    摘要: A foreign matter inspection system that is less likely to misidentify a crack as a foreign matter during an image inspection in which a vibration is applied to a powder contained in a bag-like container. The foreign matter inspection system includes a vibration device configured to apply a vibration to a container, a photography device configured to optically photograph the inside of the container through a transparent area, and a determination device configured to determine whether a foreign matter is present inside the container based on an image of the container photographed by the photography device. The vibration device alternately applies weak vibrations W and strong vibrations S to the container. The determination device determines whether the foreign matter is present inside the container based on the image of the container photographed by the photography device when the vibration device applies the weak vibrations W.

    摘要: To provide a blood flow sensor in which a fluctuation of measurement results is suppressed during measurement of the blood flow volume. A probe portion is provided with a sensor portion which has a laser diode generating laser light, a photodiode receiving light, and a sensor housing having a contact surface contacting a subject and which irradiates a subject with the laser light generated by the laser diode through the contact surface, receives reflected light from the subject in the photodiode, and outputs a signal relating to the received light amount, a holding portion holding the sensor housing so as to be movable in an up-and-down direction crossing the contact surface, and a coil spring absorbing and transmitting external force applied to the holding portion to the sensor portion.

    摘要: A motor comprises: a shaft; a permanent magnet rotor in which a permanent magnet and a gear member 32 are united; and a stator, arranged facing the permanent magnet. The gear member 32 has a pinion 33 and a mounting part 34. The mounting part 34 has: a circumferential-direction constraining part 34a, which constrains the circumferential movement of the permanent magnet; axial-direction constraining parts 34b, 34c, which abut both the top and bottom surfaces of the permanent magnet, so as to constrain the axial movement of the permanent magnet; and a plurality of elastic pieces 34d that apply a radially outward biasing force to the inner peripheral face of the permanent magnet.

    摘要: A motion learning support apparatus displays a teaching-aid video segment and a segment of practice video of a learner alternately on a monitor, the practice video being of the learner who is imitating a motion of the teaching-aid video segment and being taken with an imaging unit. The motion learning support apparatus includes: motion detection unit to detect a motion of the learner and a motion information acquisition unit; an evaluation unit to evaluate similarity of a motion of the learner to a motion in the teaching-aid video segment; and first learning support processing unit to, when the evaluation unit evaluates that the motions are similar, switch the monitor from video taken with the imaging unit to a following teaching-aid video segment. Thereby, vividness of an image due to the illusion effect induced to the learner can be improved, and so the learning effect can be improved for supporting.

    摘要: The resonance frequency of an LCR resonance circuit is f1 and the determination voltage signal is V1, when an object is not in the proximity of a sensor electrode. The resonance frequency of the LCR resonance circuit is f2 and the determination voltage signal is V2, when a human body is in proximity of the sensor electrode 22. The resonance frequency of the LCR resonance circuit is f3 and the determination voltage signal is V3, when water is in the proximity of the sensor electrode. The LCR resonance circuit has the relationship f1>f2>f3. A control unit controls a high-frequency signal S0 so as to satisfy the relationship V2>V1>V3, and a human body or water being in the proximity of the sensor electrode is distinguished.

    摘要: To prevent a user from accidentally pricking the user with a hollow needle when separating blood components using a syringe and a connection device. A blood component separation apparatus has three syringes and a connection device. The connection device is attached to one syringe and is inserted into other syringes. The connection device has a first member to which a base end of a hollow needle is joined and a second member which is connected to the first member in such a manner as to be able to move relative to the first member. The second member is moved back and forth between a first position where a tip of the hollow needle is accommodated and a second position where the tip of the hollow needle is exposed. The second member has elastic portions which are elastically deformed in the movement from the first position to the second position. The elastically deformed elastic portions elastically energize the second member at the second position to the first position side with respect to the first member.
