Abstract:
An optical waveguide circuit includes a first loss component for causing a diffraction loss of light propagating through an optical waveguide, and a second loss component provided at least one of before and after the first loss component, for causing a diffraction loss less than the diffraction loss in the first loss component to the light propagating through the optical waveguide. This enables the beam spot size of the lightwave launched into the first loss component to be magnified seemingly, and to reduce the radiation angle of the lightwave at the first loss component, thereby making it possible to reduce the excess loss involved in the propagation of the light through the optical waveguide.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of forming a coat on an inner surface of a bearing, in which a jig 13 is attached to a rotor 2 while holding four bearings 12 for example, so as to form those in a cylinder shape. Then, while the rotor 2 is rotated at a circumferential speed of 0.3 m/sec, a nozzle 8 for airless spraying is inserted into the rotor 2, so that the nozzle 8 injects a coating material 30 from the inside of the bearings 12 toward an inner surfaces of the bearings 12 to apply the coating material thereon. Because the coating material 30 is injected from the nozzle 8 without using compressed air, the fly amount of the coating material is made less as compared to air spray painting.
Abstract:
A sliding bearing includes a bearing alloy layer having a sliding surface and a resin surface layer formed on the sliding surface of the bearing alloy layer and containing polybenzimidazole and a solid lubricant. In manufacturing the sliding bearing, a resin surface layer composition is applied to a roughened surface of a bearing alloy layer. The resin surface layer composition contains polybenzimidazole and a solid lubricant. The resin surface layer composition is heated so as to be hardened to be formed into a resin surface layer.

A learning device includes a learning unit configured to learn a model using learning data stored in a data storage unit; a subsampling unit configured to determine whether to use the learning data corresponding to gradient information updated by an update unit based on the model, for learning of a next model after learning of one model based on a subsampling rate; first and second buffer unit configured to buffer learning data determined to be used for and data determined not to be used for learning of the next model and gradient information corresponding to the learning data, respectively, up to a volume determined in advance. The first buffer unit and the second buffer unit are configured to write the learning data and the gradient information into the data storage unit for each predetermined block when buffering the learning data and the gradient information up to the volume.

An apparatus and a method are disclosed, each of which applies a plurality of different spatial filters to one input image to generate a plurality of filtered images; calculates, for each of a plurality of pixels included in each of the plurality of filtered image, a score indicating a value determined by a difference from a corresponding one of a plurality of model groups, using the plurality of model groups that respectively correspond to the plurality of filtered images and each including one or more models having a parameter representing a target shape; calculates an integrated score indicating a result of integrating the scores of the respective plurality of pixels corresponding to each other over the plurality of filtered images; and determines an abnormality based on the integrated score.
Abstract:
A learning device is configured to perform learning of a decision tree. The learning device includes a gradient output unit and a branch score calculator. The gradient output unit is configured to output a cumulative sum of gradient information corresponding to each value of a feature amount of learning data. The branch score calculator is configured to calculate a branch score used for determining a branch condition for a node of the decision tree, from the cumulative sum without using a dividing circuit.
Abstract:
An information processing device inspects a target image that contains an image of an inspection target. The information processing device includes a pre-processor, a first calculator, a second calculator, and a determiner. The pre-processor is configured to perform pre-processing for comparing the target image with a reference image or a plurality of reference images. The first calculator is configured to define, in the target image, a region of interest (ROI) and surrounding regions that are adjacent to the ROI, and calculate a feature value of the ROI. The second calculator is configured to calculate an outlier from comparison with feature values of images corresponding to the ROI and the surrounding regions in the reference images. The outlier numerically indicates singularity of an image at the ROI. The determiner is configured to provide, based on the outlier, an indicator to be used for the inspection.
Abstract:
A transfer roll rotates to have a coating liquid in a coating liquid tank filled in recesses formed on a roll surface thereof and to have a surplus coating liquid scraped off by a doctor blade, and rotates contacting with a coating roll. Thereby, the coating liquid in the recesses of the transfer roll is transferred to the coating roll. Thereafter, while the transfer roll is moved upward, an arm is rotated counterclockwise whereby the coating roll is separated from the transfer roll. The arm is further rotated whereby the coating roll is moved along an inner surface of a half bearing fixed to a jig and the coating roll applies the coating liquid to the inner surface of the half bearing.
