Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a brake device deterioration prediction system capable of accurately predicting a deterioration time of a brake device. The brake device deterioration prediction system includes an observation unit, a conversion unit, a generation unit, and a prediction unit. The observation unit acquires operation data regarding the operation of the brake device when the brake device operates. The conversion unit converts the operation data into index data indicating deterioration of the brake device for each preset unit of time. The generation unit generates a deterioration model including a trend component showing a trend of long-term change and a periodic component showing a periodic change, as a model showing a change-with-time of deterioration represented by the index data. The prediction unit predicts the deterioration time of the brake device based on the deterioration model.

Abstract: An information processing system includes: a setting unit to set a normal range showing a range of normal values of monitoring target data of time series signals by defining an upper limit and a lower limit; a determination unit to determine whether the monitoring target data is out of the normal range or not and to feed the determined time which is output in case of deviation and which is judged to be the time for the monitoring target data to turn to be out of the normal range; and a detection unit to determine the start time that is before the determined time entering from the determination unit and which is the time for the monitoring target data to start to show an anomaly on the basis of the degree of deviation showing a deviation of the monitoring target data from a mean of multiple learning data which consist of normal value signals from among already-acquired monitoring target data. This enables the system to more accurately determine the time for the signal to start to show an anomaly.

Abstract: A motor includes a stator having magnets, a rotor having teeth, a commutator secured to the rotor, and brushes. A coil is wound about each tooth. The commutator is connected to the coils. The brushes slidably contact the commutator. The number of the magnets and the number of the teeth are determined such that the resultant of torque vectors that act on the teeth is zero. For example, the number of the magnet is six, and the number of the teeth is eight. As a result, the rotor is prevented from vibrating.

Information such as roads between intersections and intersections which are the starting and end points of roads are obtained from the intersection data and road data, and an optimum route is retrieved by comparing routes. The map data is put into the form of a layered structure, as shown in FIG.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention is designed to compare the distance from the previous intersection or feature to a further feature with the value from an odometer (2) and then to forcibly zero the remaining distance to the further feature when the difference between the distance and the value of the odometer becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined value and when the feature is detected by a radar (12) or a road surface sensor (13). In consequence, even if the vehicle has to travel a long distance before it reaches an intersection where it makes a turn, a correct travelled distance can be obtained by correcting the distance detection errors as each feature is detected, thereby enabling a correct present position to be detected.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus for a vehicle includes a vehicle speed sensor (1-a) for detecting an actual vehicle speed, an odometer (1-b) for detecting a travel distance of the vehicle, a processing unit (5) for calculating a present position from the detection signals from the vehicle speed sensor and the odometer, and a display means for displaying the calculated present position on a map displayed. The actual vehicle speed is compared with an angular velocity of the wheel obtained by the odometer (1-b), and, only when the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the angular velocity of the wheel exceeds a predetermined value, the travel distance is calculated using the actual vehicle speed. The actual vehicle speed sensor (1-a) may include two photosensors. The vehicle speed is operated using the degree of coincidence of the two waveforms. Furthermore, the travel distance is calculated after the vehicle has travelled a fixed distance or for a fixed period of time.
