Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain first information regarding a distribution of reflected light from a target to be measured and second information regarding geometrical-optics components of the reflected light, a calculating unit configured to calculate third information on the basis of the first information and the second information, the third information indicating an approximation of the distribution of reflected light, and an output unit configured to output information regarding wave-optics components of the reflected light on the basis of the third information.
Abstract:
A fluid dynamic bearing having a shaft and a bearing sleeve rotatably supported relative to each other. At least one of the shaft and the bearing sleeve is made of steel or stainless steel made of by weight C: 0.6~1.20%; Si: 1.0% or less; Mn: 1.0% or less; Cr: 10.5~18.0%; Mo: 1.0% or less; S.: 0.03% or less; and Fe. The dynamic pressure bearing surface is formed by ridges remaining in between multiple dynamic pressure grooves formed by electrochemical machining.
Abstract:
A distance measurement apparatus comprising: modulation means for modulating a luminance value of measurement pattern light to be projected on a measurement object for each two-dimensional position of the pattern light within a predetermined luminance value range; projection means for projecting, on the measurement object, the pattern light modulated by the modulation means; image capturing means for capturing the measurement object on which the pattern light has been projected by the projection means; and distance calculation means for calculating a distance to the measurement object based on the captured image captured by the image capturing means.
Abstract:
A measuring apparatus includes a projection control unit configured to cause a projection unit to project, onto an object, a first light pattern with light and dark portions, a second light pattern, which is smaller in distance between the light and dark portions than that of the first light pattern and has a boundary position between the light and dark portions common to the first light pattern, and a third light pattern in which the light and dark portions of the second light pattern are reversed to each other, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first captured image of the object onto which the first light pattern is projected, a second captured image of the object onto which the second light pattern is projected, and a third captured image of the object onto which the third light pattern is projected, and a calculation unit configured to calculate the boundary position between the light and dark portions of the first captured image based on the second and the third captured image to measure the position of the object.

Abstract:
A method of bleaching pulp using a microbe SKB-1152 strain, which is a lignin-decomposing bacterium having a high lignin-decomposing activity and a high activity of high-temperature pulp bleaching, or a product of culturing the microbe. The above method can be performed by the conventional biobleaching process without the necessity for employing special culture conditions. This strain can be obtained from a declorated zone formed in the medium prepared by inoculating a sample strain in a medium containing lignin and/or pulp wherein lignin remains.

Abstract:
A fluid dynamic bearing having a shaft (12) and a bearing sleeve (11) rotatably supported relative to each other. At least one of the shaft and the bearing sleeve is made of steel or stainless steel made of by weight C: 0.6~1.20%; Si: 1.0% or less; Mn: 1.0% or less; Cr: 10.5~18.0%; Mo: 1.0% or less; S.: 0.03% or less; and Fe. The dynamic pressure bearing surface (20) is formed by ridges (22) remaining in between multiple dynamic pressure grooves (21) formed by electrochemical machining.
Abstract:
A measurement apparatus includes an illumination light setting unit which sets illumination light having an optical characteristic corresponding to a microstructure which is formed on the surface of a measurement target and is to be measured, a measurement unit which measures reflected light when the measurement target is irradiated with the illumination light, and an extraction unit which extracts, from the measured reflected light, information about the surface shape of the measurement target and the microstructure formed on the surface.
