Abstract
An estimation device (10) includes a data acquisition unit (131), a first smoothing processing unit (132), a second smoothing processing unit (133), a calculation unit (134), and an estimation unit (135). The data acquisition unit (131) acquires time-series data of a pupil diameter during work of a subject of work performance estimation. The first smoothing processing unit (132) smooths the acquired time-series data of the pupil diameter of the subject by a first time window. The second smoothing processing unit (133) smooths the time-series data of the pupil diameter by a second time window that is a time window larger than the first time window. The calculation unit (134) calculates a difference between the time-series data of the pupil diameter smoothed by the first time window and the time-series data of the pupil diameter smoothed by the second time window. The estimation unit (135) estimates the level of work performance of the subject on the basis of the calculated magnitude of the difference, and outputs a result of the estimation.

An object of the present invention is to provide a communication method, a transceiver, a relay, a communication system, and a program capable of performing high-speed communication even in a case where there is an obstacle between two separated points in water.
In this communication method, two points each confirm the other's position by using sound wave communication which is likely to be diffracted as a wave due to a relatively small frequency and a large wavelength. Since the communication method uses optical wireless communication in which straightness is high but high-speed communication is possible, a relay capable of forming a path for communication while avoiding an obstacle is selected from a plurality of relays. In this communication method, signals are transmitted and received by using optical wireless communication using a relay on the path.

For the aforementioned purpose, a correction device 30 carries out an iterative deepening depth-first search to thereby correct an inputted regular expression to a form that satisfies RWS1U (prohibits the same characters from appearing consecutively) by using the regular expression, a positive example, and a negative example, and then output the corrected regular expression. It is expected that this will make it possible to support development of a program that is safe against ReDoS in more scenarios.

When a CRAM error detection unit (12c) detects a one-bit soft error of a CRAM (12b), a failure management unit (16) performs control for coping with a failure in a downstream side communication device (14) with an error notification (ER1) as a trigger. A failure detection sensitivity of a failure detection unit (15) is temporarily increased compared to a steady state. Or an upstream side communication device (11) retransmits an original communication signal (SG1). Or a known test signal is transmitted from the upstream side communication device (11) before retransmission, and the failure is diagnosed on the downstream side, and then the test signal is retransmitted. Alternatively, a signal is processed by two communication paths to select a signal without an error, and an erroneous signal is discarded. When a failure is detected, a device is restarted. It is possible to find a failure in an early stage to prevent a silent failure or to shorten a time until recovery of service or to suppress an occurrence of a failure by taking measures with the detection of a CRAM error as a trigger.
