An electrode device is provided with a closed part facing a bottom part of a bottomed hole when inserted inside the bottomed hole, and a flow through hole linking the inside and outside of the electrode device is formed in the electrode device. When surface treatment is implemented on the inner wall surface of the bottomed hole, the hollow electrode device is inserted into the inside of the bottomed hole, the electrolytic treatment solution is made to flow through the space inside the bottomed hole, and power is applied across the electrode device and the inner wall surface of the bottomed hole. The closed part faces the bottom part of the bottomed hole as an electrode across a prescribed surface area; therefore, electroplating at the bottom part of the bottomed hole proceeds to the same extent as other sites.

A fluid blow-out structure of a centrifugal casting device 1, for blowing out a fluid to inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mold 2, including: fluid application outer tube 5 inserted into the mold 2; movable mechanism 6 supporting a base end of the fluid application outer tube 5; outlet 8 through which the fluid is blown out, the outlet 8 provided at a leading end of the fluid application outer tube 5; fluid supply tube 9 inserted in the fluid application outer tube 5 and connected to the outlet 8; and guide mechanism 7 contacting an outer circumferential surface of the fluid application outer tube 5, and guides the fluid application outer tube 5 into and out of the mold 2. The fluid application outer tube 5 includes a resin hollow tube 10 and a metal tube 11 covering outer circumferential surface of the resin hollow tube 10.

When molding surfaces (50A) of a pair of dies (50) are to be cleaned by air-blowing, air is blown towards the molding surfaces (50A) from blowing nozzles (22A) of a cleaning blowing function portion (22) while a moving body (16) is reciprocatingly moved by driving force of a driving mechanism (18). When a parting agent is to be applied to the molding surfaces (50A) of the pair of dies (50), the mold release agent is jetted out towards the molding surfaces (50A) from spraying nozzles (24A) of a parting agent application function portion (24) while the moving body (16) is reciprocatingly moved by the driving force of the driving mechanism (18). In both of these situations, at the same time as the treatment of the molding surfaces (50A), a cleaning brush (32) reciprocatingly moves together with the moving body (16) and sweeps a device floor surface (12).

The present disclosure relates to a camera arrangement (100) for measuring a movement of a person (150). The camera arrangement (100) comprises a camera (110) and is arranged to repeatedly determine at least one distance (120) between at least one area (160) on the person (150) and corresponding pixels in the camera (110) based on light (130) received from the at least one area (160). The camera arrangement (100) is adapted to receive different signal strengths between the corresponding pixels in the camera (110) and pixels in the vicinity of the corresponding pixels so that at least some of the corresponding pixels and the pixels in the vicinity of the corresponding pixels are neither over- nor underexposed. The camera arrangement (100) is adapted to base the determining of the at least one distance (120) on at least some of the corresponding pixels and the pixels in the vicinity of the corresponding pixels which are neither over- nor underexposed.
