  • Patent number: 9216433
    Abstract: A powder coating system which is provided with a rotating stage which makes a metal cylindrical member rotate while holding its internal circumferential surface, a first booth which covers part of the metal cylindrical member which is held by the rotating stage, and a second booth which holds the first booth. A powder coating introduction nozzle which is provided with a filling port of powder coating and a plurality of powder coating spray ports is provided so that a filling port is positioned at the outside of the second booth and so that the plurality of spray ports can be changed in position in the first booth to face surface parts of the metal cylindrical member. The sprayed powder coating is collected inside the second booth by a flow of air from a blow device and is removed by being sucked up by a powder collector.

  • Patent number: 8594928
    Abstract: Provided is a device, method and program enabling high-speed map matching while maintaining a precision of an analysis based on a map matching result even when event data is transmitted from numerous vehicles. A grid is obtained by the division of a region in which a road network exists into a latitude direction and a longitude direction by equal spaces based on data stored in the road data storage unit. A grid ID is unitarily assigned to each set of grids whose sets of arcs which are roads are common and arc passing the grid. An event grid matching unit correlates event data collected from a vehicle and a grid. When the number of pieces of event data correlated with the grid is large, a data selecting unit selects a part of the data. An event road matching unit correlates the selected event data and a road in the grid.

  • Patent number: 8566031
    Abstract: Provided is a map matching device, method and program. The map matching device may comprise a road grid dividing unit and a grid road combining unit. The road grid dividing unit is for deriving a grid obtained by the division of a region where a road network exists in a latitude direction and a longitude direction by equal spaces and correlating the grid and an arc crossing the grid. The grid road combining unit is for assigning a common arc ID to a plurality of grids which are adjacent to each other and whose sets of arcs correlated are coincident and assigning an arc ID to a grid whose set of arcs correlated is different from a set of arcs of any of adjacent grids to generate information indicative of a relationship among a range of a grid, a grid ID and an arc passing the grid.

  • Patent number: 8552851
    Abstract: A vehicle state determination unit receives vehicle data from a vehicle sensor and position data from a position sensor with a certain frequency. A mode selection unit selects a driving operation mode on the basis of the data received from the vehicle state determination unit and passes the data to a data comparison unit. The data comparison unit reads out model data of the driving operation mode specified by the mode selection unit, from a model data storage unit, compares data received from the vehicle state determination unit and the model data, and passes the comparison result to a driving state determination unit. The driving state determination unit statistically processes the comparison result received from the data comparison unit and passes the result of the determination to a warning display unit.

  • Patent number: 8489620
    Abstract: An analysis preprocessing system is provided which is capable of, when large amounts of data are received from a large number of data generation sources, rapidly passing those data to means for analyzing the data in order of time of generation thereof. Data acquisition means 71 acquires a data group generated by a plurality of data generation sources. Data clipping means 72 clips each data from the data group. Rearrangement control means 73 retains each clipped data therein, selects data generated prior to the corresponding data when data from a delay maximum data generation source is detected, and rearranges the selected data in order of time of generation thereof. A data storage buffer 74 stores the data rearranged in order of time of generation thereof. Analysis data determination means determines an analysis data group which is a set of data used for analysis, from the data stored in the data storage buffer 74.

  • Patent number: 8355864
    Abstract: Provided is a general-purpose map matching system enabling high-speed map matching while maintaining a precision of an analysis based on a map matching result even when event data is transmitted from numerous vehicles. The grid road generation unit 8 generates each grid obtained by the division of a region in which a road network exists into a latitude direction and a longitude direction by equal spaces based on data stored in the road network storage unit. Then, combine grids whose sets of roads passing are the same. The event grid matching unit correlates event data collected from a vehicle and a grid. When the number of pieces of event data correlated with the grid is large, the event processing priority determination unit selects a part of the data. The event road matching unit correlates the selected event data and a road in the grid.

  • Publication number: 20120143834
    Abstract: Each time sequential data is generated by a data generation source (001), the data is inputted into a sequential data memory unit (002) and accumulated in a memory device. Each time sequential data is inputted, a sequence summary unit (003) creates a sequence approximation function that approximates the inputted sequential data and previously inputted sequential data. A summary result memory unit (008) stores the sequence approximation functions that were created by the sequence summary unit (003). At specified timing, an accumulated data summary unit (005) creates, from a specified range of sequential data that was accumulated in the sequential data memory unit (002), a collective approximation function that approximates that sequential data with that range as the domain.

    Abstract: An analysis preprocessing system is provided which is capable of rapidly passing data to means for analyzing data while preventing the data from overflowing, even if large amounts of data are transmitted from a large number of data generation sources. Data acquisition means 71 acquires a data group generated by the plurality of data generation sources. Data clipping means 72 clips each data from the data group acquired by the data acquisition means 71. Sampling means 73 samples part of the clipped data and stores the sampled data in a buffer 74. Analysis data determination means 75 determines an analysis data group which is a set of data used for analysis, from the data stored in the buffer 74.
