  • Publication number: 20240152133
    Abstract: A threshold acquisition apparatus acquires a threshold for determining whether an anomaly score acquired from a target sound is normal or anomalous. The threshold acquisition apparatus includes: an allowable number setting unit that sets an allowable number of times such that the number of anomaly scores determined to be anomalous included in a set of anomaly scores per predetermined section length, which is a part of time-series acoustic signals that do not include an anomalous sound, does not exceed the allowable number of times; and a threshold estimation unit that estimates a threshold candidate such that the number of sections determined to be anomalous per predetermined section length, which is a part of time-series acoustic signals, satisfies a predetermined criterion by using the allowable number of times, and acquires the threshold candidate as the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240151058
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a utility pole and a method for constructing the utility pole, which can simplify and improve efficiency of work at the time of new construction and replacement and can shorten a work period. The anchor has a larger diameter than a body of a utility pole on the ground and has higher ground support force. Thus, the hole for building the assembly type utility pole on the ground can be made shallower than the hole for building the utility pole in related art on the ground. The depth of the hole is shallow, so that it is possible to reduce a period for digging, reduce a probability of hitting a buried object, and reduce work for confirming a buried object. In addition, the assembly type utility pole includes a plurality of parts, and thus, only a degraded portion needs to be replaced, so that it is possible to shorten replacement work.
