Abstract: A position detection device configured to detect a position of a moving member that moves back and forth in a predetermined moving direction is provided with an exciting coil arranged to extend in the moving direction along the moving member, a detection coil that, by a magnetic field generated by the exciting coil, outputs a voltage corresponding to a position of a detection object portion moving together with the moving member within a predetermined detection range in the moving direction, and a calculation unit that determines the position of the moving member by calculation based on an output voltage of the detection coil. The detection object portion has a predetermined length in the moving direction, and a voltage is generated in the detection coil due to a difference in magnetic field intensity between a portion corresponding to the detection object portion and a portion not corresponding to the detection object portion.

Abstract: A position detection device detects a position of a moving member moving backward and forward in a predetermined moving direction. The position detection device includes an exciting coil disposed along the moving member and extending in the moving direction, a detection coil that outputs a voltage corresponding to a position of a detection target portion moving with the moving member by means of a magnetic field generated by the exciting coil within a predetermined detection range in the moving direction, and a calculation unit that calculates the position of the moving member by the output voltage of the detection coil. The detection coil includes a pair of coil elements whose output voltage changes according to the position of the moving member, and phases of the output voltages of the pair of coil elements during movement of the moving member within the detection range differ from each other.

Abstract: An information processing device according to one embodiment includes a first receiver, a second receiver, a first converter, a second converter, and a calculator. The first receiver receives input of first data belonging to a first modality. The second receiver receives input of second data belonging to a second modality that is different from the first modality. The first converter converts the first data into a first representation representing a point or a first area in a D-dimensional vector space (D is a natural number). The second converter converts the second data into a second representation representing a second area in the D-dimensional vector space. The calculator calculates similarity between the first data and the second data by using the first representation and the second representation.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a device includes a memory and processing circuitry. When time taken by a user to carry out first behavior is equal to or more than a first threshold, or when number of times the first behavior is repeated is equal to or more than a second threshold, the processing circuitry is configured to output first guidance to lead the user to first expected behavior that is behavior the user is expected to carry out subsequent to the first behavior. When the time taken to carry out the first behavior is less than the first threshold, or when the number of times the first behavior is repeated is less than the second threshold, the processing circuitry is configured to omit the first guidance to lead the user to the first expected behavior or outputs second guidance that is simpler than the first guidance.
