  • Publication number: 20230410298
    Abstract: The system includes a memory that stores a trained model, and a processor. The processor acquires a pre-treatment image in which at least one energy device and at least one biological tissue are imaged, and a state before application of energy is imaged. The processor estimates an estimated heat diffusion region from the pre-treatment image and information regarding an energy supply amount by processing based on a trained model stored in the memory. The processor superimposes the estimated heat diffusion region on a captured image of the camera and displays the captured image with the superimposed estimated heat diffusion region.

  • Patent number: 11326540
    Abstract: An abnormality determination device of an internal combustion engine in which a breather line connects an intake-air path positioned upstream from a forced-induction system and a crankcase includes an intake-air flow rate sensor that detects an intake air flow rate in the intake-air path, a pressure sensor that detects a pressure of the breather line, and an abnormality determination unit that determines abnormality of the breather line. The abnormality determination unit estimates an intake air resistance of the intake-air path from the pressure when the engine is under low load conditions under which the intake air flow rate is less than a predetermined value and the pressure when the engine is under high load conditions under which the intake air flow rate is the predetermined value or greater and determines abnormality of the breather line when the intake air resistance is less than a threshold.
