  • Publication number: 20240070830
    Abstract: A radiation image processing apparatus for executing image processing on an image obtained by emitting radiation to an object, executes, in order to improve a contrast of the image, processing of extracting a low-frequency component of an input signal of the image to generate a first signal of the image, processing of dividing the input signal of the image by the first signal of the image to generate a second signal of the image, processing of executing non-linear processing on the second signal of the image to generate a third signal of the image, and processing of outputting an output signal of the image obtained by multiplying the input signal of the image by the third signal of the image.

  • Patent number: 11238741
    Abstract: A driving evaluation apparatus configured to evaluate level of safety driving by drivers belonging to any one of groups organized hierarchically, includes: microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor is configured to function as: a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire location information of the drivers from mobile terminals; an evaluation value calculation unit configured to calculate driving evaluation value based on the location information of the drivers; a driving evaluation unit configured to rank the plurality of drivers within a belonging group or rank the belonging group by comparing the belonging group with other groups regarding the level of safety driving based on the driving evaluation value; and an output unit configured to output a ranking result. The management information includes location information of speed management area for managing travel speeds of the mobile bodies and information of threshold for determining overspeed, settable by user.

  • Publication number: 20190143995
    Abstract: A content selection server according to the present invention includes: a reception unit configured to receive a current location of a vehicle; a storage unit which stores advisory information about one or more objects that exist on one or more roads and require attention on driving; a transmission unit configured to transmit information; and a control unit which can select a content to be played back. The control unit includes a driving concentration level setting unit configured to obtain a driving concentration level (STEP 31) and, based on the obtained driving concentration level, the current location of the vehicle (STEP 31), and the advisory information (STEPS 32 to 33), and selects at least one category of the content to be played back (STEP 34).

  • Patent number: 4891708
    Abstract: A pulse signal whose duty ratio differs for selected channels is coupled with the base of a first transistor as a switching transistor. The switching transistor is connected at the collector to a voltage source via a load resistor, and at the emitter to a reference potential point. An inverted pulse signal, which is derived from the collector of the first transistor, is rectified by a rectifying filter including a capacitor, and subsequently is applied to a tuning voltage terminal of an electronic tuner. A DC voltage proportional to an AFT voltage is applied to the base of a second transistor whose collector-emitter major current path is connected between a charge/discharge path of the capacitor and the reference potential point. A current flow through the major current path for a period of time, which differs for selected channels.
