  • Publication number: 20170344929
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry acquires, from equipment in which a fault has occurred, status information indicating a status of the equipment. The circuitry checks whether a maintenance person who is in an available state is present from among a plurality of maintenance persons. The circuitry identifies a type of the fault that has occurred in the equipment, based on the acquired status information. In a case in which no maintenance person who is in the available state is present from among the plurality of maintenance persons, the circuitry instructs the equipment to output a quick fix technique, which enables working around the fault of the identified type to enable continued use of the equipment.

  • Patent number: 6489021
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-layer resin film having excellent oxygen gas barrier properties, particularly even at high humidity, and further having no chlorine content. The multi-layer resin film of the present invention has a biaxially-stretched polypropylene resin film, an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the polypropylene resin film, and a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer formed on the adhesive layer, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol resin layer has a value of crystallinity parameter (CP (M//) ⊥) not less than 0.8. The multi-layer resin film of the present invention can be prepared by forming an adhesive layer on at least one surface of an unstretched polypropylene resin film; stretching the film in one direction; forming a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer on the adhesive layer; and stretching the film in another direction perpendicular to the direction of previous stretching.
