  • Patent number: 11964351
    Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of suitably determining screw fastening failure. A screw fastening failure determination device (10) includes: a speed acquisition unit (13) which acquires an axial speed of a screw driver or a speed feature value relating to the speed; and a failure determination unit (14) which determines, in a temporary seating process, that a screw fastening has failed on the basis of the axial speed or the speed feature value at a prescribed timing.

  • Patent number: 11962329
    Abstract: The technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a decoding device, a decoding method, and a program enabling encoding with favorable transmission efficiency with a controlled running disparity. A calculation section divides inputted data into N or M bits to calculate a first running disparity of an N or M bit data string. A determination section determines whether the data string is inverted based on the first running disparity calculated by the calculation section and a second running disparity calculated therebefore. An addition section inverts or non-inverts the data string based on a determination result by the determination section to add a flag indicating the determination result for outputting. The determination section determines not to perform inversion when the data string is a control code. The addition section adds the flag assigned to the control code. The technology is applicable to a device communicating in an SLVS-EC specification.
