Abstract: A fish species estimating system may include an acquiring module and a reasoning module. The acquiring module may acquire a data set at least including echo data generated from a reflected wave of an ultrasonic wave emitted underwater. The reasoning module may estimate a fish species of a fish image included in the echo data of the data set acquired by the acquiring module, by using a learned model created by machine learning where the data set is used as input data and the fish species is used as teacher data.

Abstract: A CFRP core including a CFRP layer has a primary through hole. An adhesive member coats a wall surface of the primary through hole, and has a secondary through hole extending within the primary through hole. An electrically conductive layer is formed on a wall surface of the secondary through hole for electrically connecting upper and lower signal interconnections via the secondary through hole. A coating layer coats an outer peripheral edge of the CFRP core as seen in a plan view. Thereby, a printed interconnection board with low thermal expansivity and high thermal conductivity capable of preventing exfoliation of a CFRP layer on a side surface of a substrate using CFRP as a core, as well as preventing falling-off of carbon powders from the CFRP layer, and a method of manufacturing the same can be obtained.

Abstract: Although an Ag—CdO-based material has excellent electric properties such as deposition resistance, arc resistance and low contact resistance, which are required for an electric contact, the discharge standard provision in Japan, EC Directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and the like have been directed toward disuse of Cd, as already known. Thus, the present invention is characterized in that after an atmosphere in a pressured oxidation furnace is replaced with oxygen, the temperature of an internal-oxidative Ag alloy prepared under a condition of a cold roll rate of 50 to 95% is gradually raised from a temperature of 200° C. or less in a pressured oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen pressure of 5 to 50 kg/cm2 and internal oxidation processing is performed with an upper limit temperature of 700° C.

Abstract: A carrier phase-based relative positioning apparatus comprises a plurality of antennas of which at least one is installed on a mobile unit. The apparatus determines the position of each antenna other than one antenna used as a reference antenna relative to the reference antenna by receiving radio signals transmitted from a plurality of position-fixing satellites with the multiple antennas, observing a single difference phase or a double difference phase, and calculating an integer ambiguity of the single difference phase or the double difference phase. The apparatus judges that the integer ambiguity has been incorrectly determined if the position of any of the antennas relative to the reference antenna (or the angle of a flat plane formed by those two antennas) falls out of a preset range in which the relative position (the angle of the flat plane) falls under normal conditions.

Abstract: A system for determining the heading and/or attitude of a body receives radio waves from a plurality of position-fixing satellites using at least three antennas fixedly mounted at different positions of the body. To reliably obtain integer ambiguity solutions of carrier phases of the radio waves in a shorter time, the system directly determines integer ambiguities from attitude angle data obtained by an IMU attitude processing section when the integer ambiguities are to be redetermined in the event of an interruption of the received radio waves or a change in the combination of satellites to be used. This system provides a user with highly accurate uninterrupted heading and/or attitude angle information.

Abstract: An electric contact with a base metal used as a switch wherein the non-welded peripheral portion of the contact is prevented from bow-like bending and from peeling off. The electric contact with a base metal having a contact promoting shape is formed by die forging of a contact material joined to the base metal by resistance welding. The composite contact material is prepared by coating the core material of Ag-oxide contact material with non-oxide contact material. The side of the material in contact with the base metal is of non-oxide contact material. The contact material may be pressed to fill a groove preformed in the base metal, welded to protrusions preformed in the base metal, welded to the bottom of a cut preformed in the base metal, or welded to bottoms of recesses preformed in the base metal.
