  • Publication number: 20230040665
    Abstract: An image acquisition unit (211) acquires a photographed image obtained by photographing an air-conditioning indoor unit including a plurality of air outlets. An image collation unit (212) collates a template image wherein an air-conditioning indoor unit of a same type as the air-conditioning indoor unit is shown with the photographed image. An air outlet identification unit (213) determines an air outlet identifier of each air outlet in the photographed image based on a collation result, and on air outlet identification data indicating an air outlet identifier to be associated with each air outlet in the template image. An identification result display unit (214) displays the photographed image by superimposing the air outlet identifier on each air outlet in the photographed image.

  • Patent number: 11479561
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.
