  • Patent number: 11965319
    Abstract: A work machine includes a vehicle body and a work implement attached to the vehicle body. A system calibrates the work machine by using an external measurement apparatus. The system includes an attitude sensor, a positional sensor attached to the vehicle body, a storage device, an input device and a processor. The attitude sensor outputs attitude data indicative of an attitude of the vehicle body. The storage device stores machine data indicative of a position of the positional sensor in a vehicle body coordinate system. The input device receives an input of calibration data including a position of a predetermined measurement point on the work machine measured by the external measurement apparatus, and a position of the positional sensor measured by the external measurement apparatus. The processor calibrates the machine data based on the calibration data and the attitude data.

  • Publication number: 20240102924
    Abstract: A diagnostic optical microscope according to the present embodiment includes at least one laser light source (11) configured to generate laser light for illuminating a sample (40) containing a light absorbing material, a lens configured to focus the laser light to be focused on the sample (40), scanning means for changing a focusing position of the laser light on the sample (40), and a light detector (31) configured to detect laser light transmitted through the sample (40) as signal light. A laser light intensity is changed to obtain a nonlinear region in which the laser light intensity and a signal light intensity have a nonlinear relation due to occurrence of saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material when the laser light intensity is maximized. An image is generated based on a nonlinear component of the signal light based on the saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material.

  • Patent number: 11580132
    Abstract: A cloud computing system, which works in cooperation with a plurality of relay devices, is configured to receive measurement data transmitted from each of the relay devices arranged in respective bases and perform accumulation processing in a hierarchical structure of a logical tree form in a measurement database, and perform aggregation analysis processing on the measurement data subjected to the accumulation processing in the respective bases and for each integration target between the bases. The aggregation analysis processing is performed on the measurement data for the each integration target between the bases by recognizing a relationship between the bases under the same starting point on the basis of a measurement unit of a measurement value or a type of a measurement source as for the value in the source accumulated in the database as an ending point of the hierarchical structure.
