摘要:
A method and a system for recognizing the location of a cylindrical shaft is provided for use in positioning an end effector of an industrial robot which handles said shaft. In the method and system, a multilevel gray image of the cylindrical shaft which is generated by a change coupled device (CCD) image sensor is first differentiated, and the absolute values of picture elements constituting the differentiated gray image are then binarized on the basis of a threshold value so as to extract an accentuated pattern image which is inherent to the shape of the cylindrical shaft. The accentuated pattern image thus extracted is then collated with a reference accentuated pattern image (template) so as to generate a normal curve signal which has its peak point at a position where the axis of said cylindrical shaft is located. The normal curve data is then binarized on the basis of another predetermined threshold value to generate a single strip image. The center of the single strip image is calculated to determine the location of the cylindrical shaft.

A method for teaching a machining line to be machined is disclosed. A borderline is formed along the machining line on a workpiece. Then, a borderline sensor is moved across the borderline at each sensing position. The positions of the sensor are stored as a teaching position at each time when the borderline is detected by the sensor. The sensing interval between each teaching position is automatically adjusted according to the change in the curvature of the borderline. At the place where the curvature of the borderline becomes large, the sensing interval is shortened in order to maintain teaching accuracy.

A network element provides an interworking function between plural networks. The network element includes a first network forwarding function block for forwarding packets in a first network, a first network control function block for controlling the first network forwarding function block, a second network forwarding function block for forwarding frames along a connection-oriented path in a second network, and a second network control function block for controlling the second network forwarding function block.
摘要:
Light is emitted from a light-emitting element toward an irradiated medium, and returning light reflected by the irradiated medium is diffracted by a hologram device. A polarizer polarizes the light diffracted by the hologram device to produce first polarized light that has passed through the polarizer and second polarized light that has been reflected by the polarizer. The first polarized light is detected by a first light-detecting element, and the second polarized light is detected by a second light-detecting element. A magnetooptical signal is generated as the difference between the intensities of the first and second polarized lights which are detected respectively by the first and second light-detecting elements.

An incandescent lamp which is operable at about 200-275 V is obtainable by enclosing a filling composition consisting of about 80-95% by volume of krypton gas and about 5-20% by volume of nitrogen gas in a glass envelope bearing a tungsten filament and an inner volume of about 0.2-1.2 ml/operating wattage in an amount of about 0.7-0.9 ml/ml of the inner volume. The incandescent lamp exhibits satisfactory luminous characteristics and an extended life expectancy without causing arc discharge even when operated at a voltage of about 200-275 V. Thus a lighting device which comprises such an incandescent lamp as the luminous source and a power source capable of energizing it at a voltage of about 200-275 V is very useful in general and special illumination.

Disclosed is a lighting device to emit a light which substantially does not elevate the ACTH level in human blood. Such a light hardly causes stresses when used in illumination. This renders the lighting device very useful in comfortable illuminated spaces for visual tasks.
摘要:
A negative-phase output signal in an ECL circuit is extracted by an emitter-follower circuit, and the extracted signal is differentiated at its leading edge by a capacitor driven by the emitter-follower circuit so as to form a pulse wave, thus the differentiated signal drives a transistor connected in parallel with an emitter-follower resistor to which a positive-phase output signal is supplied. With this operation, a large amount of current flows only at the trailing edge of the output signal to shorten the fall time of the output from the logic circuit.
