  • Publication number: 20240404385
    Abstract: A warning system includes an information acquisition unit, a risk degree calculation unit and an alarm. The information acquisition unit acquires a heart rate and an acceleration, which are items of biological information pertaining to a monitored person, as well as temperature and humidity, which are items of environment information pertaining to surroundings of the monitored person. The risk degree calculation unit calculates a degree of risk relating to heatstroke in the monitored person based on the heart rate, acceleration, temperature, and humidity. The alarm issues a warning based on an extent of the calculated degree of risk. The alarm modifies a scope of the warning according to the extent of the degree of risk.

  • Publication number: 20240369494
    Abstract: In a coating evaluation device and a coating evaluation method, information on a coating is acquired. The information on a coating includes material information representing a material of a coating surface, and at least one of shape information representing a curved shape of the coating surface, and surface roughness information representing a surface roughness of the coating surface. An evaluation value that corresponds to a combination of the material information, the shape information, and the surface roughness information is estimated by using an evaluation model that outputs a brilliance evaluation value pertaining to the coating surface in response to an input including the material information, the shape information, and the surface roughness information.
