Abstract: A component manufacturing system includes a main base, a first production base and a second production base. The main base designs a common wire harness and optional wire harnesses. The main base has a first order function of determining the number of common wire harnesses to be produced based on temporary order information and placing an order with the first production base, and a second order function of acquiring order confirmation information from the customer at a timing closer to a delivery date than the temporary order information and placing an order with the second production base for the completed wire harness based on the confirmation information.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe estimating/measuring core-cladding concentricity error in optical fibers. In sharp contrast to the prior art, our inventive method is based on measuring a seemingly unrelated property of fibers called guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS). As we shall show and describe, by analyzing this GAWBS property we advantageously determine what level of CCCE is exhibited by the optical fiber.

Abstract: A wire harness designing method includes, extracting, as a primary common component, a component commonly provided in the wire harnesses of all the product numbers, and determining a configuration of a basic part; classifying, as an optional component, the rest of the primary common component among all the components that form the wire harnesses of all the product numbers; extracting, as a secondary common component, component groups commonly provided in product numbers among the optional components of which the usage rate is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and determining a configuration of an additional part; classifying, as an additional component, each component of the rest of secondary common components among the optional components; and forming the whole wire harness of each product number with a combination of the wire harness of the basic part, the wire harness of the additional part, and the additional component

Abstract: There is provided a slider cover for a slide fastener. An upper member and a lower member are spaced apart from each other in an upward and downward direction and arranged in parallel to each other. A connecting post connects the upper member with the lower member. The upper member includes a receiving portion configured to receive at least a part of an upper blade of a slider.

Abstract: A dummy bit elimination device in a coding apparatus for use in a submarine cable system. The dummy bit elimination device has a converter for eliminating only dummy bits from FEC (Forward Error Correction) code. The coding apparatus has an optical-to-electrical signal transducer, a demultiplexer, a coder for generating an FEC code, a multiplexer for multiplexing inputs, and an electrical-to-optical signal transducer. The dummy bit elimination device is inserted between the coder and the multiplexer so that the outputs of the coder are fed to the converter and an outputs of the converter are fed to the multiplexer.

Abstract: A method for retrieving information related to a desired item from a database storing information which are collected from a system to be monitored is disclosed. A plurality of states of the system are displayed in time sequence on screen of a display. Each of the states is represented by a plurality of items of collected information. When inputting a desired item of a state selected from the states displayed on the screen, a state of the system is retrieved from the database based on the desired item, and the retrieved state is displayed on the screen.

Abstract: A monitor information transmitting/receiving apparatus transmits/receives monitor information data about each cable landing station in a submarine cable system in which a plurality of cable landing stations are arranged in the form of a ring. The apparatus includes a monitor information setting section and a selection section. The monitor information setting section generates monitor information to be sent by setting monitor information about a self-station in monitor information including monitor information data about each station which is received through each of routes in two directions, and containing data for specifying set times in the monitor information. The selection section selects data, of the monitor information data about the respective stations which are received through the respective routes in the two direction, which corresponds to new set time as latest monitor information data.
