Abstract: A control apparatus includes a hardware processor that obtains information on volume of a sound in a conference room detected by a sound detection device that detects the sound in the conference room during a conference in the conference room, derives an index value that represents risk of information leakage due to sound leakage, based at least on the obtained information on the volume of the sound in the conference room, and causes an output device or an information terminal device installed in the conference room to issue an alert, if the index value is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A system for generating training image data for supervised machine learning for training a defect classifier to be applied to visual inspection. The system arranges a defect model arbitrarily selected from a storage storing defect models obtained by modeling shapes and optical characteristics of defects and an inspection target surface model arbitrarily selected from a storage storing inspection target surface models obtained by modeling shapes and optical characteristics of inspection target surfaces, in any space in which ray tracing is performed by ray tracing simulation software in which an illumination optical system, an image pickup optical system, and an imaging sensor including a plurality of pixels are modeled. The system further traces a plurality of light rays, calculates illuminance at each of the pixels based on an intensity and a number of light rays entering the pixels, and generates pseudo image data as training image data based on the illuminance.

Abstract: A biological condition diagnosis system includes, at least: an obtainer, a receiver, a preprocessor, a processor, and a diagnoser, for biological data. The obtainer obtains the biological data by a reflective photoelectric plethysmography sensor. The preprocessor optimally preprocesses the obtained biological data. The processor extracts a feature point from the preprocessed data. The diagnoser diagnoses a biological condition using machine learning, based on the extracted biological data.
