The processor carries out a communication process of performing communication, via any of a plurality of relay terminals, with a sensor terminal which is worn by a care-receiver and which includes an excretion sensor and a determination process of determining a location of the care-receiver, based on a relay terminal which mediated the communication with the sensor terminal in the communication process.

Abstract: A strain element (10), which is configured such that a frame portion (11) and a central portion (12) are connected by arm portions (20) to (22), is masked except for the arm portions (20) to (22) where a strain gauge (A1) and the like are to be disposed, and then peening is carried out. With this, a compressive residual stress layer is formed on four sides of each of the arm portions (20) to (22). When the strain element (10) receives a load resulting from an external force, the arm portions (20) to (22) elastically deform; however, due to the compressive residual stress layer thus formed, the arm portions (20) to (22) are less prone to fatigue failure. When projection of a shot material is carried out as peening, the surface roughness of the arm portions (20) to (22) increases, the adhesion of strain gauges improves, detection accuracy improves, and stable measurement can be ensured.

Abstract: A wear detection method and system for a linear actuator such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder or the like. A physical amount detection sensor 9 is mounted on a linear actuator in which a push-pull member connected to a rod 2 pushes and pulls a pressure-receiving object while applying a lateral load in a direction different from the linear movement direction. An external force that is generated between a tube and the mounting member when the pressure-receiving object is pushed and pulled is detected by the physical amount detection sensor 9 and compared with standard external force data, which was detected in a state without abnormalities and stored in a computation/storage/determination processing device 10, to computationally determine whether the linear actuator is in a normal state or an abnormal state.

[Solution] In an automatic flask mating device, an external force applied to a cope with a cope molding flask M1 during flask mating is detected by means of a physical quantity detection sensor 60, quantified by a computation/storage/determination processing device 61, and then compared with a numerical value at a normal time for determination to thereby determine whether the flask mating has normally completed and detect flask mating misalignment. A force sensor is preferably used as the physical quantity detection sensor.
