Abstract: A learning device generates a first learned model by subjecting a learning model to learning such that a correlation coefficient between a first explanatory variable for learning and an explained variable output from the learning model is maximized when the learning model that outputs an explained variable in a case where an explanatory variable is input is subjected to learning on the basis of first learning data representing a pair of the first explanatory variable for learning and a first explained variable for learning. When the first learned model is subjected to relearning on the basis of the second learning data representing the pair of the second explanatory variable for learning and the second explained variable for learning, the learning device generates the second learned model by subjecting the first learned model to relearning such that the error between the second explained variable for learning and the explained variable output from the first learned model is minimized.

Abstract: An estimation device collects sensor data representing a change in a load along a time series as a change in a voltage value from a sensor that generates a voltage when a load applied to an area changes, and estimates a matter related to a measurement target passing through a predetermined area by using sensor data collected from the sensor installed in the predetermined area.

Abstract: A prediction method of performing heat source demand prediction in a space having a predetermined air conditioning control region, includes predicting a required heat quantity in the air conditioning control region by using a predetermined parameter related to a surrounding environment of the air conditioning control region and a setting value of an air conditioner set in the air conditioning control region as inputs, and predicting a heat source demand of the entire space from the predicted required heat quantity for each air conditioning control region.

Abstract: Sufficient data extension can be achieved even if the starting date/time and ending date/time of the learning execution data have been uniquely defined. Based on entire learning data that is a set of time-series data, wherein the entire learning data is a set of minimum constitution unit data, each of which is time-series data having a first time interval that is a time interval required for learning, wherein the time-series data having the first time interval is each assigned a first label that indicates a feature in a time series of the first interval; a generation unit (103) generates learning execution data that is a set of time-series data to be used in learning, by combining the minimum constitution unit data included in the entire learning data such that regularity of the first label in a time series of the entire learning data is maintained.

Abstract: Medical forceps include a pair of arms; and a gripping portion provided at a tip end of each arm, wherein the gripping portion has, at least at part thereof, a first region having a first surface roughness, a region adjacent to the first region has a second region having a surface roughness different from the first surface roughness, and the medical forceps further have, between the first region and the second region, such a light-dark difference that a boundary between the regions is recognizable under illumination.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a training device for ophthalmic surgery so as to make it possible to readily practice inner limiting membrane peeling by using a simulated eye including a Japanese quail eggshell. This training device 1 for ophthalmic surgery includes a base 10 with a hollow portion 11 and a soft simulated sclera member 20 shaped like a part of sphere, wherein the hollow portion 11 is tapered from an upper side to a lower side and houses, upon use, a simulated eye 50 including an eggshell; the simulated sclera member 20 is provided on an upper side of the base 10; and a surgical instrument can contact, through the simulated sclera member 20, an inner surface of the simulated eye 50.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a conversion section that retrieves a printing data stored into a storage section on a first-in first-out basis, and converts, for each set of n lines, n being a predetermined number larger than or equal to 1, the retrieved printing data into image data in accordance with a printing setting in order in which the printing data is retrieved; a deletion controller that, at timing when printing of the image data is started, deletes, from the storage section, converted printing data corresponding to the image data; and a printing setting controller that, when the printing setting is changed during the printing of the image data, causes the conversion section to convert converted printing data stored in the storage section, in accordance with the changed printing setting.
