  • Publication number: 20230117375
    Abstract: A system of collating a spectral data of an arbitrary material with spectral data of existing materials to identify the kind of the arbitrary material comprises a one-dimensional CNN processor calculating a characteristic value vector based on a spectral data of a material by a one-dimensional convolution neural network algorithm, and a metric learning processor computing a probability that the kind of the material is each kind of the existing materials from the characteristic value vector by a deep metric learning algorithm. The processors learn with the spectral data of existing materials to compute a probability for the kind of each material such that the probabilities for the kinds of the respective materials inputted for data for learning becomes maximum. When the data of the arbitrary material is inputted, the kind giving the maximum probability is identified as the kind of the arbitrary material with high precision.

    Abstract: A fan includes an impeller including an impeller plate and a motor including a rotor with a rotor plate. A protrusion of the impeller plate protrudes downward in an axial direction from a lower surface on a lower side in the axial direction toward the rotor plate. A plate spring of the rotor plate extends in a direction intersecting the axial direction and is bendable in the axial direction. At least a portion of the protrusion is accommodated in a hole of the rotor plate. The protrusion contacts a leading end of the plate spring while being accommodated in the hole. The plate spring is bent in the axial direction while the protrusion is in contact with the leading end of the plate spring.
