A motorman's cab in a train is provided with a plurality of door operating switches that open and close the train doors on the station-platform side in a fully-automatic manner, in a semi-automatic manner, or in a manner that open and close doors in sections. A central device includes an information control unit that specifies a stopping station where a train stops next on the basis of train information; selects a recommended door operating switch at the stopping station from among the door operating switches on the basis of an estimated passenger-number value, which is the number of passengers at the stopping station, as a recommended door operating switch for the stopping station; and then it displays display information that prompts the train crew to operate the selected door operating switch on a display device in the control platform.

Train-information management device and train-crew support method

A central device includes an information replacing unit. When the information replacing unit detects, on the basis of contact information acquired from an electric coupler provided in a coupled vehicle in a formation B having a train-information management device that manages vehicle information in accordance with the Ethernet&#xae; protocol, that a formation A that includes a train-information management device that manages vehicle information in accordance with the ARCNET protocol is coupled to the formation B, then the information replacing unit replaces vehicle information from the formation A with vehicle information in accordance with the Ethernet&#xae; protocol; outputs the replaced vehicle information to the formation B; replaces the vehicle information from the formation B with the vehicle information in accordance with the ARCNET protocol; and outputs the replaced vehicle information to the formation A.

Train-information management device and train-information management method

A train-information managing apparatus receives a series of control information attached to serial numbers, which are transmitted from a central apparatus, in order of the transmission and carries out control in the order, and even when the central apparatus is changed or the serial numbers are reset, prevents a blank period of control from occurring. Therefore, when a reception serial number n included in received data is a preferential serial number (n&#x2266;M) and an old number n, which is a serial number included in data received and stored last time, is a cyclic serial number (n&#x2267;M+1), the train-information managing apparatus stores the received data.

Train-information managing apparatus

A train information management apparatus includes a first system central device that generates first train control information for a car-mounted device in every predetermined period and a second system central device that generates second train control information starting from the time at which the time obtained by multiplying the predetermined period with 1/2 has elapsed from the time point when the first train control information is transmitted. The first system central device generates a first packet every time the first train control information is generated and alternately transmits a first packet to a first system trunk transmission line and a second system trunk transmission line. The second system central device generates and transmits a second packet almost in the same manner except that the second packet is transmitted to a trunk transmission line on the opposite side of the trunk transmission line to which the first packet was transmitted.

Train information management apparatus and train information management method

After latest door opening-side information is received from an operational management server on a ground after a train starts an operation, train-information managing apparatuses output the door opening-side information to display control apparatuses as guidance data, the display control apparatuses create video data indicating an opening side of doors for all stops at least between a next stop and a terminal station of the train using the door opening-side information, and displays perform display using the video data.

Train guidance-display system and train guidance-display method

The train-information management device includes a position detection unit; a regenerating-condition detection unit that detects a regenerative-brake usage condition; a train-line-information holding unit that holds therein information on a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake; a residual-air-amount calculation unit that calculates the amount of residual air in an air tank; and a compressor control unit that controls a compressor. In a regeneration-preparation condition, if a train is running through a position where the distance between the position and a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake is equal to or less than a given value, if the train does not use a regenerative brake, and if the amount of residual air reaches 0%, the compressor control unit causes a compressor to start generating compressed air.

Train-information management device and device control method

The present invention includes a position detection unit; a regenerating-condition detection unit; a train-line information holding unit that holds therein information on a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake; an air-conditioning set-value holding unit that holds therein a temperature set value of an air conditioner; and a target-temperature control unit that decides a target temperature. In a regeneration-preparation condition in which a train is running through a position at which the distance between the position and a section in which a train is more likely to use a brake is equal to or less than a given value and in which the train does not use a regenerative brake, the target-temperature control unit decides a value, generated by adding a predetermined value to the temperature set value, as the target temperature.

A medicinal plant-derived antiviral powder is provided as obtained by collecting a medicinal plant having an antiviral action, immediately quickly heating the plant to de-activate enzymatic activity, subjecting to low temperature drying, and milling after the quick heating or low temperature. The powder may be extracted with hot water or a lower alcohol to obtain antiviral extract. These powder and extract may be utilized as preparations, particularly, a powder, comprising an effective amount thereof The powder and extract obtained by treating, as a medicinal plant, young leaves of,and a flower portion of,are useful.

Plant-derived powder and an extract of the same

A reverse transcriptase containing flowery portion or its extract originated from elm in Ulmus hollandica is disclosed. The reverse transcriptase of this invention shows an activity remarkably higher than that of a known reverse transcriptase inhibitor derived from Ulmus davidiana var. japonica. Low toxicity of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor of this invention allows it being successfully applied to pharmaceuticals with a potent activity at a low dose, foods and beverages.
