  • Publication number: 20230314918
    Abstract: When a camera detects light which satisfies a first condition and with which a projection surface is irradiated by a pointing apparatus in captured images formed by capturing the projection surface, the camera selects at least one of a plurality of control points as a control point in a selected state based on the position of the light which satisfies the first condition in the captured images, whereas when the camera detects light which satisfies a second condition different from the first condition and with which the projection surface is irradiated by the pointing apparatus in the captured images, the camera transmits an instruction to change the position of the control point in the selected state to a projector based on a change in the position of the light which satisfies the second condition and is detected in the captured images.

  • Publication number: 20230204451
    Abstract: Accurate damage diagnosis is obtained using strain, typified by low-cycle fatigue damage and the like, representing a majority of the damage from age deterioration of a machine facility. A rotating electrical machine damage diagnostic system evaluates fatigue damage in a component of a rotating electrical machine based on a sensor. A strain range calculating section determines elastic strain and elastic stress in an evaluation area of the rotating electrical machine in terms of a quadratic function of a rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine detected by the sensor. Conversion of the elastic strain range and the elastic stress range into a total strain range is performed and a fatigue damage rate is calculated in the evaluation area of the rotating electrical machine from the total strain range resulting from the conversion. An integration section is provided for cumulating the fatigue damage rates to calculate a cumulated fatigue damage rate.
