  • Publication number: 20240153204
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a formation unit configured to analyze relative positions of dots as measurement markers that expand and contract together with a suit, and form a cluster of the dots; an assignment unit configured to assign numbers to the cluster and the dots; a specification unit configured to acquire the assigned number, set the assigned number to a predetermined coordinate position, and specify a silhouette; and a generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) model based on the specified silhouette. The formation unit forms a hexagonal cluster from a dot pattern of the suit, and increases the hexagonal cluster to form a unique honeycomb structure. The assignment unit assigns numbers to the cluster and the dots based on the honeycomb structure. Solid dots and hollow dots are printed as the dots on the whole suit. Thus, a 3D model of a body shape of a user is created with higher accuracy by using a garment for measuring body sizes.

  • Patent number: 11962048
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack and a control device that controls operation of the fuel cell system based on a measured voltage value measured by a voltage sensor. When the fuel cell system is started and a value measured by a temperature sensor is equal to or less than a temperature determined in advance, the control device raises the voltage of the fuel cell stack until a voltage condition determined in advance is met, by supplying a cathode with an oxidant gas before current sweep is started. The control device sets a voltage command value and a current command value such that an operation point of the fuel cell stack is on an equal power line of the fuel cell stack when the operation point is caused to transition in at least a part of a transition period.
