A predicted-failure-evidence diagnosing section for equipment that does not depend on the equipment and does not require knowledge of the equipment is provided. On the basis of a result of a predicted-abnormality-evidence diagnosis carried out by this section on time-series data gathered from the equipment, an allowable error used for compressing the gathered data can be set and managed in order to compress the data if the result of the diagnosis is normal or to restrict the compression of the data during a period in which an evidence of a predicted abnormality is detected. Thus, the amount of data stored in a memory can be reduced.

Time-series data diagnosing/compressing method

A wireless communication system includes a wireless communication apparatus (fixed terminal) resided in a fixed station side providing a wireless antenna, a wireless communication unit, a server processing unit, a task list, a data communication unit, a buffer management unit and a buffer, and a wireless data transport apparatus (mobile terminal) resided in a mobile station side providing the wireless antenna, the wireless communication unit, a server determination unit, a task list I/O unit, the task list, a client processing unit and the buffer, thereby, the mobile terminal receives the task list from the fixed terminal to communicate data with another fixed terminal and transports not only the data but also a data acknowledgement, and the fixed terminal creates the acknowledgement to use the acknowledgement to thereby control a creation and deletion of bulk data appropriately.

Wireless data transport apparatus and wireless data transport system

The invention contemplates to improve versatility or flexibility of a system for managing a controller. In a data format converter, a computer constitutes reception unit for acquiring input information containing a program, etc, of a first data format and outputted from a programmer unit, direction extract unit for extracting a convert direction of a data format contained in the input information so acquired, data conversion rule acquisition unit for acquiring a conversion rule of a data format corresponding to the convert direction so extracted and convert execution means for converting the program, etc, of the first data format to a second data format. The program, etc, of the second data format converted is outputted to the controller. The program, etc, can be created in this way in an arbitrary data format different from the data format of the controller.

Data format conversion method and equipment, and controller management system using data format conversion equipment

In a sensor network system comprising a sensor terminal and a management server, the sensor terminal transmits observation data acquired using the sensor, the management server has a latest data storage manager which manages the latest observation data among observation data received from the sensor terminal, a history data storage manager which manages the history of the observation data from any time when data was received from the sensor terminal to the latest observation data, and a missing data manager which manages missing history data, and compensates the missing history data based on a predetermined rule, and when a request for such observation data is received, at least one of the latest observation data managed by the latest data storage manager, and history data wherein the missing data has been compensated and managed by the history data storage manager, is output according to the type of request.

Sensor network system for managing the latest data and history data

A plural-data transmission Start message is transmitted prior to transmission of plural data to an intermittent operation type wireless communications terminal, and when transmission of plural data is completed, a plural-data transmission End message is transmitted. The terminal which received the plural-data transmission Start message can change over the sleep period of the aforesaid intermittent operation to a shorter sleep period. Thereby, an improvement in the response performance in the case of plural-data delivery can be simultaneously obtained while maintaining the low power performance of a sensor node.

Sensor network system and sensor node

A security system with processing optimized for monitoring the actions of a surveillance subject and detecting abnormal actions. The action record of an individual is monitored using a sensor network security system SNS, and the development of an action event is reported as an action, and the corresponding processing of the security system SCS is determined based on this action.

A disk-storing disk may include multiple supporting members for supporting disks and being stacked in the axial direction; a supporting member selecting mechanism for moving a supporting member to a selecting position; a driving unit having a rotational driving unit for clamping and rotating a disk held by the supporting member at the selecting position; a transporting mechanism for transporting a disk inserted from an insertion opening of the casing to the selected supporting member at the selecting position; and a restriction guide member having a restriction face and being turnably supported between a guiding attitude and a non-acting attitude; wherein, when a disk is transported toward a supporting member at the selecting position by the transporting mechanism, the restriction guide member turns to the guide attitude, and when the supporting member is moved by the supporting member selecting mechanism, the restriction guide member turns to the non-acting attitude.

Disk-storing disk device with restricting mechanism

A pad type input device is provided. The pad type input device includes an operation surface which includes a scroll area operated by an operation body. A detector is operative to detect a touch position of the operation body placed on the operation surface as positional information on a coordinate plane. A data processor is operative to acquire an operation signal obtained by the detector to perform a predetermined process. The data processor outputs a scroll signal that moves display contents in a predetermined scroll direction when the operation body placed on the scroll area is in a stop state where the operation body does not move, even after a predetermined time elapses.

Pad type input device and scroll controlling method using the same

An input device is provided. The input device includes a key input unit having a plurality of input keys and an input operation unit. A key input monitor monitors a key input to the key input unit. A timer measures a setting time upon the key input. A relay driver is operative to acquire and output an operation signal output from the input operation unit as a control signal and monitor the operation signal. The key input monitor is operative to initiate the timer when the key input to the key input unit is detected and set the relay driver to an output inhibition state. The relay driver is operative to release the output inhibition state such that the control signal is normally output when it is detected that the operation signal is a predetermined operation input within the setting time.

In a disk-storing disk device according to the present invention, within a casing having an insertion opening formed on the front face for inserting a disk, a plurality of holders are arranged in piles disproportionately on the Xside about an insertion center line while a drive unit is rotatably supported on the Xside from the insertion center line. When any of the holders is selected and a disk is inserted through the insertion opening, the disk is clamped to transfer rollers. A transporting unit is counterclockwise rotated while the disk is transferred with the transfer rollers. By the rotation, the disk is securely conveyed to the holder arranged disproportionately on the Xside. Thereby, efficiency of arranging respective units in the casing is improved so as to provide a disk-storing disk device with short depth size.
