Abstract

The present disclosure addresses the problem of improving detection accuracy. A detection system (1) comprises a first generation unit (233), a second generation unit (234), a detection unit (235), and an adjustment unit (236). The first generation unit (233) performs signal processing on an output signal of an infrared sensor (3) to generate a first thermal image which has a plurality of pixels corresponding to a plurality of detection units (31) and in which pixel values are temperatures. The second generation unit (234) generates, on the basis of the first thermal image, a second thermal image that is a background thermal image corresponding to a state in which no person is present in a detection area. The detection unit (235) compares a plurality of corresponding pixels between the second thermal image and a third thermal image, which is a first thermal image to be subjected to determination as to whether a person is present in the detection area, and determines that a person is present in the detection area when there is a specific pixel at which the temperature of the third thermal image is higher than that of the second thermal image by a threshold temperature or more. The adjustment unit (236) adjusts, on the basis of the first thermal image, a threshold temperature for each of the plurality of pixels.

Abstract

A data acquiring unit 111 acquires time-series battery data including the voltage and current of a secondary battery included in a battery pack. A DC resistance calculating unit 112 calculates the DC resistance of the secondary battery from the ratio between a voltage change and a current change when a current change of a certain value or more occurs within a predetermined time. A DC resistance selecting unit 113 narrows down the calculated DC resistances using a predetermined condition and selects valid DC resistances. A representative value calculating unit 114 classifies the selected DC resistances in accordance with the level of a factor defined by conditions when the voltage and current used for calculating the DC resistance were measured, and calculates a representative value of the DC resistance for each level. A map generating unit 115 generates a DC resistance map by plotting the representative values of the DC resistance calculated for each factor level.

Abstract

In a radio wave emitting device of the present disclosure, the controller switches an operation of the device from a normal operation to a protection operation when, during execution of the normal operation, protection is necessary for at least one of signal amplifiers based on one or both of temperature measurement values and reflected-wave power measurement values. The normal operation includes setting an electric power target value for a radio wave to a normal target value for radio wave emitters. The protection operation includes setting the electric power target value for the radio wave to a protection target value for radio wave emitters. For one or both of a protection target radio wave emitter and a radio wave emitter other than the protection target radio wave emitter, the protection target value is lower than the normal target value. The protection target value is set so that a power consumption distribution in a cavity when executing the protection operation is closer to that when executing the normal operation than that when only the electric power target value of the protection target radio wave emitter is set to the protection target value.

Abstract

A machining-state-estimating device includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores criterion reference data corresponding to a parameter that defines a machining state of a pressing machine and zone shape information. The zone shape information defines a zone length and a retreating amount. The zone length indicates a length of each of at least one zone representing a punched contour by the pressing machine. The retreating amount indicates a dimensional change of the punched contour from a predetermined position in each of the at least one zone. The processor acquires measurement data indicating a measurement result of a machining load of machining performed by the pressing machine, and generates comprehensive reference data regarding the machining load based on the criterion reference data and the zone shape information. The processor determines a similarity degree that is an index of a degree of similarity between the comprehensive reference data and the measurement data, and estimates a machining state in each of the at least one zone based on the similarity degree determined.
