Abstract: A heart rate information concealed video transmission device includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter compresses an input video and transmits the compressed video to a network, and the receiver decodes a received compressed stream, and attempts heart rate estimation by rPPG and generation of a biometric identifier. In order to invalidate heart rate estimation by a biological information processor, a corrected video generator outputs a corrected video in which small temporal variation of the input video is suppressed.

Abstract: A video super-resolution device includes a down-sampler, video super-resolvers, and a selecting/averaging unit. The down-sampler divides an input low-resolution video into a plurality of frame rates. The video super-resolvers are video super-resolvers trained at different frame rates, and perform super-resolution of the low-resolution video. The selecting/averaging unit selects a video super-resolver according to the magnitude of an optical flow obtained as a result of video super-resolution. Specifically, in a case where the optical flow has a value smaller than 0.5 pixels, the selecting/averaging unit makes selection such as not adopting a result of video super-resolution at a high frame rate. Finally, the selecting/averaging unit obtains a mean value of the selected video super-resolution result, and outputs a final high-resolution video.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an antenna device that includes a metal plate having a slit, a first coil, and a second coil disposed inside an opening of the first coil and connected to the first coil.

Abstract: In a linear actuator, a slide table is attached to a cylinder body via a guide mechanism so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder body. The slide table includes a table body arranged above the cylinder body and extending in the longitudinal direction, and an end plate joined to an end of the table body in the longitudinal direction so as to be substantially orthogonal to the table body. The end plate includes a storage chamber provided on one surface thereof in the longitudinal direction facing a guide mechanism and depressed from the one surface in a direction away from the guide mechanism. For example, when the linear actuator is used in an environment where powder dust and the like is scattered, the storage chamber stores therein a solidified matter made up of the powder dust and the like.

Abstract: A cylinder guide mechanism includes a floating bush, a holding part that holds the floating bush, and a linear guide. When a working fluid is supplied in a tube and a piston rod moves back and forth, the floating bush and a guide member of the linear guide move back and forth in the same direction. At this time, a slider of the linear guide is displaced relative to the guide member by retaining the same position. The slider is connected to the tube via an L-bracket.
