Abstract: A processor generates training data by performing a process, based on a parameter, on first measurement data. The processor trains a machine learning model by using the training data. The processor generates first data by performing the process on second measurement data. The processor generates a first prediction result by entering the first data into the machine learning model, and calculates prediction accuracy based on a label associated with the second measurement data and the first prediction result. The processor changes the parameter of the process in accordance with a comparison between the training data and the first data in response to the predication accuracy being less than a threshold.

Abstract: A robot for performing an expression by a non-verbal reaction, includes a body including a lower part provided so as to be capable of panning and tilting with respect to a support point coupled to a placement surface; a pair of arms provided to side parts of the body so as to be capable of moving up and down; and a head provided to an upper part of the body so as to be capable of panning and tilting, wherein the non-verbal reaction includes a combination of the tilting and the panning of the body with respect to the support point and movement of the pair of arms or the head or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A communication control apparatus, including a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to execute a process, the process including selecting one or more users from users based on intensities of received signals of sensor information transmitted by a plurality of tag devices associated with the users respectively, outputting information that instructs an operation for the plurality of tag devices, detecting the tag device for which the operation has been performed based on acceleration information of the plurality of tag devices, and causing a service provision device to output sound information regarding a service for a specific user associated with the detected tag device.

Abstract: A loom, containing a first and second fill yarn-holding conveyor rods which are disposed at left and right sides of an opening formed by multiple side-by-side warp yarns that run in one direction at a prescribed speed and are repeatedly inserted into the opening toward center of a weaving width and withdrawn, a single fill yarn conveyor selectively gripped by the ends of the first or second fill yarn-holding conveyor rod, a first and second rod operating units which cause the first and the second fill yarn-holding conveyor rods to be inserted into the opening in a synchronized state and to be withdrawn from the opening, and a first and second fill yarn conveyor gripping and releasing units which are fixed to opposite ends of the first and the second fill yarn-holding conveyor rods and alternately repeat operations of gripping, releasing, and delivering the fill yarn conveyor.

Abstract: The loom comprises: a first and a second fill yarn-holding conveyor rods (14,15), which are disposed to the left and the right of an opening formed by multiple side-by-side warp yarns (Wa) that run in one direction at a prescribed speed and which rods are repeatedly and simultaneously inserted into the opening toward the center of the weaving width and withdrawn; and a single fill yarn conveyor (16) that is selectively gripped by the ends of the rods that face same and is alternately held and conveyed by the first or second fill yarn-holding conveyor rod (14,15). By operating a first and a second rod-operating units (19,20), a first and a second gripping/releasing parts (17,18) are operated via the first and the second fill yarn-holding conveyor rods (14,15) to alternately transfer the fill yarn conveyor (16) at the center of the weaving width, and after the transfer, are shuttled between the entrance of the opening and the center of the weaving width.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a production apparatus for a hollow fiber membrane module without a risk of deteriorating characteristics of the hollow fiber membranes to be used, with the module case and the hollow fiber membranes bonded and fixed with a potting resin in a highly fluid-tight or airtight manner, and a production method thereof. A centrifugal type production apparatus (1) for the hollow fiber membrane module, for bonding and fixing at least one end part of the hollow fiber membrane stored in the module case and the module case with each other with the potting resin by utilizing a centrifugal force. The centrifugal force is applied by driving a centrifugal machine (11) while supporting an end part potting working part (3) of the hollow fiber membrane module (2) by a fixing jig (4).
