Abstract: Problem To improve the efficiency of a combination weighing operation.
Solution An article conveyance device 110 includes an article discharge container 10, an article conveyance mechanism 30, an article detection mechanism 60, and a control unit 90. The article discharge container 10 has discharge outlets 20 and discharges, from the discharge outlets 20, articles A it is holding. The article conveyance mechanism 30 has plural feeders 40 including a first feeder 41 to an n-th feeder 4n. The plural feeders 40 convey the articles A they have received from the discharge outlets 20. The article detection mechanism 60 has plural sensors 70. The plural sensors 70 include a first sensor 71 to an n-th sensor 7n. The first sensor 71 to the n-th sensor 7n detect the presence of the articles A in the first feeder 41 to the n-th feeder 4n, respectively. The control unit 90 judges whether or not jamming of the articles A is occurring in the discharge outlets 20 based on output of the article detection mechanism 60. The control unit 90 increases a conveyance intensity of some feeders receiving the articles A from places where the jamming is occurring in the discharge outlets 20.

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.
