Abstract: An object detection device of an object detection system includes an object detection determination unit including a bird candidate determination unit for determining, from an image acquired by imaging a moving object, whether or not the moving object is a specific detection subject (bird in this case), and a bird type/attitude estimation unit for estimating, based on a contour of the moving object determined to be the bird by the bird candidate determination unit and a WFM library storing contour shape information, which is a contour prepared for each of types of the specific detection subject (types of the bird in this case), a type of the moving object out of the types of the specific detection subject.

Abstract: An object detection apparatus is capable of estimating the size of a moving object easily based on images. An object detection apparatus (5) of an object detection system (1) includes an object detection/determination unit (7) configured to analyze a period of motion of the object based on the images to estimate a size of the object based on the period of motion of the object.

Abstract: An ultrasonic multiphase flowmeter, a flow rate measurement program and a multiphase flow rate measurement method using an ultrasonic wave that can measure the flow rate of a multiphase flow by detecting the position of an interface between phases by an operation processing of at least one of data on reflected ultrasonic wave and data on a flow velocity distribution are provided. The ultrasonic multiphase flowmeter functions to transmit/receive ultrasonic waves, calculate flow velocity distributions, determine interface positions, and calculate flow rates.

Abstract: To provide an ultrasonic multiphase flowmeter, an ultrasonic multiphase flow rate measurement program and a multiphase flow rate measurement method using an ultrasonic wave that can accurately measure the flow rate of a multiphase flow by detecting the position of an interface between phases by an operation processing of at least one of data on reflected ultrasonic wave and data on a flow velocity distribution.

Abstract: A small size gear pump having a disc-shaped case, inside which a flat cylindrical motor rotor chamber, a bearing chamber and a flat cylindrical gear chamber are arranged eccentrically from the bearing chamber and the rotor chamber, which are piled sequentially along an axial direction and are communicating to each other.

Abstract: A circular disc shape case 11 includes a motor rotor chamber 12, a bearing chamber 13 and a gear chamber 14 piled sequentially and being communicated with each other. A suction port 15 is connected to the motor rotor chamber 12, and a discharge port 16 is connected to the gear chamber 14, which communicate with outside respectively. A rotating shaft 18 having an end positioned in the motor rotor chamber 13 and the other end extending to the gear chamber 14. A rotor 22 is fixed around the rotation shaft 18 in the motor rotor chamber 13. A first bearing 19 is provided for supporting the end of the rotating shaft 18 in radial and thrust directions. A second bearing 20 is provided in the bearing chamber 13 for supporting an intermediate portion of the rotating shaft 18 in radial direction.

Abstract: A friction reducing ship reduces frictional resistance between the external hull plate 1 and water W by ejecting air A from the external hull plate 1 into water W to generate micro-bubbles B on the surface of the external hull plate 1. A structural feature of the ship is that micro-bubbles B are generated by creating a negative pressure region in the water W admitted in the water intake opening 2a, disposed below the waterline WL in the bow section 1a, so as to eject atmospheric air above the water into the water to generate micro-bubbles B, and discharging the micro-bubbles B together with water to the water discharge opening 2b provided in the bottom section 1b.

Abstract: A storing unit of a communication karaoke apparatus has a newly released music file storing area, an information file storing area, a necessary information file list storing area, and the like. Information files are used for displaying information such as concert information, and advertisements of stores and goods. The information files are displayed during an intermission of karaoke performances due to music-piece files. When a new release file is downloaded, a necessary information file list is simultaneously downloaded. Based on the necessary information file list, unnecessary information files are deleted from the information file storing area, and only necessary information files among the downloaded information files are written into the information file storing area. Accordingly, only necessary information files can be always stored.

Abstract: A karaoke network system includes a host computer and a plurality of karaoke stations connected to the host computer via a communication line. When a new karaoke station is added to the karaoke network system or when a system program to be used by each of the karaoke stations is upgraded, a new system program is distributed from the host computer to the specified karaoke stations, Each of the karaoke stations has a first storage device for storing the new system program received from the host computer, and a second storage device that stores a system program currently executed to operate each of the karaoke stations. After rebooting each of the karaoke stations and thereafter, each of the karaoke stations is operated with the newest system program.

Abstract: A host apparatus stores all of music-piece files and information files, and also stores lists information files (information file lists) required for a plurality of areas where communication karaoke apparatuses are located. When music-piece files are downloaded to a communication karaoke apparatus, information files are simultaneously downloaded. Information files required for the area are determined based on the area where the communication karaoke apparatus is located, and only the necessary information files are downloaded together with the music-piece files. As a result, the operation efficiency and the communication efficiency can be enhanced. At this time, a list of information files stored in the communication karaoke apparatus is requested, and only difference information files are downloaded so that the efficiencies can be further enhanced.
