  • Patent number: 11926246
    Abstract: In a local cart traveling system, a frame track includes first and second metal rails each with an L-shaped cross section and facing each other. A local cart is within the frame track, and includes a first electricity receiving tire and a second electricity receiving tire to travel on horizontal travel surfaces of the rails. A voltage supplier supplies an AC voltage to the travel surfaces, so that the first metal rail and a first electricity receiving tire define a first capacitor and the second metal rail and the second electricity receiving tire define a second capacitor. The local cart includes a power receiver to receive AC power, and a travel motor that receives power after the AC power is rectified. The frame track includes a connecting plate as an electrical insulator covering portions of the surfaces of vertical walls of the first metal rail and the second metal rail.

  • Patent number: 11914507
    Abstract: To make validity of a prediction model created by machine learning be able to be verified with appropriate accuracy and efficiency. A software test apparatus includes a storage device configured to store a prediction model, and an arithmetic device. The arithmetic device is configured to accept inputs of a precondition, a constraint condition, and an approximation threshold value, convert the prediction model into a logical expression, analyze an approximation range based on the approximation threshold value with respect to the logical expression to simplify the logical expression, generate an inspection expression by combining the simplified logical expression with the precondition and negation of the constraint condition, search for, as a counterexample, a value satisfying the inspection expression, input the value to the prediction model to evaluate inspection accuracy when the counterexample exists, and output a result of the evaluation.
