A plug-type optical connector 10 is provided with a ferrule 22 and an aligning sleeve member 24. The aligning sleeve member 24 receives a portion of the ferrule 22 including an abutting end face 48 inside a bore 58 to prevent staining and damage and uses a movable shutter 54 to prevent light emitted through the ferrule 22 from leaking to the outside. The socket type optical connector 14 is provided with a ferrule 92 and a holding section 94. The optical connector 14 is not provided with an aligning sleeve member and further can hold a coated optical fiber by a holding section 94 behind the ferrule 92 by a radius of curvature of at least a prescribed minimum radius of curvature. Optical loss in the coated optical fiber can be reduced while effectively reducing the external dimensions in the direction of extension of the ferrule 92 at the time of use. An optical fiber connecting device that includes a combination of a pair of optical connectors is also provided to be suitably applied to an optical transmission line laid indoors.

The suture thread has the suture thread support body and the needle accommodation body.

An alignment tool for aligning torque tubes of the solar collection system can include a rigid body member and two laterally extending alignment arms. Optionally, the alignment arms can include releasable clamps that can engage and disengage without the use of tools. The tool can be designed to straddle a sun-tracking drive of a sun-tracking solar system. Thus, the tool can be used both during initial construction as well as after construction is complete for alignment purposes.

An imaging apparatus includes a face detecting unit that detects a face area from an input image inputted in the imaging apparatus and a control unit that executes a focus operation according to adjustment of a focus lens. The control unit judges whether, during the focus operation, a new face has appeared in a position closer to the imaging apparatus than a position of a face closest to the imaging apparatus among faces detected before the start of the focus operation on the basis of the number and sizes of the faces detected and performs processing for re-executing or stopping the focus operation on the basis of a judgment result indicating that a new face has appeared in a position closer to the imaging apparatus.

A scoring method and a scoring system perform scoring quickly and accurately, and summarize and sort the scores into statistic data readily. The scoring method includes the steps of collecting answer data concerning answers provided by a plurality of examinees in a test, collecting various attribute data of the examinees, determining which answer data corresponds to a correct answer, an incorrect answer, and no answer, and summarizing the various attribute data of the examinees by contents of the answer data.

The invention supplies a quantity Q of gas while dividing at flow rate ratio Q1 / Q2 from a gas supply facility equipped with a flow controller. A total quantity Q=Q1+Q2 of gas is supplied into a chamber at flow rate Q1 and Q2 through shower plates fixed to ends of branch supply lines by providing open / close valves with a plurality of branch supply lines GL1 and GL2, respectively, to supply the specified quantity of gas from the gas supply facility, and by utilizing bypass line BL1 on the downstream side of the open / close valve OV1 and branched from GL1 ,bypass line BL2 on the downstream side of the open / close valve OV2 and branched from GL2 ,pressure type division quantity controller connected to the bypass line BL1 and the bypass line BL2 ,a sensor measuring pressure inside branch supply line GL1 ,and another sensor measuring pressure inside branch supply line GL2.

An X-ray analysis apparatus includes: an X-ray radiation unit that irradiates a sample with X-ray; an X-ray detection unit that detects X-ray emission from the sample; a unit that allows the X-ray detection unit to perform scanning operation for changing the angle of the X-ray detection unit with respect to the sample; and an image controller that displays information related to X-ray intensity detected by the X-ray detection unit and information related to a scanning angle of the X-ray detection unit as a 3D image. The image controller displays the 3D image simultaneously with the scanning operation of the X-ray detection unit. Further, simultaneously with the scanning operation of the X-ray detection unit, two or all of 1D, 2D, and 3D images are displayed in one screen. A measurement result starts being displayed as a 3D image before information related to all measurement results has been obtained.

An imaging apparatus includes a focus control unit that sets an image area including eyes, which is included in an input image inputted in the imaging apparatus, as a range finding area for calculation of a subject distance and acquires an evaluation value based on contrast of the range finding area to detect a focus position and a blink detecting unit that detects presence or absence of a blink on the basis of image analysis in the range finding area. The focus control unit inputs blink detection information in the blink detection unit, identifies evaluation value data in a blink period and a non-blink period, and executes processing for detecting a focus position on the basis of only an evaluation value in a period judged as the non-blink period.
