Abstract:
A degree of sporty driving, or degree of load on tires of a vehicle, is detected based on a usage degree of tire performance. A horizontal force exerted on a tire is calculated and estimated based on longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration. Then a ratio, of the horizontal force to a maximum limit gripping force of the tire, is determined to enable detection of the load on a tire at all times.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a decentralized control method for a corrugator line characterized by the fact that, in the control method for a corrugator line for the continuous production of corrugated boards including the process of bonding a liner to the corrugated medium so as manufacture a single-faced corrugated board, bonding another liner to this single-faced corrugated board so as to fabricate double-faced corrugated boards or sheets, cutting the boards into predetermined lengths, and the like and having a local control unit provided for each process unit which is set up by dividing the aforenoted series of production processes so as to achieve synchronized production control of the line by means of these unit-process local control units which are allotted different functions and which are linked into a multiplex transmission network. The cycle pulses (that is, the synchronization signal which serves as the production reference for each control unit) that are obtained, when the double-faced or double wall corrugated boards are cut into the required lengths, are used and supplied to the main control unit and each local control unit for the synchronized production control by means of the local control units.
Abstract:
[Object] It is an object to provide an injection method for injecting an electrolyte and an electrolyte injection apparatus which allow the electrolyte to be injected and filled into an electrode assembly within an outer can with favorable permeation, thereby easily manufacturing an electrolyte secondary battery having favorable cycle characteristics at good yield.[Solution] A solution injection nozzle 10 is inserted into a solution injection hole 101 of an outer can 100 in which an electrode assembly 110 is stored, and the solution injection hole 101 is hermetically sealed by a pressure reducing pad 11 provided so as to surround a periphery of the solution injection nozzle 10. An inside of the outer can 100 is made into a negative pressure through the pressure reducing pad 11, and an electrolyte L is supplied from the solution injection nozzle 10 into the outer can 100. The outer can 100 is rotated with the solution injection nozzle 10 as a rotation center.

Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes: a reducing section reducing an image for which a feature analysis is to be perform at a predetermined reduction ratio; an ROI mask generating section analyzing a feature of a reduced image as the image reduced at the predetermined reduction ratio, and generating an ROI mask as mask information indicating a region of interest as a region to be interested in the reduced image; an ROI mask enlarging section enlarging a size of the ROI mask to a size of the image before being reduced by the reducing section; and an ROI mask updating section analyzing a feature of a region, set as a blank region as a region not to be interested in the ROI mask, of the image before being reduced by the reducing section, and updating the ROI mask by using an analysis result.
Abstract:
Provided are fuel feed means 3, an air separation unit 6 air feed means 7, a combustion furnace 11 with a burner 9 for combustion, an exhaust gas line 14 for leading an exhaust gas from the combustion furnace 11 to outside of the combustion furnace 11, exhaust gas treatment means 20a and 20b included in the exhaust gas line 14, and a recirculation line 15 for circulating a portion of the exhaust gas at least exhaust gas treatment means 20a and 20b for recirculation of a portion of the exhaust gas at least dust-removed by the exhaust gas treatment means 20a and 20b to the burner. Further provided are exhaust gas capture means 18 for taking out carbon dioxide gas from a remaining non-recirculating exhaust gas, and carbon dioxide gas feed means 33, 40 and 46 for introducing carbon dioxide gas to equipments 10, 20a and 20b of the oxyfuel combustion boiler facility.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a first generating unit, a second generating unit, and an updating unit. The first generating unit generates a point spread function representing the degree of blurring generated in the input image. The second generating unit generates a plurality of corrected block images obtained by correcting blurring of structure components of plural input block images based on the point spread function. The updating unit executes one or more times an updating process to update the corrected block images, followed by making structure components of the updated corrected block images into new corrected block images.
