  • Publication number: 20230237915
    Abstract: A power supply information determination apparatus acquires, for each of one or a plurality of landing places each including equipment on which a battery-driven vertical take-off and landing aircraft capable of autonomously flying can land, aircraft information about the aircraft flying in a surrounding region of a landing place, and place information about the landing place. The place information includes facility information indicating a power supply facility and an attached power supply facility capable of supplying power in a landing state and a non-landing state, respectively. Both facilities are provided at the landing place. The apparatus determines a facility of at least one of a power supply facility and an attached power supply facility of each aircraft, a power supply start time to the facility, and a waiting period, based on the acquired information about each aircraft and each landing place, and transmits determined information to the corresponding aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20230229164
    Abstract: A notification control apparatus (2000) acquires video data or audio data for a plurality of persons (10) (a human group (40)) who have a conversation within a predetermined distance with each other in a surveillance area. The notification control apparatus (2000) determines whether or not the human group (40) is in a state suitable for receiving a notification using the acquired data. When the human group (40) is in the state suitable for receiving the notification, the notification control apparatus (2000) issues a predetermined notification.

  • Publication number: 20230196930
    Abstract: A landing information determination apparatus according to this example embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a communication unit. The acquisition unit acquires, for each of a plurality of landing places each including a facility on which an aircraft capable of autonomously flying can land, aircraft information being information concerning the aircraft flying in a surrounding area of a landing place, and place information being information concerning the landing place. The determination unit determines a landing place for each of the aircrafts and a flight path to the landing place, based on the aircraft information for each of the aircrafts, and the place information for each of the landing places, which are acquired by the acquisition unit. The communication unit transmits information indicating the landing place and the flight path for each of the aircrafts, which are determined by the determination unit, to the corresponding aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20180149241
    Abstract: Provided is a speed change mechanism including a first input section (10), a second input section (20), a planetary gear mechanism (30), and an output section (40). The planetary gear mechanism (30) includes a planetary worm wheel (31), a sun gear (32), and a plurality of planetary gears (33). The planetary worm wheel (31) includes internal teeth and external teeth, the external teeth mesh with a first worm (15), and the planetary worm wheel (31) rotates in response to the rotation of the first worm (15). The sun gear (32) is connected to an input worm wheel (26) and rotates in response to the rotation of the input worm wheel (26). Each of the plurality of planetary gears (33) meshes with the internal teeth of the planetary worm wheel (31) and the external teeth of the sun gear (32).

  • Patent number: 9985751
    Abstract: A node device (1A) receives a second ACK list in communication with an adjacent node (1B) and updates a first ACK list and a first summary vector on the basis of the second ACK list. The first summary vector, which indicates messages stored in a message buffer of the node device (1A), is transmitted to the adjacent node (1B) prior to transmission of the messages in the communication with the adjacent node (1B). The first ACK list indicates ACK messages recognized by the node device (1A). The second ACK list indicates ACK messages recognized by the adjacent node (1B). Each ACK message represents a message of arrival at an ultimate destination node via a DTN (100). In this way, for example, a copy having the same content as a message having arrived at an ultimate destination node can be prevented from being scattered in the Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN).

  • Patent number: 6566671
    Abstract: An apparatus and/or a method for inspecting fine defects on a substrate having minute patterns formed thereon as a target of inspection by detecting an image thereof with fine pixel size, wherein high speed processing is needed for position alignment over a wide region which is expanded equivalently therewith while obtaining a video processing circuit having a small size, wherein a video signal equal to or less than 0.2 &mgr;m in pixel size is obtained by using an optical system of DUV (far-ultraviolet) light or a video detection system of an electron beam. For instance, a search region for detecting position gaps is set at ±4 pixels, while on one substrate are mounted a plurality of video processing circuits, each being constructed with an LSI which can perform processing of k channels, thereby realizing a high-speed video processing portion having a small size.
