  • Patent number: 11619929
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce an error between an actual machine and a simulation by removing the influence of overlearning of an adjustment by a mathematically-described function, and to optimize automatic operation control of the machine. An automatic operation control system for controlling an automatic operation of a machine sets a first model showing a relation between a control signal string input to the machine on the basis of a mathematically-described function and data output from the machine controlled in accordance with the control signal string. In a learning process including learning the automatic operation control of the machine, the system executes learning using the first model until a first condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9264701
    Abstract: A video display apparatus includes a display section that carries out a display process based on a drive signal and a drive section that outputs to the display section a first drive signal based on a video signal having undergone video processing in a first video processing section at a fixed cycle and a second drive signal based on a video signal having undergone video processing in a second video processing section at the same cycle as the cycle at which the first drive signal is outputted but at timing shifted from the first drive signal by one-half the cycle. When the video signals contain two-dimensional video images, the first video processing section produces a video signal for two-dimensional video images and the second video processing section produces a video signal for black screen insertion.
