Abstract: A system which extracts motion data from a video image of an infant, and determines synchronism, symmetry, and/or coordination among the limbs. The system uses the synchronism, symmetry, and/or coordination results to determine whether the infant has a disease and/or what disease it may be. The system uses as an index for coordination one or more of: a movement start/stop order and acceleration of the markers; the trajectory, speed, or acceleration of a midpoint of a line connecting markers attached to various combinations of the arms and legs; and the trajectory, speed, and acceleration of a gravity center of a plane connecting three markers attached to various limbs.

Abstract: An axial-flow fan according to the present disclosure can increase the amount of the airflow and simultaneously reduce the noise level. A plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D are curved, in a convex manner, toward a rotating direction of an impeller. The plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D are generally inclined so that discharge-side edge portions 11d thereof are located more forward than suction-side edge portions 11c thereof in the rotating direction. An inclination angle ?4 of each of the plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D in the vicinity of the external end portion 11a is larger than the inclination angle ?3 in the vicinity of the internal end portion 11b. The inclination angle is gradually changed from the vicinity of the external end portion 11a toward the vicinity of the internal end portion 11b.

Abstract: The present invention provides a component cooling apparatus in which it is possible to suppress resonation of a fan housing due to the rotation of the fan. Four extended portions 33A, 33B extending into an air suction opening 25a are integrally formed with the duct 5. Projected portions 35A, 35B projecting toward the fan 3are integrally formed with the extended portions 33A, 33B respectively. The end portions of the projected portions 35A, 35B are arranged in contact with end portions of corner portions which are located around the housing-side mount holes 21a of the flange portion 21. The fan 3 is fixed inside the duct 5 by inserting a mounting member such as a screw and a bolt into each pair of a housing-side mount hole 21a and a duct-side mount hole 33a with four housing-side mount hole 21a and four duct-side mount hole 33a being aligned with each other. Accordingly, the fan housing 11 and the duct 5 are not in contact with each other except at mounting portions around the housing-side mount holes 21a.

Abstract: [Problems]To observe a state of an infant without attaching measurement instruments to an infant, thereby enabling early detection of various diseases and reducing a parent's mental burden ascribable to the observation. [Means for Solving the Problems] An imaging device 2 photographs an infant to output a motion picture of the infant as digital data, and an analyzing device 1 determines movement of at least one limb out of the four limbs of the infant from the motion picture of the infant photographed by the imaging device 2 to identify a disease and/or symptom of the infant from the movement of the limb.

A steel pipe produced from a steel plate by forming and welding is subjected to 0.3 to 1.2% of expansion and then to 0.1 to 1.0% of reduction. The steel pipe produced by this method has a structure in which martensite and/or bainite accounts for more than 80% as expressed in terms of area percentage, and has a yield strength of not lower than 551 MPa and a yield ratio of not higher than 93%. The pipe reduction is desirably carried out at a lower work ratio as compared with the pipe expansion.

Abstract: An image encoding device is provided that can transmit encoded image data without lowering the frame rate even when the transmission speed of the transmission path is lowered. An encoded region designator selects the region that is to be encoded, in the input image, depending on the bit rate of the transmission path. Only such a region that is designated by the encoded region designator is encoded. The encoded region designator may be one which selects the region that is to be encoded, according to the bit rate of the transmission path, and the motion vector detected by the image encoding circuit. As an alternative, an encoded region designator may be used which selects the region that is to be encoded according to the bit rate of the transmission path, and the information on the designated region supplied from the outside.
