  • Publication number: 20240089643
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a reproduction system, a display apparatus, and a reproduction apparatus for providing higher acoustic performance. There is provided a reproduction system including a display apparatus including a display section configured to display an image of content, and a first sound output section configured to output a sound of the content in a manner localizing a sound image on a screen of the display section, and a reproduction apparatus including a processing section configured to process an audio signal of the content, and a second sound output section configured to output the sound of the content, in which the first sound output section and the second sound output section output the sound simultaneously on the basis of an audio signal of a center channel of the content. This disclosure may be applied to an AV system formed by a television receiver and audio equipment, for example.

  • Patent number: 10661101
    Abstract: A dose distribution calculation device of the invention is characterized by including: a beam information storing unit (a measured energy storing unit, a measured electric-charge storing unit, a measured beam-central axis storing unit), in which, when particle beam information of a particle beam generated by a particle beam therapy system is measured by a measuring device in confirmative radiation in which the particle beam is radiated to a phantom as a substitute for a treatment target, the thus-measured particle beam information is stored; and a total dose calculation unit for calculating a radiation dose distribution (a total dose distribution) on the basis of the measured particle beam information (a measured energy, a measured beam quantity (a measured number of electric charges), a measured position of beam central axis).

  • Patent number: 10090705
    Abstract: A control unit of a plant facilities testing apparatus implements a first step of obtaining unupdated screen information and updated screen information, a second step of obtaining an unupdated test-item table file, a third step of comparing the unupdated screen information with the updated screen information and extracting a change item and an addition item while categorizing a difference thereinto, a fourth step of creating a test-item table file for an addition portion based on the addition item, a fifth step of creating a test-item table file for a change portion based on the change item and the unupdated test-item table file, and a sixth step of creating an updated test-item table file by combining the test-item table file for an addition portion with the test-item table file for a change portion.

  • Publication number: 20170269580
    Abstract: A remote integrated monitoring operation system includes: a unit integrated database for sequentially recording a name of each plant unit, a parameter indicating an event that has occurred in the plant unit, a state of the parameter, and warning classification indicated by the parameter and the state; an inter-unit influence degree evaluation database for recording influence of the event on the other plant unit; a restoration response guidance database for defining a response to the event; a per-unit urgency degree determination section for determining a degree of urgency of each plant unit; an inter-unit influence degree determination section for evaluating a degree of influence of the event on the other plant unit; and a priority determination section for determining priorities between the respective plant units from the degree of urgency and the degree of influence.
