  • Publication number: 20220315721
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a laminate body in which a resin base member and a metal deposition film are brought into firmly close contact with each other. [Solution] The laminate body manufacturing method includes a desorption step S10, an introduction step S20, a deposition step S30, and a coating step S40. In the desorption step S10, a hydrophobic surface of resin is irradiated with plasma to desorb at least some of the atoms constituting the resin from the surface. In the introduction step S20, the surface of the resin subjected to the desorption step S10 is irradiated with hydroxyl radicals to introduce a hydroxyl group onto the surface of the resin. In the deposition step S30, a metal film is deposited on the surface of the resin subjected to the introduction step S20. In the coating step S40, the surface of the metal film is coated with a metal layer formed of the same metal as the metal forming the metal film.

  • Patent number: 11181130
    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis method is targeted at a hydraulic device which includes a hydraulic pump and a driven device driven by the hydraulic pump. The method includes calculating a frequency distribution with regard to a deviation between a normal value of an output parameter corresponding to an operation condition and an actual measurement value of the output parameter using a prediction model, and determining the presence of an abnormality if an average of the deviation exceeds a threshold. If the presence of the abnormality is determined, a factor of the abnormality is estimated based on the range of the deviation where a waveform peak of the frequency distribution exists.

  • Publication number: 20210286922
    Abstract: A test planning device builds up a boiler model data by using a plurality of input parameters of the boiler classified into a plurality of parameter groups. The apparatus selects one of the plurality of parameter groups as a parameter group subjected to learning, presents test conditions in which an input parameter thereof is defined as a variable, and an input parameter of a parameter group not subjected to learning is defined as a fixed value. The device modifies the model data on the basis of the result of comparison between an actual process value and a virtual process value using the present test conditions, selects a new parameter groups subjected to learning, and presents new test conditions which use the input parameter of the test conditions in which the input parameter of the previous parameter group subjected to learning is optimal, as the fixed value.

  • Publication number: 20200104542
    Abstract: A simulation results evaluation device applies plural numbers of virtual input parameters (VIPs) of a simulation test of the power generation facility to model data showing virtual behaviors of the power generation facility. The device calculates each of virtual process values (VPVs) with respect to each of the VIPs and a score obtained by multiplying the VPV by a coefficient of a positive value when the VPV is included in a predetermined target range, the coefficient being set for each of the VPVs, the coefficient being assigned such that as a deviation from a predetermined target becomes greater, the value of the coefficient becomes smaller, or a coefficient of a negative value when the VPV is included within a permissible range provided adjacently to the predetermined target range. The device extracts a simulation test condition that satisfies a predetermined evaluation condition based on the calculated score.
