  • Patent number: 11938971
    Abstract: In a vehicle control device for an autonomous driving vehicle that autonomously travels based on an operation command, a gesture image of a person around the autonomous driving vehicle is acquired, and a stored reference gesture image is collated with the acquired gesture image. At this time, when it is discriminated that the gesture of the person around the autonomous driving vehicle is a gesture requesting the autonomous driving vehicle to stop, it is determined whether a disaster has occurred. When it is determined that the disaster has occurred, the autonomous driving vehicle is caused to stop around the person requesting the autonomous driving vehicle to stop.

  • Patent number: 11556853
    Abstract: There is provided a learning method. The method includes performing preprocessing on light emission data in a chamber of a plasma processing apparatus, setting a constraint for generating a regression equation representing a relationship between an etching rate of the plasma processing apparatus and the light emission data, selecting a learning target wavelength from the light emission data subjected to the preprocessing, and receiving selection of other sensor data different from the light emission data. The method further includes generating a regression equation based on the set constraint while using, as learning data, the selected wavelength, the received other sensor data, and the etching rate, and outputting the generated regression equation.

  • Patent number: 11414132
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a side sill having a closed cross-section portion, and a reinforcement body inside the closed cross-section portion and joined to the side sill. The reinforcement body comprises first and second reinforcement portions. The first reinforcement portion has a first bonding surface on the upper side and is joined to an inner wall of the closed cross-section portion at a portion other than the first bonding surface, and the second reinforcement portion has a second bonding surface facing the first bonding surface from above the first bonding surface, and is joined to the inner wall at a portion other than the second bonding surface. The first and second bonding surfaces are bonded together through a damping member made of an adhesive material. The first and second bonding surfaces are disposed at an inclination angle of 30 degrees or less with respect to a horizontal plane.
