Method and system for optimizing the arrangement of a set of aircraft parts on a plate. The system includes a selection module which selects, from a set of data on the material of the set of parts and a set of geometric data associated with the set of parts, part grouping criteria including at least one optimized plate thickness value, an optimization module for optimizing the arrangement of the set of parts on a plate as a function of the part grouping criteria, cutting criteria and optimization criteria and a transmission module generating and transmitting, to a user system, optimization data representative of the optimization of the arrangement of the set of parts. The system makes it possible to take account of the parameters linked to the dimensions of the plate to optimize the arrangement of the set of parts.

A method includes providing a mission regarding image capturing to a user terminal having an image capture function, evaluating an image transmitted from the user terminal in response to the mission, and additionally providing a new mission regarding image capturing to the user terminal in a case where a level of achievement of the mission is determined to satisfy a criterion based on the evaluation.

According to one embodiment, an information collection system comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter emits a signal. The receiver receives the signal. The processor calculates a distance between the transmitter and the receiver from a strength of the signal received by the receiver. The processor calculating the distance between the transmitter and the receiver from the strength of the signal for each of the signals received during a first interval, and using an average distance as the distance between the transmitter and the receiver, the average distance being obtained by averaging the plurality of calculated distances.

A method for creating a segmented alignment rod, the method including receiving a request for a segmented alignment rod, receiving at least one image of a deformed spine, generating, a normal spinal curvature, and generating a segmented alignment rod design.

A vehicle system may include a memory of a vehicle configured to maintain at least one smart contract between a manufacturer of the vehicle and a supplier of components to the manufacturer, and a processor of the vehicle configured to receive at least one diagnostic code from the vehicle, the diagnostic code being associated with at least one vehicle component, in response to the code being identified by the processor as being associated with the at least one smart contract, update the at least one smart contract within the memory with the code, and transmit the smart contract, as updated, to a third party associated with the vehicle component.

A cloud computing system, which works in cooperation with a plurality of relay devices, is configured to receive measurement data transmitted from each of the relay devices arranged in respective bases and perform accumulation processing in a hierarchical structure of a logical tree form in a measurement database, and perform aggregation analysis processing on the measurement data subjected to the accumulation processing in the respective bases and for each integration target between the bases. The aggregation analysis processing is performed on the measurement data for the each integration target between the bases by recognizing a relationship between the bases under the same starting point on the basis of a measurement unit of a measurement value or a type of a measurement source as for the value in the source accumulated in the database as an ending point of the hierarchical structure.

Provided are a device and a method which enable easy analysis and evaluation of work efficiency of a worker without burdensome tasks and easy determination of a worker's skill level by comparing the worker's work efficiency status with that of another worker or a past record of the same worker, wherein analytical information is produced by estimating the worker's joint positions based on a video; acquiring time series data on joint positions; determining work efficiency based on the time series data; acquiring a target range (part of a work process with low work efficiency); output an image of the target range overlaid on a graph of the time series data; and output a posture image of the worker overlaid on the video. The analytical information may include information on a working activity to be analyzed and information on a chosen model working activity with high work efficiency.
