  • Patent number: 11926227
    Abstract: In a moving-object power supply system, a control unit selects, as a power transmission segment, one of segments included in at least one power transmission section. The control unit supplies, through a power supply circuit, power to the power transmission segment to thereby generate a magnetic field through a power transmission coil of the power transmission segment. The control unit determines, based on an ascertained first electrical characteristic of the power transmission segment and an ascertained second electrical characteristic of at least one power non-transmission segment, whether there is a malfunction in each of the power transmission segment and the at least one power non-transmission segment.

  • Patent number: 11774772
    Abstract: A medical image processing device includes an image processing unit configured to perform image processing, based on image data generated by imaging reflected light of first visible light emitted to an object and fluorescence when a light source device simultaneously emits the first visible light and excitation light that excites a fluorescent substance to emit the fluorescence. The image processing unit is configured to generate an interpolation pixel value corresponding to a component of second visible light in a wavelength band different from a wavelength band of the first visible light, based on a first pixel value and output from a pixel receiving the reflected light of the first visible light emitted to the object, generate a background image based on the first pixel value and the interpolation pixel value, and generate a fluorescence image based on a second pixel value included in the image data and output from a pixel receiving the fluorescence.
