  • Patent number: 10696326
    Abstract: The steering angles of front wheels 3f and rear wheels 3r of a vehicle 1 can be respectively controlled by a front wheel steering angle control actuator 35 and a rear wheel steering angle control actuator 44. If a steering wheel 20 is operated in a turning direction of the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is traveling in a straight line, then a controller 60 changes the steering angle of the front wheels 3f to approach to a steering angle specified on the basis of an operation amount after the steering wheel 20 is operated, and also controls the front wheel steering angle control actuator 35 and the rear wheel steering angle control actuator 44 to change the steering angles of the rear wheels 3r to the opposite direction of the turning direction of the vehicle 1 immediately after the steering wheel 20 is operated.

  • Publication number: 20200159784
    Abstract: An infringement detection apparatus is an information processing apparatus. The infringement detection apparatus stores, in a storage unit, a similarity/dissimilarity determination model produced through machine learning based on a plurality of cases showing determination on similarity/dissimilarity of marks. The infringement detection apparatus acknowledges an input of a second mark that should be compared with a first mark that is a subject of determination. The infringement detection apparatus determines similarity/dissimilarity between the first mark and the second mark by using the similarity/dissimilarity determination model stored in the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 10529068
    Abstract: In an ultrasonic inspection performed on an inspection object including a fine and multi-layer structure such as a semiconductor wafer and a MEMS wafer, a defect is detected by: separating a defect present inside from a normal pattern; obtaining an image of the inspection object by imaging the inspection object having a pattern formed thereon to enable a highly sensitive detection; generating a reference image that does not include a defect from the obtained image of the inspection object; generating a multi-value mask for masking a non-defective pixel from the obtained image of the inspection object; calculating a defect accuracy by matching the brightness of the image of the inspection object and the reference image; and comparing the calculated defect accuracy with the generated multi-value mask.

  • Patent number: 10122469
    Abstract: A connector which serves as an optical transmitter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a transmitting circuit configured to convert a data signal into an electric current signal, the data signal being a three-valued; and an LD configured to convert the electric current signal into an optical signal. The transmitting circuit detects, as an IDLE interval, an interval during which the data signal falls within a predetermined range that is between a high level and a low level. The transmitting circuit controls, during the IDLE interval, the electric current signal to be not greater than a threshold electric current of the LD.
