Publication number: 20240158321Abstract: [Task] Provided is a manufacturing method of butadiene that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions. [Solution] A manufacturing method of butadiene includes an electrolytic reduction process 2 that produces ethylene and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water as a raw material by electrolytic reduction, a butene producing process 3 that produces butene by dimerizing the ethylene produced in the electrolytic reduction process, a mixing process 4 that prepares a mixed gas by mixing the oxygen produced in the electrolytic reduction process, the butene produced in the butene producing process, and air, and a butadiene producing process 5 that produces butadiene by heating the mixed gas and oxidatively dehydrogenating the butene, wherein carbon dioxide by-produced in the butadiene producing process is used as a portion of the raw material in the electrolytic reduction process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Mitsunori SHIMURA, Dai TAKEDA, Jun MATSUMOTO, Atsushi YAMADA, Yuki NAGAO

Publication number: 20240078789Abstract: An image processing apparatus that estimates a vector representing a relative positional relationship between parts of a subject using machine learning is disclosed. The image processing apparatus, using a convolutional neural network (CNN), detects, from an image, a first part and a second part of a specific subject, and a relative position vector from the first part to the second part. The CNN is configured to generate a feature map indicating an approximate direction of the relative position vector. The image processing apparatus trains the CNN using a loss function pertaining to the relative position vector and a loss function pertaining to the feature map.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventor: Atsushi NAGAO
