Abstract:
A power saving control device includes: an acquirer that acquires a power saving request; and a controller that determines whether or not power saving control for reducing a power consumption of a load device is to be performed in response to the power saving request, and that, when determining that the power saving control is to be performed, performs the power saving control. When the load device consumes power, the controller determines that the power saving control is not to be performed under a condition that no power flows from a power system into a facility in which the load device is installed, the condition being one of one or more conditions.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system includes a first node as a source node having a wireless communication function, a second node as a destination node having a wireless communication function, and one or more third nodes configured to relay wireless communication between the first node and the second node. While a communication path through which data is sent from the first node to the second node is not established, the first node and the one or more third nodes send data in broadcast. After determining a destination in at least a part of the communication path from the first node to the second node, a node out of the first node and the one or more third nodes which has the determined destination sends data to the determined destination in unicast.
Abstract:
A domestic animal information management system is provided with an imaging unit for acquiring image data of a predetermined area where a domestic animal to which identification information is attached can move; an identification information acquisition unit for acquiring the identification information for every domestic animal on the basis of the image data of the predetermined area; a position information acquisition unit for acquiring position information for every domestic animal on the basis of the image data of the predetermined area; and an information storage unit for storing the identification information and the position information in association with each other for every domestic animal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is effective in easily estimating an integer value bias at a high speed. A processor of a positioning system, a positioning method, and a positioning station performs interference positioning through calculation processing based on positioning data of the base station and positioning data of the positioning station. A plurality of calculation processing items are performed in parallel with different time points as start time points. Thus, even in a case where a situation in which the time required for the calculation of a fix solution differs depending on time point at which time point the calculation processing starts, there is a possibility that one of a plurality of calculation processing items can calculate the fix solution at an earlier time than in a case where single calculation processing performs the calculation. Therefore, it is possible to easily estimate the integer value bias at the high speed.
Abstract:
Deriver extracts, based on a power adjustment quantity provided from a power supply utility, a plurality of candidate combinations of power facilities that are candidates that achieve the power adjustment quantity from among a plurality of power facilities. Deriver derives a group of candidate combinations of power facilities that includes the plurality of candidate combinations of power facilities extracted. Selector selects a combination of power facilities that achieves the power adjustment quantity from among the group of candidate combinations of power facilities based on response information of each power facility in the past, the response information being information in response to a DR request.
Abstract:
This voice processing device is provided with: an utterer's position detection unit which specifies, as position microphones of an utterer, microphones that receive a voice signal of WuW on the basis of the characteristics of each voice signal for a prescribed time, when the WuW voice is detected, the voice signal being held in a voice signal buffer unit; and a CTC unit (one example of a voice processing unit) which outputs a voice uttered by the utterer and suppress a voice uttered by an occupant, who is not the utterer, by using the voice signal for the prescribed time, which is held in the voice signal buffer unit, and information relating to the utterer's position microphones.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object by alternate repetition of a powder-layer forming and a solidified-layer forming, the repetition comprising: (i) forming a solidified layer by irradiating a predetermined portion of a powder layer with a light beam, thereby allowing a sintering of the powder in the predetermined portion or a melting and subsequent solidification of the powder, and (ii) forming another solidified layer by newly forming a powder layer on the formed solidified layer, followed by an irradiation of a predetermined portion of the newly formed powder layer with the light beam, wherein a removal of a mobile foreign material is performed prior to at least one time-formation of the solidified layer, the mobile foreign material existing in an upper surface region of a latest formed solidified layer.
