  • Patent number: 11309141
    Abstract: A DC high-voltage relay including at least one contact pair including a movable contact and a fixed contact, having a contact force and/or opening force of 100 gf or more, the DC high-voltage relay of 48 V or more. The movable contact and/or the fixed contact includes Ag oxide-based contact material. Metal components in the contact material includes at least one metal M essentially containing Sn, and a balance including Ag and inevitable impurity metals. The content of the metal M is 0.2% by mass or more and 8% by mass or less based on the total mass of all metal components in the contact material. The contact material has a material structure in which one or more oxides of the metal M are dispersed in a matrix including Ag or a Ag alloy. As metal M, In, Bi, Ni and Te can be added.

  • Publication number: 20210174270
    Abstract: A rideshare vehicle demand forecasting device of an embodiment includes a processor. The processor acquires a reservation forecast number, which corresponds to a number of reservations each of which is capable of being established in future as a reservation for boarding/exiting a rideshare vehicle within a plurality of predetermined areas, at predetermined intervals by using a model including a neural network that is caused to perform machine learning by using, as input data, reservation data indicating a reservation situation at a time of establishment of the reservation for the rideshare vehicle, movement data indicating an area where an end user actually boards/exits the rideshare vehicle on an operation day of the rideshare vehicle, and boarding/exiting factor data containing data that are capable of becoming a factor for an occurrence of boarding/exiting of the end user on the operation day of the rideshare vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10911695
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a detector, a generator, and a compositor. The detector detects a first image region including a specific part of a subject from a first image obtained by photographing the subject. A generator generates a plurality of mask images for specifying a region to be composited with a second image including the first image region. The compositor composites the first image with the second image using the mask images. The mask images each include a region having higher luminance than luminance of the other regions out of regions of the first image, in a region in contact with another mask image or a region overlapping another mask image.

  • Patent number: 8061958
    Abstract: A method of adjusting any deviations of plate material in the lateral and longitudinal directions including: measuring positions on a first long side of a plate, rotating the plate thereby removing the difference between first and second points; measuring a position on a second long side of the plate, calculating the position of the center line in the lateral direction based on first, second and third points; adjusting the deviation of the positions by moving the plate in the lateral direction and matching the center line with the targeted center line; measuring a fourth position on a short side of the plate and calculating the position of the center line based on the position of the fourth point; and adjusting the deviation by moving the plate in a longitudinal direction and matching the center line in the longitudinal direction with the targeted center line.

  • Patent number: 6424374
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a hue adjusting device and a hue adjusting method that adjust finely the hue of a color image signal. The CPU calculates an off set matrix B that is in a pair with an off set matrix A to a central matrix X when the matrix X and the off set matrix A are inputted from an operating part. Then the CPU carries out the following operation when a parameter a is inputted from the operating part. X′=(a·A+(1−a)B)/2 It is possible to execute matrix conversion to adjust the hue by setting a matrix coefficient of each component of the matrix X′ the multiplication circuits.

  • Patent number: 4910598
    Abstract: In a solid state television camera for producing output signals corresponding to an object image detected by a solid state image sensor, positions of picture elements having crystal defects and the output signal levels of such defective components are previously stored as the defective picture element data in a memory device. Defect compensating signals corresponding to the actual image pickup operating states are formed on the basis of the defect picture element data read out from the memory device to correct the output signals of such defective picture elements in a manner to provide the image pickup output signals with superior picture quality.
