  • Publication number: 20240154694
    Abstract: Provided is a concealment signal generation unit that acquires learning constellation data and identification constellation data output from a signal processing circuit for optical communication, reduces and conceals the number of pieces of data from each of the pieces of constellation data through random projection, and generates a learning concealment signal and an identification concealment signal based on each piece of constellation data after the reduction and concealment of the number of pieces of data. Provided are a sparse dictionary learning unit that learns a concealment sparse dictionary using a sparse dictionary learning algorithm based on the learning concealment signal; and an identification unit that estimates a state of the optical communication using the concealment sparse dictionary based on the identification concealment signal.

  • Patent number: 11452256
    Abstract: An auto guide vehicle (20) that conveys a cart (10), wherein the auto guide vehicle (20) is provided with: a fluid pressure cylinder (22) that is able to be extended and retracted vertically, and that applies an upward pressing force to the floor surface of the cart (10); a fluid pressure supply device (70) that supplies a fluid to the fluid pressure cylinder (22); pressure regulating means (50) that regulates the fluid pressure of the fluid supplied from the fluid pressure supply device (70) to the fluid pressure cylinder (22); a control board (40) that outputs a fluid pressure command value to the pressure regulating means (50); and a pressure sensor (100) that detects the fluid pressure of the fluid supplied to the fluid pressure cylinder (22); wherein the control board (40) computes derivatives of the fluid pressure detected by the pressure sensor (100), estimates a timing at which the cart begins to leave the ground based on a pattern of the computed derivatives, and computes the command value by multipl

  • Patent number: 3982820
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device comprising a pair of transparent substrates each provided with a transparent conductive film on the interior surface, boron nitride coating layers disposed on inner surfaces of the substrates and the conductive films, and a liquid crystal material interposed between the coating layers, the boron nitride layer being given preferred directions for aligning the molecules of the liquid crystal material. This structure increases the chemical stability and improves the alignment of the molecules of the liquid crystal material to a great extent.
