A setting program is configured to cause a processor (11) to perform operations including a step of acquiring retrieval conditions used to set a time period with low water usage as an analysis time period for presence or absence of water leakage in a water purification management area (80), and at least one of a step of retrieving and displaying a candidate date that can be set as a special day with high water usage in the water purification management area (80) based on the retrieval conditions, and a step of retrieving and displaying a candidate time period that can be set as the analysis time period on a day other than the special day based on the retrieval conditions.

Provided is a method for decoding a picture (12) from a data stream, the method comprising: predicting a coding unit, CU, (10) of the picture (12) using intra block copy, IBC, by decoding (S10) a first syntax element from the data stream for the CU (10); responsive (S12) to the first syntax element having a first predetermined state, deriving a block vector, BV, (14) pointing to - a previously decoded portion (16) of the picture (12) relative to the CU (10) by decoding a first component of the BV (14) from the data stream and inferring a second component of the BV (14) to be zero, and deriving a predictor for the CU (10) by subjecting a version of the previously decoded portion (16) of the picture to flipping.

The present invention discloses an oil storage device for a compressor and a compressor having the same, comprising a counterweight directly or indirectly mounted on a crankshaft, wherein at least one of the counterweight and the crankshaft is provided with or connected to an oil storage structure, the oil storage structure is configured to store a certain amount of lubricating oil, so that during initial startup of a compressor, as the counterweight rotates, the lubricating oil in the oil storage structure can splash onto an orbiting scroll end plate or a thrust surface of the compressor. The present invention provides various oil storage device solutions, through which lubricating oil can be supplied immediately after the compressor is started up, effectively shortening the time for the compressor to receive lubrication from startup to the thrust surface, thereby avoiding wear caused during this period.

A light measurement device includes a control device capable of switching between a measurement mode and a calibration mode, an optical system including a light irradiator that is capable of moving and irradiates an object to be measured with irradiation light, and a light blocking device including a shutter capable of blocking the irradiation light and calibrating the light measurement device. In the measurement mode, the positions of the shutter and the optical system are adjusted so that the shutter does not block the irradiation light and a focusing position of the irradiation light coincides with the position of the object to be measured. In the calibration mode, the positions of the shutter and the optical system are adjusted so that the shutter blocks the irradiation light and the focusing position of the irradiation light coincides with the position of the reference material.

Brillouin gain spectra are measured at low cost. An optical fiber characteristic measurement apparatus 10 according to the present disclosure measures the characteristics of an optical fiber 1 by the Brillouin optical correlation domain reflectometry method. The optical fiber characteristic measurement apparatus 10 includes a local oscillator 122 that generates a sinusoidal electrical signal, a mixer 121 that receives Brillouin gain spectra resulting from Brillouin scattering in the optical fiber 1 and the sinusoidal electrical signal generated by the local oscillator 122 and outputs down-converted Brillouin gain spectra, and a frequency analyzer 123 that measures the down-converted Brillouin gain spectra.
