  • Patent number: 10275869
    Abstract: A first inspection result regarding a construction is obtained, the first inspection result including a usage condition and a locational and environmental condition of the construction and an inspection image. An image feature of the inspection image is obtained from the first inspection result, the image feature including a damage feature. One or more second inspection results corresponding to one of the image feature or a construction condition that includes at least one of the usage condition or the locational and environmental condition are retrieved. A display unit displays the retrieved one or more second inspection results. One or more specific inspection results that correspond to the other of the image feature or the construction condition are retrieved from among the retrieved one or more second inspection results. The display unit displays the one or more specific inspection results preferentially over the other inspection results among the second inspection results.

  • Patent number: 10250071
    Abstract: A magnetic core 47 to be housed in a coil bobbin 57 is split along a coil-axis intersecting direction Y into a plurality of split magnetic cores 47a, the coil-axis intersecting direction Y intersecting a coil axis direction X, and a clearance C extending along the coil axis direction X is provided between the plurality of split magnetic cores 47a. In each clearance C, a protrusion 51a protruding upward from a core base 51 is inserted and arranged to ensure sufficient rigidity. Providing the clearances C reduces the entire weight of the magnetic core 47 and also ensures a large coil width in the coil-axis intersecting direction Y. By ensuring a large coil width, alignment between a power-transmission-side coil 11 and a power-reception-side coil 13 becomes easier.

  • Patent number: 10221902
    Abstract: A temperature-sensitive fluid fan clutch device includes an oil reservoir chamber in a case supported by a rotating shaft that has a drive disk fixed thereto. Plural dams are provided outward of the drive disk, and oil circulating flow passages contiguously to the dams extend between a torque transmission chamber and the oil reservoir chamber. A valve opens and closes an oil circulation flow hole of the oil reservoir chamber due to a change in temperature of a temperature-sensitive body. An oil effective contact area in a torque transmission gap between a drive side and a driven side is varied to control rotation torque transmission from the drive side to the driven side. An oil collection valve member independently opens and closes at least one of the oil circulating flow passages. The temperature-sensitive fluid fan clutch device inhibits a cold “drag” phenomenon and reduces fan power loss and fuel consumption.

    Abstract: An inspection specifying unit specifies a member position that is a point and a type of damage that is a soundness determination target on the basis of building structure information. An inspection data analysis unit acquires the image data from an inspection data acquisition unit, analyzes the image data, and determines from the image data, whether or not there is damage of the type of damage specified as the inspection target, and the degree of damage in a case where there is the damage. A damage influence degree calculation unit calculates the degree of damage influence for each damage. A soundness determination unit determines the soundness of the entire building on the basis of the degree of damage influence for each damage. A soundness output unit outputs the soundness determined in to a display, a printer, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20180218534
    Abstract: An outer shape of an outline of a structure which is a creation target of a drawing is acquired from map information, and distance images of a plurality of portions including annex information indicating an imaging position and an imaging direction captured by dividing the structure by a plurality of times from a Time Of Flight (TOF) camera are acquired. A connection processing unit connects the acquired distance images of the plurality of portions with each other, by using the annex information on the distance images, however, connects the distance images so that the distance images correspond to the outer shape of the structure, by using the outer shape of the structure at the time of the connection. A drawing creation unit automatically creates a drawing of the structure from the distance images (three-dimensional information on the entire structure) connected with each other.

  • Publication number: 20180197006
    Abstract: Specifying information for specifying a surrounding inspection target which is an inspection target present in a predetermined range with respect to the imaging terminal is acquired from the imaging terminal. The surrounding inspection target is specified among the plurality of inspection targets on the basis of the specifying information. It is evaluated whether or not there is an image acquisition area in which acquisition of a new captured image is necessary for the surrounding inspection target on the basis of a result of accessing a database that stores maintenance and inspection information including at least a captured image for each of the plurality of inspection targets and referring to the maintenance and inspection information of the surrounding inspection target. Image acquisition area information indicating the image acquisition area in which the acquisition of a new captured image is evaluated to be necessary is output to the imaging terminal.
