  • Publication number: 20220148347
    Abstract: A storage device of a noise inspection apparatus is configured to store a neural network machine-learned to receive, as inputs, an original sound characteristic value indicating a characteristic of sound generated by a transmission and an evaluation sound characteristic value indicating a characteristic of sound that reaches a vehicle cabin, and output a route part characteristic value that is a value indicating a characteristic of a vibration transfer of a vehicle part positioned on a vibration transfer route from the transmission to the vehicle cabin. An execution device of the noise inspection apparatus is configured to calculate, as an estimated value of the route part characteristic value, an output of the neural network that has received, as inputs, measured values of the original sound characteristic value and the evaluation sound characteristic value.

  • Patent number: 10778899
    Abstract: A camera control apparatus of the present disclosure includes an interface and a controller. The interface receives first image data generated by a first camera performing image capturing, second image data generated by a second camera performing image capturing, and altitude information relating to altitude, the altitude information being output by an altitude sensor, and transmits a drive signal to a first actuator capable of changing an image capturing direction of the first camera and to a second actuator capable of changing an image capturing direction of the second camera. The controller outputs the drive signal driving at least one of the first actuator and the second actuator to the interface so that an image capturing region of composite image data in which the first image data and the second image data are combined is narrower when the altitude indicated by the altitude information is lower.

  • Patent number: 10252307
    Abstract: Each time a highly-viscous substance is extruded, a variation in weight of each cut piece of the highly-viscous substance is minimized. Metallic sodium (5) loaded in an extruder main body (3) is extruded from a nozzle (7) of the extruder main body (3) with a pressing tool (4) and, when it is detected that the metallic sodium (5) is extruded to a predetermined position, the movement of the pressing tool (4) is stopped and the extruded metallic sodium (5) is cut. In this case, an impulse (P) after stop is brought closer to a constant value until a load no longer acts on the metallic sodium (5) in the extruder main body (3) after stopping the movement of the pressing tool (4) by adjusting the movement speed of the pressing tool (4).
