Abstract: A vibration processing apparatus (10) includes a vibration information acquisition unit (110), a reference region setting unit (120), and a determination unit (130). The vibration information acquisition unit (110) acquires detection data indicating a detection result of a vibration sensor (222). The vibration information acquisition unit (110) generates vibration information by processing the detection data. The vibration information indicates magnitude of amplitude by frequency. The reference region setting unit (120) generates data indicating a reference region set in the vibration information. The reference region indicates, by frequency, a range of amplitude in which a belt conveyor (20) is determined to be normal. When amplitude is outside the reference region at any frequency in the vibration information generated at a certain timing, the determination unit (130) determines that an abnormality occurs in a monitoring target at the timing.

Abstract: A data output apparatus (10) includes a sensor (100), a relay apparatus (200), and a wireless communication apparatus (300). The sensor (100) generates data. The wireless communication apparatus (300) transmits the data. The relay apparatus (200) is located between the sensor (100) and the wireless communication apparatus (300). The sensor (100) and the relay apparatus (200) are connected by using a first cable (410), and the relay apparatus (200) and the wireless communication apparatus (300) are connected by using a second cable (420). Then, the relay apparatus (200) processes the data output from the sensor (100), and then outputs the processed data to the wireless communication apparatus (300).

Abstract: To determine, with high accuracy, whether an anomaly has occurred in equipment to be monitored, an anomaly detection apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a determination unit. The determination unit acquires detection result information indicating a detection result of a vibration sensor attached to equipment including a movable unit. The determination unit determines, by using the detection result information, presence or absence of an anomaly of the equipment. The detection result information includes a magnitude of a vibration of each of a plurality of axes oriented in directions different from each other. The determination unit computes, with respect to each of the plurality of axes, a difference between a magnitude of a vibration at a target timing, and a magnitude of a vibration at a predetermined period of time before the target timing or a criterion value previously set.

Abstract: A plurality of data output apparatuses (10) are installed at places different from each other, and each output data in wireless communication. A data storage apparatus (20) stores the data output from the data output apparatus (10). The data output apparatus (10) includes at least one sensor and a wireless communication apparatus. The wireless communication apparatus stores, for each of the plurality of other wireless communication apparatuses that can be a transmission destination of the data, connection information for connecting to the other wireless communication apparatus and priority information indicating a priority of the other wireless communication apparatus. Then, the wireless communication apparatus repeats processing of reading the connection information, and performing communication by using the read connection information in descending order of the priority until the communication succeeds when a transmission route of the data is set.

Abstract: To detect a faulty operation in a non-contact switch, a pulse signal is applied to the light emitting element of the non-contact switch. The input pulse signal is compared with an output signal generated by a light receiving element of the non-contact switch. The faulty operation of the non-contact switch is discriminated in accordance with the thus compared input and output signals.

Abstract: To detect a faulty operation in a non-contact switch, a pulse signal is applied to the light emitting element of non-contact switch. The thus input pulse signal is compared with an output signal generated by a light receiving element of the non-contact switch. The faulty operation of the non-contact switch is discriminated in accordance with the thus compared input and output signals. Also to detect a faulty operation of the non-contact switch, a switch assembly includes a main push-button and an auxiliary push-button concentrically located over and within the main push-button. When the main push-button operates properly, the blocking members associated with the main push-button and the auxiliary push-button are displaced together. On the other hand, when the main push-button malfunctions, the light blocking member of the auxiliary push-button blocks the passage of light within the non-contact switch. Thus, an erroneous operation resulting from jamming of the main push-button is prevented.

Abstract: A pipe joint in which an inner pipe is telescoped in an outer pipe includes a first and second expanded portion on the outer pipe. A packing member is disposed in the annular space between the second expanded portion and the inner pipe and a ring element is disposed in aligned annular grooves in the inner circumferential wall of the second expanded portion and the packing member. The ring element has a radial thickness equal to approximately one-half the difference between the inner diameters of the first and second expanded portions and serves to divide the packing member into two rim parts such that the latter are acted upon independently as the inner pipe is telescopically inserted into the outer pipe with the ring element preventing the rim parts from being axially displaced as the inner pipe is telescopically inserted in the outer pipe.
