  • Publication number: 20220288735
    Abstract: Provided is a tool pot overcoming a problem that dirt adhered to the tool pot is transferred to a contact face of a tool. A pull stud holder includes a pusher that moves in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the tool whereby a tapered face provided at a distal end of the pusher pushes a tapered face of a pull stud in an axial direction of the tool. A base member includes a pull stud receiver that receives an end face of the pull stud.

  • Patent number: 11318948
    Abstract: A driver condition estimating device includes circuitry configured to measure movement of the head of a driver output from a driver camera that photographs the driver and detect a sign of abnormality of the driver from the movement of the head. The circuitry determines existence of the sign of abnormality of the driver by calculating a periodic feature amount from time series data showing movement of the head of the driver, calculating coherence between the movement of the head of the driver and lateral acceleration acting on the head of the driver, calculating time series variation patterns from the obtained periodic feature amount and the obtained coherence, and comparing the obtained time series variation patterns with a predetermined threshold.
