  • Publication number: 20240203221
    Abstract: Provided is a monitoring system configured such that, even when there is a deviation of a shooting region of a camera, if the deviation is within an acceptable level, an accurate vehicle detection using a recognition model can be performed without readjusting parameters or re-training the model. Based on an image of a no-entry zone and a platform zone, a processor performs a first operation for detecting a person in the no-entry zone and a second operation for detecting a vehicle in the no-entry zone; and based on detection results, determines whether an alert needs to be issued. When there is a deviation of the shooting region of a camera, the processor performs a conversion operation for converting an image of a current shooting region to an image that would be captured by the camera with an original shooting region and uses the converted image for the two detection operations.

  • Publication number: 20240127021
    Abstract: An acquisition portion of a pretreatment control apparatus acquires identification information capable of identifying a treatment medium (step S1). A first transmission portion transmits a pretreatment instruction based on the identification information to a pretreatment device which performs a pretreatment with respect to the treatment medium (step S13). A second transmission portion transmits a transmission instruction for identified print data based on the identification information, to a storage device which stores print data (step S3). As a result, the pretreatment control apparatus can transmit the pretreatment instruction and the identified print data by acquiring a single piece of identification information. Therefore, the number of processing steps by the pretreatment control apparatus is fewer than when the pretreatment instruction and the identified print data are transmitted by acquiring different information.

  • Patent number: 11926159
    Abstract: A control portion makes a recording head perform flushing processing every time a flushing area that does not overlap a recording medium faces the recording head but makes the recording head perform no flushing processing when a flushing area that at least in a part of it overlaps a recording medium faces the recording head. The longer a non-flashing period between the previous and present sessions of flushing processing, the larger the control portion makes the amount of ink ejected by each of nozzles in the present session of flushing processing.

  • Patent number: 11858987
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to obtain two types of substantively homogeneous cancer stem cell populations which can be characterized using the cell surface marker Lgr5, and to provide cancer therapeutics using an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in these cancer stem cells by identifying said cell membrane molecule. A further objective is to provide, using an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in cancer stem cells, a reagent for detecting cancer stem cells, and a method for diagnosing and sorting cancer patients. The present inventors discovered that highly pure large intestine cancer stem cells (CSC) can be obtained in a large quantity, and identified the two types of conditions of large intestine CSCs distinguishable through Lgr5 expression. Moreover, the present inventors discovered that an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in said cancer stem cells can damage said cells.
