  • Patent number: 10690499
    Abstract: An analysis system for analyzing inclination of column members includes a laser scanner, a server, and an information terminal. The server includes a data acquisition unit configured to acquire three-dimensional point cloud data of the column members generated by the laser scanner, a surface detector configured to detect surfaces of the column members based on the three-dimensional point cloud data, and an inclination analyzer configured to analyze inclination of the column members by calculating inclination of the surfaces detected by the surface detector.

  • Publication number: 20110069766
    Abstract: A method of communicating with using an electric power line for a mobile body so that a first device transmits first information to a second device includes: coupling the first device with multiple first coupling points in an electric power line network; coupling the second device with multiple second coupling points; transmitting second information about transmission characteristics from the second device to the first device; modulating multiple transmission waves to be transmitted from the first device via the transmission points by the first device with using a transmission diversity method based on the second information; and demodulating multiple reception waves received by the second device via the reception points by the second device with using a reception diversity method.
