data is stored, is transmitted to the object of control. The processor executes, in a current control cycle, at least a part of the storing of the output data in a frame that is to be executed in a next control cycle.

    摘要: An image carrier according to one or more embodiments may include: a cylindrical image carrier member including an outer circumferential surface formed with an image carrier layer configured to carry a developer image; one or more silencers disposed in the image carrier member; and a bonding member that bonds the one or more the silencers to an inner circumferential surface of the image carrier member. For each silencer, the inner circumferential surface of the image carrier member includes one or more bonding areas to which the bonding member is attached. A bonding range, in which the one or more bonding areas are fit, for each silencer, has a length thereof in an axial direction of the silencer being greater than a length thereof in a circumferential direction of the silencer.

    摘要: A laser illumination device includes a light source component, a micro-element lens, and a meniscus lens. The light source component emits a laser beam. The micro-element lens spreads out the laser beam. The meniscus lens has an incident face on which the laser beam from the micro-element lens is incident, and a light emission face that is provided on the opposite side from the incident surface and includes a convex shape, and the meniscus lens has a negative power for spreading out the incident laser beam from the micro-element lens.

    摘要: To provide a technique for suppressing brightness non-uniformity of an area illuminated by a light source and also suppressing a decline in contrast between areas caused by incidence of a luminous flux of the area to another area. Provided is a light guide plate including: a diverging portion which is provided on an opposite side of a light exit surface from which light is emitted, the diverging portion causing a luminous flux emitted from a light emitting element to diverge; and a restricting portion which is provided, when a prescribed range from the light emitting element on the light exit surface is defined as an illuminated area illuminated by the light emitting element, in at least a periphery of the illuminated area on the light exit surface and which deflects or shields light traveling from inside toward outside of the illuminated area to restrict traveling, toward a side of the light exit surface, of light traveling toward the outside of the illuminated area.

    摘要: A control device includes: a physical first communication port that connects to a first network—to which an information processing device belongs; a physical second communication port that connects to a second network to which the drive device belongs; and a storage device that stores a user program created for controlling the drive device. The user program includes a filtering function for switching a filtering condition in accordance with a setting for the filtering condition that is input during execution of the user program. The filtering condition is used for determining whether or not to transmit communication data received from one device to another device. The one device is one of the drive device and the information processing device. The other device is the other of the drive device and the information processing device.
