  • Publication number: 20210306802
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a position estimation device includes a first acquisition unit, a determination unit, and an estimation unit. The first acquisition unit acquires a first position of a moving body.

  • Patent number: 10843249
    Abstract: A machining apparatus includes a movement direction converting mechanism that converts lowering movement of a first punch into raising movement of a second punch and converts lowering movement of the second punch into raising movement of the first punch. The first punch and the second punch are raised and lowered in an alternating manner by this movement direction converting mechanism. Accordingly, machining by the first punch and machining by the second punch are performed individually.

  • Patent number: 10837641
    Abstract: The present invention provides a burner, a combustor equipped with the burner, and a gas turbine, with which it is possible to premix a first hydrocarbon-based fuel (for example, natural gas), a second fuel (for example, hydrogen gas), and combustion air, and to spray into the combustion chamber of the combustor a thin and uniform concentration distribution of the premixed air, and with which it is possible to suppress the amount of NOx discharged. On the upstream side of the premix flow path, hydrogen gas is sprayed from second fuel spray nozzles, which project into the premix flow path, into the flow of the combustion air flowing toward the center from the outer edge of an outer cylinder, whereby a primary air-fuel mixture having a uniform concentration distribution is generated without affecting a low-speed region of the combustion air.

  • Patent number: 10725109
    Abstract: A battery monitoring circuit for a portable device driven by a secondary battery that supplies an electric current via a wiring pattern formed on a substrate. The battery monitoring circuit includes: a current measuring circuit that measures a current value of a current that flows in the wiring pattern by monitoring an amount of voltage drop that occurs in a specific section of the wiring pattern; a converter that converts the current value into a digital measured current value; a first storage part that stores data for compensating a variation in a resistance value of the wiring pattern depending on an individual particularity of the substrate; and a calculating part configured to correct the digital measured current value by using the data to calculate a corrected current value and to calculate a remaining capacity or to monitor a state of the secondary battery based on the corrected current value.
