  • Publication number: 20230287804
    Abstract: A casing of the present disclosure includes a casing main body and a connecting flange. The casing main body covers an outer circumferential side of a rotor that rotates about an axis. The connecting flange extends from an outer circumferential portion of the casing main body toward die outer circumferential side, is provided along a circumferential direction around the axis and is connected to a member other than the connecting flange in an axial direction that is an extension direction of the axis. The connecting flange is cut out in an upper end portion or a horizontal end portion of the connecting flange.

  • Publication number: 20230008630
    Abstract: An object information acquisition unit acquires object information including an object distance between a radar device and a reflection object and an object azimuth angle at which the reflection object is located. A roadside object extraction unit extracts roadside object information on a roadside object from the object information. An axis deviation angle estimation unit estimates a vertical axis deviation angle from the roadside object information. The vertical axis deviation angle is an angle of deviation of an actual mounting direction from a reference mounting direction in a vertical direction. The actual mounting direction is an actual direction of the radar device, and the reference mounting direction is a direction of the radar device when the radar device is mounted in a reference state.

  • Patent number: 11136224
    Abstract: A lifting beam for suspending an object to be lifted in a vertical direction has a lower end surface extending in a longitudinal direction of the lifting beam on a vertical lower side in a state where the object is suspended. The lower end surface includes a first lower end portion, a second lower end portion positioned away from the first lower end portion to a first side in the longitudinal direction, and a third lower end portion positioned away from the first lower end portion to a second side in the longitudinal direction, on the opposite side of the first lower end portion from the second lower end portion. The second lower end portion is positioned higher than the first lower end portion, and the third lower end portion is positioned lower than the second lower end portion when the object is suspended from the lifting beam.
