  • Patent number: 11708762
    Abstract: The film cooling structure includes a wall part and a cooling hole inclined such that an outlet is positioned rearward of an inlet. The cooling hole includes a straight-tube part and a diffuser part. The diffuser part includes a flat surface, a curved surface curved rearward and forming, together with the flat surface, a semicircular or semi-elliptical channel cross section larger than that of the straight-tube part, a first section and a second section extending from the first section toward the outlet. In the first section, an area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet. In the second section, the area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet at an increase rate smaller than that of the first section or is constant. The diffuser part has a width equal to or twice greater than the depth of the diffuser part.

  • Publication number: 20220343632
    Abstract: An image classification device, an image classification method, and an image classification program determine a classification label of an image of an object, by two-stage recognition based on a first model and a second model. If a first label calculated based on the image and the first model is not a predetermined label, the first label is set as the classification label of the image. If the first label is the predetermined label, a second label calculated based on the image and the second model is set as the classification label of the image.
