  • Publication number: 20210382750
    Abstract: An output management device, an output management method, and a program are provided that manages output of input data to a processing module. The processing module is associated with first metadata indicating a condition of the input data. The input data is associated with second metadata indicating an attribute of the input data. The input data is temporarily stored in the data buffer. Output of the input data from the data buffer to the processing module is controlled by an output control unit. In the output management apparatus, a first acquisition unit acquires the first metadata. A second acquisition unit acquires the second metadata. A notification unit notifies the output control unit of whether or not the input data is allowed to be output to the processing module based on the first and second metadata.

  • Patent number: 11193755
    Abstract: Provided are a measurement system, a measurement device, a measurement method, and a measurement program. 3D data is registered to 3D data based on the displacements of joints of a robot at a point in time when a 3D sensor measures 3D data of a measurement object at a specific measurement point while the robot is stopped, and the displacements of the joints of the robot at a point in time when the 3D sensor measures 3D data of the measurement object at a measurement point other than the specific measurement point while that robot is in motion. The 3D data is further registered to the 3D data such that a registration error between the 3D data and the 3D data is less than a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20210361178
    Abstract: A blood pressure level change detection apparatus includes a change point detection unit and a level change/return determination unit. The change point detection unit detects a first change point as a change point in time-series data of blood pressure. A level change/return determination unit acquires a first average blood pressure level and a second average blood pressure level for time-series data of blood pressure. When a difference between the first average blood pressure level and the second average blood pressure level is greater than or equal to a predetermined level threshold value, the level change/return determination unit determines that a blood pressure level change has occurred at the first change point.
