  • Patent number: 11176408
    Abstract: A method which includes obtaining a plurality of images of tires that differ from one another in either one of or both of a tire type and a tire condition, the obtained images being regarded as teacher images; converting the teacher images into a size of a predetermined number of pixels; learning by a convolutional neural network using data of the plurality of converted teacher images as learning images, and setting parameters of the convolutional neural network; obtaining a tire image of a recognition-target tire and converting the obtained tire image into a size identical to that of the teacher images; and inputting the converted tire image of the recognition-target tire to the convolutional neural network and determining either one of or both of the type and the condition of the recognition-target tire.

  • Publication number: 20110176198
    Abstract: A plurality of cells are formed by a polygonal cell having even number of sides being at least six sides, and a plurality of cells being constructed by a polygonal shape as a unit are arranged in a display region regularly, so as to construct the dot matrix type information display panel. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dot matrix type information display panel: in which lines in a longitudinal and lateral directions are not so emphasized when an image information such as characters and so on which are displayed based on a line; in which a dot does not look in such a manner that a quadrangular shape collapses and an interference fringe (moire) is not generated as in the case of the honeycomb-shaped partition walls; and in which an image such as sharp and natural characters and so on which are displayed based on a line can be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20100156859
    Abstract: A display unit having a display memory property is constituted to be detachable from an attaching/detaching mechanism provided on a drive circuit substrate, so as to be attached to the attaching/detaching mechanism of the drive circuit substrate for rewrite of display information, and detached from the attaching/detaching mechanism of the drive circuit substrate after rewrite and moved to elsewhere while maintaining information displayed. Moreover, since it is constituted such that an actuation driver, having an expensive IC is mounted thereon, can be replaced rather than to be discarded or a drive circuit substrate can be replaced rather than to be discarded in a case where the display unit for displaying information such as an image causes a failure, it thereby achieves improvement of resource use efficiency by reusing the actuation driver having the expensive IC mounted thereon or the drive circuit substrate.
