  • Publication number: 20230274443
    Abstract: An estimation device and an estimation method are capable of detecting whether or not gas is flowing in a distal-proximal direction from a viewpoint even in a case where gas monitoring is performed on the basis of only an image from one viewpoint. The gas migration estimation device includes: an image input unit that receives, as an input, a gas distribution moving image in which a presence range of gas leaked into a space is indicated as a gas region; and a gas migration estimation unit that estimates a migration state of gas in a distal-proximal direction corresponding to the gas distribution moving image received by the image acquisition unit, by using an estimation model that is machine-learned using a combination of a training gas distribution moving image and a migration state of gas in a distal-proximal direction in the training gas distribution moving image as training data.

  • Patent number: 11668386
    Abstract: A pulley structure may be equipped with an outer rotating body, an inner rotating body, and a coil spring provided between the outer rotating body and the inner rotating body. The coil spring is configured so as to undergo torsional deformation in a diameter-expanding or a diameter-contracting direction, thereby engaging the outer rotating body and the inner rotating body and transmitting torque, and to undergo torsional deformation in the direction opposite the direction in which torque is transmitted, thereby entering a disengaged state in which the coil spring slides with the outer rotating body or the inner rotating body, thus interrupting the transmission of torque. The number of windings of the coil spring is in a range between [M-0.125] and M (both inclusive), where M is a natural number.
