  • Patent number: 10775164
    Abstract: A measurement system is for measuring positions of a plurality of subjects by using an ultrasonic testing sensor. The measurement system includes an ideal arcuate waveform creation unit configured to create, for each of the subjects, an ideal arcuate waveform of a measurement result of the ultrasonic testing sensor based on machining position information on the subject; a measurement arcuate waveform creation unit configured to create a measurement arcuate waveform based on the measurement result; a position estimation unit configured to collate the ideal arcuate waveform and the measurement arcuate waveform with each other to estimate a position of the subject from the measurement arcuate waveform determined to correspond to any ideal arcuate waveform; and an antiphase waveform addition unit configured to add, to the measurement arcuate waveform, a waveform in antiphase to the measurement arcuate waveform with which the position of the subject has been estimated.

  • Patent number: 10584675
    Abstract: Provided is an underwater floating-type ocean current power generation device whereby cyclical directional vibration of a floating body of the ocean current power generation device, caused by shadow moment, can be suppressed. An underwater floating type ocean current power generation device includes ocean current power generation device main bodies, each including a rotor of a power generator housed in a nacelle, and a structure. The rotor is configured to be driven by a rotary blade protruding outward from the nacelle. A twin drum floating body capable of floating underwater is constituted by the structure and the ocean current power generation device main bodies joined to the left and right of the structure. The underwater floating type ocean current power generation device is moored to an ocean floor by a mooring rope.
