Abstract: An estimation unit of a visual object tracking apparatus estimates a plurality of estimated bounding boxes and estimated object IDs respectively corresponding to the estimated bounding boxes based on a plurality of predicted bounding boxes and a plurality of detected bounding boxes. For example, the “detected bounding boxes” are “bounding boxes (bounded areas)” detected by a detector in each of a plurality of frames in a time series such as moving images. The “bounding box” is a frame surrounding an image of an object detected in a frame. For example, the “predicted bounding box” is a “bounding box” predicted by a predictor based on an estimated bounding box(es) estimated for one or a plurality of frames in the past.

Abstract: In a brushless motor for use in a disk drive, a rotor is mounted onto a tube portion of a housing. A retaining claw is formed at an upper end of the tube portion. A turntable has a central concave portion which accommodates an upper portion of the tube portion of the housing. A retaining member is provided radially outside the central concave portion, and includes a plurality of retaining pieces extending to the inside of the central concave portion. When the rotor is mounted onto the housing, the retaining pieces come into contact with the retaining claw and then move upward.

Upward movement of the retaining pieces is restricted by contact between the retaining member and the turntable.

Abstract: A claw member includes at a radially inward surface thereof a protrusion inclined surface in order to minimize deformation occurring in an axial direction to an elastic member which is a coil spring. The protrusion inclined surface is preferably inclined, when a tip portion of the claw member is at an axially lowest point, to be substantially perpendicular to the central axis, or such that the further radially inward a portion thereof is the axially lower the portion is. By virtue of such configuration, the protrusion inclined surface minimizes deformation occurring to the elastic member in the axial direction.
