  • Publication number: 20240112450
    Abstract: An information processing device of the present invention is capable of collaboration with a learning device to determine whether an image group that has been obtained in time series by the first endoscope is an image group obtained at a first time or at a second time, and to create a first inference model for image feature determination of images for the first endoscope by performing learning with results of having performed annotation on the image group that was obtained at the second time as training data, the information processing device comprising at least one or a plurality of classifying processors that classify image groups constituting training data candidates, within an image group from the first endoscope that has been newly acquired, or an image group from a second endoscope, using the image group that has been obtained at the first time, when the first inference model was created.

  • Patent number: 10308166
    Abstract: A vehicle comprises a head lamp which irradiates a head lamp irradiation region set in front of a vehicle body; an auxiliary lamp which irradiates an auxiliary lamp irradiation region set in front of the head lamp irradiation region; a bank state detecting section which detects a bank state of the vehicle body; and a lighting control section which lights the auxiliary lamp depending on the bank state, the lighting control section causes the auxiliary lamp to be lighted in a set lighting state when the bank state detecting section detects a predetermined set bank state, and the lighting control section causes the auxiliary lamp to be lighted in a preceding lighting state at luminosity lower than that of the set lighting state, when the bank state detecting section detects a preceding bank state which occurs before the vehicle body reaches the set bank state.

  • Patent number: 10035453
    Abstract: A vehicle which turns in a state in which a vehicle body is banked from an upright state to a first side in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle body, comprises a lamp which is attached to the vehicle body, and irradiates a lamp irradiation region set in front of the vehicle body; a detecting section which detects a change over time of a posture of the vehicle body while the vehicle is traveling; and a control section which controls the lamp in such a manner that the lamp irradiation region is changed based on the change over time of the posture of the vehicle body which is detected by the detecting section.

  • Patent number: 9188076
    Abstract: A fuel injection control system is provided. The fuel injection control system comprises a first injector and a second injector positioned upstream of the first injector; a memory section which contains a map for defining a correspondence between a running state of an engine and first and second fuel injection ratios; a fuel injection ratio setting section for setting the first fuel injection ratio as a first set value and the second fuel injection ratio as a second set value; and a fuel injection ratio compensation section for making compensation such that the first set value is greater than a value of the first fuel injection ratio derived from the map, when a condition in which the second fuel injection ratio read out from the map is greater in magnitude than a predetermined determination criterion is met.

  • Patent number: 8510021
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a determiner configured to determine whether or not a driver has performed a predetermined acceleration or deceleration operation; a detector configured to detect a value of at least one of a relative rotational position and relative rotational speed of an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft being positioned upstream of an engagement portion of driving power transmission members which are engaged with each other with a slack on a driving power transmission path, and the output shaft being positioned downstream of the engagement portion, and a controller configured to execute control for accelerating or decelerating the input shaft or the output shaft to reduce at least one of a contact speed and transmission torque of the driving power transmission members based on the value detected by the detector, if the determiner determines that the driver has performed the acceleration or deceleration operation.
