Abstract: A joint guarantee system for vehicle assembly is applied to a vehicle assembly line that assembles an assembling object to a vehicle carried through on a conveyer line as an assembling element, and includes a vehicle detector that detects the vehicle entering the conveyer line, tool detectors disposed along the conveyer line that detect a position of an assembling tool on the conveyer line, an inertial sensor module installed in the assembling tool that detects an angle and a displacement of the assembling tool for an assembling point of the vehicle and the assembling object, a tool controller that applies control signals corresponding to a predetermined assembling point of the vehicle and the assembling object, a kind of assembling element, and assembling torque of the assembling tool, to the assembling tool, and a main controller that processes and stores the above information.

Abstract: A monitor method for process control in a semiconductor fabrication process is disclosed. A first alignment mark is formed in a layer on a substrate, and its position is measured and stored in a first measurement data. A fabrication process is then performed. Afterwards, another measurement is performed to measure the position of the first alignment mark and to generate a second measurement data. Finally, an offset value between the position of the first alignment mark in the first measurement data and those in the second measurement data is calculated.

Abstract: A data center that houses an electronic device, the data center includes a plurality of air-current-supply-sections that supply an air current to the electronic device, a plurality of shields that are provided for the air-current-supply-sections to shield corresponding air-current-supply-sections, and a control section that acquires status information indicative of a status of the electronic device from the electronic device, controls a flow rate of the air current supplied from each of the air-current-supply-sections in accordance with the acquired status information, checks the air-current-supply-sections to locate an air-current-supply-section whose air current flow rate is not higher than a predetermined value, checks the shields to locate a shield corresponding to the air-current-supply-section whose air current flow rate is not higher than the predetermined value, and causes the located shield to shield the located air-current-supply-section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for operating a safety system in a floating wind turbine. The floating wind turbine comprises one or more sensors 202, 203, and receives a fore-aft inclination signal from the sensor 202, wherein the fore-aft inclination signal indicates an inclination of said floating wind turbine in a fore-aft direction. A side-to-side inclination signal is also received from the sensor 203, wherein the side-to-side inclination signal indicates an inclination of said floating wind turbine in a side-to-side direction. An operational parameter of the floating wind turbine is altered based on either or both of said fore-aft inclination signal and said side-to-side inclination signal.
