  • Publication number: 20230406546
    Abstract: Provided is a space vehicle that includes: a main body; a movable portion configured to reciprocate in an axial direction with respect to the main body; and a magnetic force generation unit attached to a distal end of the movable portion, and attracts, by a magnetic force, a platelike body attached to an object in outer space. The magnetic force generation unit includes: a magnet support member attached to a distal end of the movable portion via a buffer elastic body; and a plurality of permanent magnets laid on a surface of the magnet support member to form an attraction region. When a drive unit moves the movable portion away from the main body, the attraction region protrudes from the main body while maintaining a fixed orientation crossing the axial direction, and is changeable in position and/or orientation by the buffer elastic body when an external force is applied.

  • Patent number: 10613830
    Abstract: A data processing device according to one aspect of the present invention includes an extractor configured to extract time-series data indicating observed values at points in time in an analysis range from a first point in time to a second point in time, and a first calculator configured to calculate a gradient of a linear function indicating a trend of change in the observed values in the analysis range to minimize an objective function. The objective function indicates a sum of multiplication values at the points in time within the analysis range, the multiplication value is a numerical value obtained by multiplying a square of a difference between a function value of the linear function and the observed value by a weighting coefficient, and the weighting coefficient is a numerical value that increases as an elapsed time from the first point in time to each point in time increases.
