Abstract: A purely-lateral position estimation unit (1603) estimates as an estimated purely-lateral position, when a disturbance wave to disturb communication performed in a train is generated while the train is traveling, a position existing in a purely-lateral direction with respect to a position of a generation source of the disturbance wave. A feature extraction unit (1604) extracts a feature of a measured reception power value being a reception power value measured in the train during a disturbance wave generation period wherein the disturbance wave has been generated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dental material containing nanofibers and a biocompatible resin. In one embodiment, this dental material is an implant material, prosthetic material, or denture material and has mechanical strength suited to the site of use in the body as well as exceptional dimensional stability and exceptional wear resistance. Because the compressive strength can be controlled, excessive burden on the teeth when occlusal force is applied is suppressed when the dental material is used in the oral cavity. In addition, secondary caries can be suppressed because the antimicrobial properties make plaque less likely to adhere to the teeth and make the teeth less likely to be affected by bacteria. This dental material can be used without modification as a desired dental material, and can also be made into a desired dental material by molding as needed. In addition, materials produced from these nanofibers and this resin can also be used in applications other than dental materials.

Abstract: To provide a drive device rigid enough to endure a stress due to a reaction during driving of an arm unit, and to provide a conveyance device including the same. A drive device includes a frame and an actuator installed in the frame. The frame is formed by integral molding by casting. The frame includes a connecting portion connectable to a division wall of a conveyance chamber, a bottom plate portion serving as an opposed portion provided to be opposed to the connecting portion, and a plurality of coupling portions that couple the connecting portion and the bottom plate portion to each other. The actuator includes three coaxial shafts (two rotating shafts and single turning shaft), three motors, and a transmission mechanism that transmits a rotational driving force by the three motors to the three shafts. The frame is formed by the integral molding, and hence it is possible to realize a drive device having a high rigidity.
