SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION DEVICE, SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION METHOD, AND SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968338 titled 'SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION DEVICE, SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION METHOD, AND SURFACE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that evaluates the performance of a surface by quantifying the diffusion of a liquid dispersed on a test object. The device includes a memory, a processor, and a camera to capture a moving image of the test object.

  • The device acquires a captured image of a test object with liquid dispersed on it.
  • The processor quantifies the degree of diffusion of the liquid based on the captured image.
  • The surface performance of the test object is evaluated based on an index determined by the processor.

Potential Applications

  • Quality control in manufacturing processes to assess the surface performance of products.
  • Research and development of coatings or materials to analyze their diffusion properties.
  • Environmental monitoring to evaluate the spread of liquids on different surfaces.

Problems Solved

  • Provides an objective and automated method to evaluate the diffusion of liquids on surfaces.
  • Eliminates the need for manual assessment, reducing human error and saving time.
  • Enables consistent and reliable surface performance evaluation across various industries.

Benefits

  • Allows for efficient and accurate assessment of surface performance.
  • Provides quantitative data for analysis and comparison.
  • Facilitates the identification of areas for improvement in surface performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A surface performance evaluation device including memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor being configured to: acquire a captured image, which is a moving image of a test object on which a liquid is dispersed, and which is captured by a camera; quantify, based on the captured image that is acquired by the processor, a degree of diffusion of the liquid that is dispersed on the test object and diffuses; and evaluate a surface performance of the test object based on an index quantified by the processor.
