This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118626 titled 'DETERMINATION METHOD, DETERMINATION APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ARTICLE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for determining abnormalities in a conveyance unit by measuring relative positions between members at different measurement positions.

* Measurement of first relative positions between members and a conveyance unit at multiple measurement positions.
* Measurement of second relative positions between members and the conveyance unit at the same measurement positions after the conveyance unit moves.
* Determination of abnormalities in the conveyance unit and the floor at one measurement position based on the measurement results.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in industries where precise positioning and movement of conveyance units are critical, such as manufacturing, logistics, and transportation.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in detecting abnormalities in conveyance units and floors, ensuring safety and efficiency in operations.

== Benefits ==
The method provides a reliable way to identify issues in conveyance units and floors, allowing for timely maintenance and preventing potential accidents or disruptions in operations.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles, and robotic systems used in various industries.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be similar methods used in quality control systems for detecting abnormalities in moving parts or machinery.

=== What are the specific measurement positions used in this method? ===
The specific measurement positions where the first and second relative positions are measured are not specified in the abstract.

=== How does the method differentiate between abnormalities in the conveyance unit and the floor? ===
The method likely uses different criteria or thresholds to determine abnormalities in the conveyance unit compared to abnormalities in the floor, based on the measurement results from the first and second measurements.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a determination method includes measuring first relative positions as a first measurement, measuring second relative positions as a second measurement, and determining presence or absence of an abnormality. the first relative positions are relative positions between members corresponding to a plurality of respective measurement positions and a conveyance unit when the conveyance unit moves to the plurality of respective measurement positions. the second relative positions are the relative positions between the members corresponding to the plurality of respective measurement positions and the conveyance unit when the conveyance unit moves to the plurality of respective measurement positions after the first measurement. presence or absence of an abnormality in the conveyance unit and presence or absence of an abnormality in a floor at one measurement position of the plurality of respective measurement positions is determined based on measurement results of the first and second measurements.
