  • Patent number: 11959899
    Abstract: Disclosed is a 4-method for preparing original data of an odor image includes a measurement result acquiring step of acquiring each measurement result measured with respect to the odor substance included in the sample in each of a plurality of sensor elements of an odor sensor, and a data processing step of generating the original data for representing the odor of the sample in the image by processing each of the acquired measurement results. Each of the sensor elements has different detection properties with respect to the odor substance. In a case where each of the original data items is represented in a small image, the odor of the sample is represented in an odor image in a predetermined display mode in which small images are assembled, and each of the small images is varied in accordance with the magnitude of the value of each original data item.

  • Patent number: 11493833
    Abstract: An indoor camera includes: an image capturing unit; a pan mechanism configured to drive a pan motor to rotate the image capturing unit around a vertical axis; a motor holder housing the pan mechanism and having a contact surface parallel to a horizontal axis on a bottom surface; a suction cup having an internal space and formed of an elastic member, the suction cup having upper and lower openings in upper and lower portions of the internal space, respectively; and a suction cup holder fixed to the suction cup and configured to support a load of a main mechanism portion housing the image capturing unit and the pan mechanism. The lower opening is closed by an installation surface on which the suction cup is installed. The upper opening is configured to seal the internal space by supporting the contact surface by the load of the main mechanism portion.
