Provided is a deterioration diagnosis system which diagnoses deterioration of an N-phase rotational machine (N denotes a natural number). The deterioration diagnosis system includes a first current sensor to be attached individually to at least lead wires of (N-)-phases in a rotational machine, the first current sensor being able to detect a current amplitude arising from a plurality of deterioration causes, and a second current sensor to be attached collectively to the lead wires of all phases in the rotational machine, the second current sensor being able to detect a current amplitude arising from a plurality of deterioration causes.

Deterioration diagnosis system

Provided are an inspection device and an inspection method capable of achieving improved magnetic field sensitivity by using a magnetic thin film of a small film thickness. A light-emitting unitemits light of a first wavelength for acquiring magnetic field inspection information and a second wavelength for acquiring inspection object surface information. A selection unitselects information from an inspection objectand information from a magnetophotonic crystal filmacquired by light irradiation performed by an irradiation unit. An image generation unitgenerates image data based on the magnetic field inspection information acquired with the first wavelength and the inspection object surface information acquired with the second wavelength selected by the selection unit. Each of the generated image data is displayed on a display unit

Inspection device and inspection method

Provided is an eddy current inspection device, an eddy current inspection probe and an eddy current inspection method that make it possible to detect defects existing in deeper parts of test objects. Three or more odd number of excitation coils are arranged at even intervals in a circumferential direction on a postulated circumference. Excitation currents applied to the excitation coils are controlled so that the phase difference between excitation currents applied to adjacent ones of the excitation coils arranged in the circumferential direction on the postulated circumference equals one cycle divided by the number of excitation coils. A magnetic field generated according to an eddy current occurring in the test object due to a magnetic field caused by the application of the excitation currents to the excitation coils is detected by use of a detector arranged on a postulated plane containing the postulated circumference but inside the postulated circumference.

An eddy current flaw detection system includes an eddy current flaw detection probe having a substrate facing an inspection surface, and at least one exciting coil and at least two detecting coils provided on the substrate, a scanning device which scans the probe on the inspection surface, a scan control device which drives and controls the scanning device, an eddy current flaw detection device which acquires results of detection of a plurality of detection points corresponding to combinations of the exciting and detecting coils for each scan position of the probe, and a data processing/display device which processes data from the scan control device and the eddy current flaw detection device and thereby displays a result of flaw detection. The data processing/display device acquires three-dimensional coordinates of the detection points for each scan position of the probe and thereby creates three-dimensional flaw detection data.

Eddy current flaw detection system and eddy current flaw detection method

An eddy current testing device which confirms that a change in characteristics of a target object is detected regardless of the magnitude of the change and specifying the position of a portion from which the change is detected. The device uses an eddy current probe to inspect a bent portion of a metal body, and has an inspection controller and a display unit. The inspection controller calculates a phase angle of a signal detected by the eddy current probe and generates flaw identification image data that indicates an area (or an area of the signal detected and determined to correspond to a flaw signal, based on the phase angle of the detected signal) of a flaw signal in coordinates in which the position of the portion of the target object is plotted along a coordinate axis. The display unit displays the flaw identification image data.

Eddy current testing device

An image processing device which places a display object within a virtually-defined three-dimensional space, creates a picture of the display object viewed from a virtual viewpoint with the image processing device, and displays the picture on a display. The image processing device comprises a display body setting element for setting a plurality of display bodies within said three-dimensional space; a display body disposal element for overlappingly disposing one of the plurality of display bodies within the display object, a display body image setting element for setting an image of the display object such that the one of the plurality of display bodies housed within the display object becomes visible, and a display body movement mode reflection element for making at least one movement mode of the one of the plurality of display bodies reflect a movement mode of the display object.

System and method for superimposing an image on another image in a video game

It is provided a computer game apparatus for displaying an image of virtual space in which first and second characters locate, the image being viewed from a first point in the virtual space to a direction from the first point to a second point in the virtual space, comprising: a first processor for obtaining positions of the first and second characters in the virtual space; and a second processor for setting the first or second point in accordance with a distance between the positions of the first and second characters which are aligned in the direction in the virtual space. According to the present invention, when the characters approach each other in virtual space in a game, the first point in virtual space is raised, so that the image is displayed as virtual space is looked down. Therefore, since the first character manipulated by the player and the enemy character do not overlap in the image, the player can clearly observe the movements of the enemy character. And even when the two characters are fighting in close, since the character controlled by the player can quickly cope with an attack by the enemy character, the game will be more exiting.
