An equipment management method comprises a step A of registering, in a database, an alert that includes content of an equipment error, a step B of registering, in the database, a processing status that includes processing of the error, a step C of managing a thread for managing the alert and the processing status in a one-to-one relationship, and a step D of transmitting, to a user terminal, an error notification that includes information indicating generation of the error. The step D includes a step of, when two or more errors do not satisfy a predetermined condition, not integrating the two or more errors in one error notification, and, when the two or more errors satisfy the predetermined condition, integrating the two or more errors in one error notification.

Equipment management method, equipment management apparatus and equipment management system

An equipment management systemcomprises a managerconfigured to manage information on a plurality of power generation facilitieshaving a power generation equipmentconnected to a power grid configured by a power transmission network; and a controllerconfigured to, when defect information on defect of a power generation equipmentprovided in a first power generation facility, which is one of the plurality of power generation facilities, is acquired, predict defect of a power generation equipmentprovided in a second power generation facility, which is different from the first power generation facility. The controlleris configured to predict the defect of the power generation equipmentprovided in the second power generation facility based on the cause of the defect of the power generation equipmentprovided in the first power generation facility.

Equipment management system and equipment management method

A management method includes a step A of estimating, for each of the plurality of entities, an error pattern related to a prediction error occurring when a power consumption amount in a future period is predicted; and a step B of determining a group of entities from among the plurality of entities based on the error pattern, wherein the group is a destination of a power reduction request for reducing the power consumption amount. The step A includes a step of estimating whether the prediction error is a positive error or a negative error. The step B includes a step of determining the group such that a total prediction error of the group is minimized, by combining an entity of which the prediction error is estimated to be a positive error and an entity of which the prediction error is estimated to be a negative error.

An alert presentation apparatus (EMS ()) acquires the amounts of power consumed by loads connected to a system, and on the basis of the acquired power amounts, presents a load list including the power consumption of each load. This alert presentation apparatus (EMS ()) presents the load list so as to reduce the frequency at which the loads that are on the load list change.

Alert presentation apparatus and alert presentation method

In the present invention, a power monitoring unit () estimates the integral power consumption on the basis of an obtained actual value or amount of change of power consumption. When the estimated value for the integral power consumption as estimated by the power monitoring unit () reaches a prescribed amount of power, a presentation unit () presents a warning, on the basis of the power values obtained by a load power meter (), indicating a list of loads for which the power consumption should be controlled.

While detecting a contact as well as a pressure load to a touch sensor, to deal with a problem of the pressure load detection, an input apparatusincludes a touch sensor, a load detection unitfor detecting the pressure load on the touch sensor, a problem detection unitfor detecting the problem with the load detection unit, and a control unitfor controlling switchover between a first input mode for performing a predetermined operation when the touch sensordetects the contact and a second input mode for performing the predetermined operation when the load detection unitdetects a pressure load satisfying a predetermined standard load while the touch sensoris detecting the contact. The control unit, when the problem detection unitdetects the problem with the load detection unit, prevents switching to the second mode.

Input apparatus

A cutting instrument has a cutting blade portion formed with a skin made of an electrode material or a reaction product of the electrode material, the electrode material having been molten by pulse discharges induced between the cutting blade portion and an electrode in a machining liquid or gas, having as the electrode one of a mold molded from powder of a kind or powder of a mixture of kinds out of a metal or metals, a metal compound or metal compounds, and a ceramic or ceramics, and a heat-treated mold being the mold as heat-treated.

A video and audio recording apparatus includes a recording medium that records base data therein and a control unit that starts and stops destructive editing in response to an instruction to start and stop destructive editing received through an operation unit. When part of the base data is deleted, the control unit writes, using management information for managing a physical area of the base data in the recording medium on the per predetermined recording unit basis, information indicating that the physical area in which the deleted part of the base data was recorded is defined as a reserved area on the per predetermined recording unit basis to the management information. When the edit data is input in response to the instruction to start editing, the edit data is overwritten into the physical area managed using the management information and defined as a reserved area on a preferential basis.

Video and audio recording apparatus and editing method

An electrode for an electrical-discharge surface-treatment method is molded with a metallic powder or a metallic compound powder having an average grain diameter of 6 micrometers to 10 micrometers. A coat on a surface of a workpiece is formed with a material constituting the electrode or a substance that is generated by a reaction of the material due to a pulse-like electrical discharge. The coat is built up with a material containing metal as a main constituent under conditions of a width of a current pulse for the pulse-like electrical discharge in a range of 50 microseconds to 500 microseconds and a peak of the current pulse equal to or less than 30 amperes.

Electrical-discharge surface-treatment method

A conversion apparatus and method is disclosed by which a file including data multiplexed therein can be edited or handled readily while maintaining the compatibility. A standard/independent conversion section converts a file of a standard AV multiplex format wherein video data and audio data are placed in a multiplexed state in a body into a file of an AV independent format wherein video data or audio data are placed collectively in a body. Meanwhile, an independent/standard conversion section converts a file of the AV independent formation into a file of the standard AV multiplex format.

Convertion apparatus and convertion method

Disclosed herein is a recording apparatus for recording a file stream which may be composed of a header, a body, and a footer onto a storage medium. The apparatus may includes header area securing means for, before recording of the body, securing in a recording area of the storage medium a header area in which the header is to be recorded; recording means for recording the body and the footer in the recording area of the storage medium, re-securing the header area secured by the header area securing means based on areas in which the body and the footer have been recorded, and recording the header in the re-secured header area; and reflecting means for allowing information concerning the header area secured when a recording process performed by the recording means is terminated normally or abnormally to be reflected in a file system of the storage medium.
