  • Patent number: 12360089
    Abstract: A column 2 is provided in a gas capturing unit 20 for capturing sample gas. A gas supply unit 1 supplies carrier gas for sending sample gas into the column 2. A gas separation mechanism 100 guides carrier gas in the column 2 to the outside of the column 2 by setting the lead-out path 5 to negative pressure with respect to the inside of the column 2. A heating unit 23 heats the column 2 to desorb sample gas captured by the gas capturing unit 20. Sample gas desorbed from the gas capturing unit 20 is introduced into a cell 31. A light source unit 32 irradiates sample gas in the cell 31 with light. An analysis unit 3 analyzes sample gas based on an intensity change of light emitted by the light source unit 32.

  • Publication number: 20250191044
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of cameras is arranged to face the inside of a shooting area. An image storage unit stores image data generated by each camera. A composite image generator generates composite image data corresponding to image data obtained by shooting a subject from a position at a predetermined angle in any direction from a center point, based on image data generated by at least two cameras adjacent in a circumferential direction, with a predetermined direction from the center point taken as an angle of 0 degrees. A sales controller sells image data stored in the image storage unit or composite image data generated by the composite image generator as content when a purchaser of content selects an angle in any direction from the center point to purchase the content.

  • Patent number: 12214833
    Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle, comprising: an operation member operable by a vehicle driver; an urging device configured to generate an urging force to urge the operation member; a steering device configured to steer a wheel; and a controller configured to control the urging device and the steering device. In a normal operation, the controller enables the wheel to be steered in accordance with an operation of the operation member and causes the urging force to function as an operation reaction force against the operation of the operation member. In an automatic steering operation in which the wheel is steered without depending on the operation of the operation member, the controller enables the operation member to be moved in accordance with steering of the wheel by the urging force and causes at least part of the urging force generated in the normal operation not to be generated.
