According to one embodiment, a store system includes: an image output section configured to output an image picked up by an image pickup section; an object recognizing section configured to recognize a specific object by reading a feature value of the output image; a similarity determining section configured to calculate similarity indicating to which degree the recognized object is similar to a reference image of the object determined in advance and determine whether the calculated similarity exceeds a threshold set in advance; and a defective informing section configured to inform, if the similarity determining section determines that the calculated similarity does not exceed the threshold set in advance, that the object is not recognized as a regular commodity.

Store system and sales registration method

According to one embodiment, a store system includes: an image output section configured to output an image picked up by an image pickup section; an object recognizing section configured to recognize a specific object by reading a feature value of the output image; a check-image display section configured to display, on a display section, at least an image concerning the recognized object; and a problem solving section configured to receive, when there is a problem in the recognition of the object, an instruction indicating the problem and solve the problem according to content of the received instruction.

A label issuing device includes an imaging portion, an image output portion that outputs images captured by the imaging portion, an object recognition portion that recognizes a specific object by reading a feature amount of the output images, an information reading portion that reads information for the recognized object from a file storing information related to the object, and a label issuing portion that prints the read information for the object on a label and issues the label.

Label issuing device and label issuing method

A heat sink has a first flat plate, a partition plate, and a second flat plate. The first flat plate has an upper surface in which a first recess is formed. The second flat plate has a lower surface in which a second recess is formed, and an upper surface on which a semiconductor laser element is mounted. These recesses form a part of a refrigerant channel. The partition plate has a lower surface covering the first recess, an upper surface covering the second recess, and at least one through hole having the first recess communicated with the second recess. The first flat plate and the second flat plate both have a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The partition plate has a second coefficient of thermal expansion lower than the first coefficient of thermal expansion.

Heat sink, laser apparatus provided with such heat sink, and laser stack apparatus

A semiconductor laser devicecomprises: a heat sink, in turn comprising a main cooler unit, formed by joining metal members, a fluid channel, formed inside the main cooler unit, a cooling regionon an outer wall surface, and a resin layer, being continuously coated onto the outer wall surfaceand an inner wall surfacewith the exception of the cooling region; and a semiconductor laser element, positioned at the cooling regionwith thermal contact with the outer wall surfacebeing maintained. By continuously coating the outer wall surfaceand the inner wall surfacewith the resin layerwith the exception of the cooling region, prevention of corrosion near portions at which the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface contact each other is realized.
