  • Patent number: 11989029
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus for determining control values for controlling a position of a vehicle for conveying a cargo includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire first information for identifying a three-dimensional shape of the cargo based on a captured first image of the cargo, and second information for identifying, based on a captured second image of an environment where the vehicle moves, a distance between an object in the environment and the vehicle, and a determination unit configured to, based on the first information and the second information, determine the control values for preventing the cargo and the object from coming closer than a predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 10863272
    Abstract: A system identification device for performing fast real-time identification for a system from input/output data includes a filter robust to disturbance, by setting the maximum energy gain from the disturbance to a filter error, as an evaluation criterion, smaller than a given upper limit. The filter estimates a state estimation value of a state of the system.

  • Patent number: 8126175
    Abstract: A hearing aid device is provided in which wireless data transmission and reception are established between a first hearing aid and a second hearing aid, worn one on each ear, wherein in a case where wireless transmission and reception are not possible, the first hearing aid and the second hearing aid are switched from a liaison operation mode in which both hearing aids are interactively adjusted to a solo operation mode in which each hearing aid is independently adjusted. In a case where wireless transmission and reception are possible, the first hearing aid and the second hearing aid are switched from the solo operation mode to the liaison operation mode.

  • Patent number: 8111849
    Abstract: A hearing aid which achieves a comfortable feeling to use while preventing generation of howling includes a microphone for converting an environmental sound to an electric signal, a hearing aid processor for hearing aid processing of an output signal of the microphone, an earphone for converting an output signal of the hearing aid processor to a sound signal, an external ear canal microphone converting a sound within an external ear canal to an electric signal, and an adaptive filter for comparing an output signal of the external ear canal microphone and the output signal of the hearing aid processor to automatically adjust the output signal of the hearing aid processor in such a manner that the output signal of the external ear canal microphone approaches the output signal of the hearing aid processor.
