  • Patent number: 11460005
    Abstract: A condition monitoring system includes a vibration sensor for measuring a vibration waveform of a bearing in a wind turbine generation apparatus and a data processor for diagnosing abnormality of the bearing. In the data processor, an evaluation value computing unit time-sequentially computes an evaluation value that characterizes an effective value of vibration waveform data output from the vibration sensor within a certain time. A diagnosis unit diagnoses abnormality of the bearing based on transition of temporal change of the evaluation value. The evaluation value computing unit computes the minimum value of the effective values of vibration waveform data within a certain time, as the evaluation value.

  • Patent number: 11446576
    Abstract: A server system controls execution of a game where a plurality of characters including a player character operated by at least one player move in a game space. In the server system, a first movement control section performs a control to provide a predetermined identification display on the track of movement of the first character. A second movement control section changes a display mode of the identification display when a second character that is the same as the first character or is different from the first character has moved through a position with the identification display in an overlapping manner.

  • Patent number: 11415663
    Abstract: The transmission unit generates a transmission signal obtained by multiplying a linearly FM-modulated pulse signal by a first window function. The pulse compression unit divides a signal, which is obtained by multiplying a first reference signal obtained by multiplying the pulse signal by a second window function different from the first window function, by a complex conjugate part of a second reference signal obtained by multiplying the pulse signal by a third window function, which is a function independent of the second window function, by a complex conjugate part of the transmission signal, and uses this as a reference signal. Then, the pulse compression unit performs pulse compression on the received signal using the reference signal.

  • Publication number: 20220198777
    Abstract: An image matching apparatus matching a first image against a second image includes an acquiring unit, a generating unit, and a determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires a frequency feature of the first image and a frequency feature of the second image. The generating unit synthesizes the frequency feature of the first image and the frequency feature of the second image, and generates a quantized synthesized frequency feature in which a value of an element is represented by a binary value or a ternary value. The determining unit calculates a score indicating a degree to which the quantized synthesized frequency feature is a square wave having a single period, and matches the first image against the second image based on the score.
