Abstract

An input interface acquires a first distance image including a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels indicating a distance value from an image capture device to each point of an object. An image divider divides the first distance image into a plurality of pixel groups based on the distance values of the pixels, such that each of the plurality of pixel groups includes pixels having distance values falling within one of a plurality of distance intervals different from each other. A noise filter individually processes the plurality of pixel groups using a plurality of filter parameters different for the plurality of pixel groups, to reduce noises in the plurality of pixel groups. An image combiner combines the plurality of pixel groups processed by the noise filter, with each other, to generate a second distance image.

A battery includes a power generator and a covering body covering the power generator. The power generator includes a positive electrode layer, a negative electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer positioned between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. At least one selected from the group consisting of the positive electrode layer, the solid electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode layer contains a halogen-containing solid electrolyte. The covering body includes a base material layer, a resin layer, and a metal layer positioned between the base material layer and the resin layer. The resin layer is disposed so as to face the power generator and contains a halogen-containing polymer.

Abstract

An image display device includes a display, a light guide body, a controller, and a sensor. The light guide body includes an incident surface on which the light flux from the display is incident and an emission surface from which the light flux is emitted from the light guide body. The light flux incident on the incident surface of the light guide body is changed in a traveling direction in the light guide body, and is emitted from the emission surface so as to expand a visual field area by being replicated in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction of the virtual image visually recognized by the observer. The sensor that detects a physical quantity used to obtain a wavelength of the light flux. The controller controls a position and a shape of the image displayed by the display based on the physical quantity detected by the sensor.

Abstract

A plurality of recesses (15) is formed in a surface of first block (10), the surface facing second block (20). The plurality of recesses (15) are formed in a region different from a region in which laser element (40) is disposed when viewed from a direction in which first block (10) and second block (20) are stacked. Each of recesses (15) is provided with a spacer member (50) having insulation properties. Spacer member (50) partly protrudes from corresponding recess (15). Spacer member (50) is sandwiched between first block (10) and second block (20).

Abstract

An aerosol reachable area estimation system includes a detector that detects a voice and a controller that estimates an area reachable by aerosol released to a space where an utterer who has emitted the voice detected by the detector exists from a speech sound included in the voice on a basis of a correlation between the speech sound and a velocity vector of aerosol released from the utterer when the utterer utters the speech sound and a position and a direction of the utterer's mouth.

Abstract

A motor unit includes: a case; a motor housed in the case; an input shaft; an output body; and a speed reducer mechanism. The input shaft penetrates through the case in an axial direction and is arranged to be rotatable around an axis defining the axial direction. The output body is arranged in the case to be rotatable around the axis. The speed reducer mechanism is housed in the case and reduces a rotational speed of the motor and transmits rotational force with the rotational speed thus reduced to the output body. The speed reducer mechanism includes only one pair of gears meshing with each other.

Abstract

The time taken from an occurrence of an anomaly related to network connection to a change of a transmission path of a frame is shortened as compared with a conventional art. Communication system includes controller and a plurality of slaves each including third input and output port and fourth input and output port. Slave includes detector and slave transmission control part. Detector detects an anomaly related to connection of third input and output port and an anomaly related to connection of fourth input and output port. When detector detects the anomaly, slave transmission control part attempts to transmit a disconnection node notification frame indicating that a change in a connection state is detected from third input and output port and fourth input and output port. The controller changes the transmission path of the normal frame in a case of receiving the disconnection node notification frame.
