  • Publication number: 20240153640
    Abstract: An information processing system includes: a machine learning model learned using learning data including two or more types of modal information acquired from a patient or a subject; a setting unit that sets input data to be used as input to the machine learning model from the learning data; and an output unit that inputs the input data to the machine learning model and outputs an estimation result of efficacy of a medicine or a health condition for the patient or the subject, in which the setting unit sets the input data on the basis of the degree of influence given to estimation of a diagnosis result at the time of learning of the machine learning model, the degree of influence given by each piece of the modal information included in the learning data.

  • Patent number: 11813698
    Abstract: In a laser cutting method, a cut slit of a welding protruding-tab configured to be bent by laser cutting along an outline of a processed part and press a peripheral surface of the processed part is laser-cut in advance in a periphery of the processed part that is cut from a workpiece, and an outline slit is formed by performing laser cutting along the outline of the processed part and a free end of the welding protruding-tab is welded to the peripheral surface of the processed part. According to the above described laser cutting method, it is possible to retain the processed part reliably and stably for a long period, and it is possible to easily separate the processed part from the workpiece with almost no trace left on the processed part.

  • Patent number: 11084124
    Abstract: A laser cutting nozzle includes an inner nozzle and an outer nozzle. The inner nozzle exhibits a tube shape having a through hole on an axis and having a diameter decreasing on a first end portion side and includes a notch extending in the axis direction along an outer peripheral surface on a second end portion side. The outer nozzle is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the inner nozzle and includes a vent passage including the notch and communicating between the first end portion and the second end portion in the axis direction. A minimum flow cross-sectional area of the vent passage matches an opening area of the notch in an end surface on the second end portion side.

  • Patent number: 10974346
    Abstract: According to a laser cutting method, a processed part is laser-cut so that the processed part doesn't drop off from a sheet-shaped workpiece. In the laser cutting method, a cut slit of a pressing protrusion, which is curved due to a laser cutting process along an outline of the processed part and then presses a peripheral surface of the processed part, is preliminarily formed around the processed part to be cut out from the workpiece. Then, the laser cutting process is carried out along the outline of the processed part. The pressing protrusion curves toward the processed part due to the laser cutting process of the processed part, and then the processed part is retained by the pressing protrusion.

  • Patent number: 10576584
    Abstract: A period of time during which a laser beam moves through an inner region of a beam spot that ranges from a center of the beam spot to an area corresponding to a thermal energy of 44% with respect to a total thermal energy of the beam spot is set as a moving time tp. “c”, “?”, “?”, “T”, “T0”, “A”, and “Pd” respectively represents a specific heat, a density, a thermal conductivity, a melting temperature, an environmental temperature, a light absorptance, and an energy density of the inner region. A time calculated from Equation (1) is set as a melting time tm. A plate thickness is represented by x and a value of tm/tp is represented by y. The value y is set between a lower limit value (Equation (2)) and an upper limit value (Equation (3)). tm=c×?×?×?[(T?T0)/(2×A×Pd)]2??(1) y=0.0027e0.36x??(2) y=0.0026e0.
