  • Publication number: 20230043291
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a building material having excellent durability. [Solution] A building material has a convex part formed on a surface thereof, the convex part including a first lateral surface part and a second lateral surface part corresponding to the first lateral surface part. The building material is formed from a mixture containing a hydraulic material, an admixture, and a plant-based reinforcing material, and the plant-based reinforcing material at least in the convex part is distributed in the mixture with the hydraulic material and the admixture attached to the plant-based reinforcing material. A distribution of the plant-based reinforcing material in the first lateral surface part and a distribution of the plant-based reinforcing material in the second lateral surface part are substantially the same.

  • Patent number: 11541571
    Abstract: Provided is a building material manufacturing apparatus and a building material manufacturing method that are suitable for efficiently manufacturing a building material while suppressing clogging of a sieve portion for sieving the building raw material. The building material manufacturing apparatus of the present invention includes, for example, a sieve portion 10 and a receiving tool 30. The sieve portion 10 includes a receiving and sending sheet 11 with no sieve openings, onto which the building raw material M is dropped, and at least one sieve sheet 12 with sieve openings that is located below the sheet. The receiving and sending sheet 11 and the sieve sheet 12 can perform undulating motion, are inclined, and are arranged side by side in the inclination direction. The receiving tool 30 is for receiving the building raw material M that has passed through the sieve openings of the sieve portion 10.

  • Patent number: 11418534
    Abstract: A threat analysis system includes a storage unit that stores first information in which a device configuring a threat analysis target system and a vulnerability included in the device are associated with each other, and second information in which the device and a threat from a viewpoint of a business operator assumed in the threat analysis target system are associated with each other; a threat analysis processing unit that associates the vulnerability included in the device and a threat in the threat analysis target system with each other on a basis of the first information and the second information stored in the storage unit; and a threat-analysis result output unit that outputs a relationship between the vulnerability and the threat associated by the threat analysis processing unit.

  • Patent number: 6190286
    Abstract: The invention provides a hydraulic pressure control system for an automatic transmission and a method that enable a smooth kick-down from any accelerator (throttle) opening degree. The hydraulic pressure control system comprises at least a throttle opening degree sensor (3), a vehicle speed sensor to detect a vehicle speed, a hydraulic (or oil) pressure controller (including device) (6) which receives signals (S3A, S3B, S4A, S4B) from sensors (3, 4), and a line pressure solenoid (14) which receives a signal (S9) from the hydraulic pressure controller (6). The hydraulic pressure controller (6) further comprises a throttle opening memory storage (including device) (8) for storing the signal S3B from the throttle opening degree sensor (3) and a line pressure controller (including device) to control a line pressure in shifting according to the throttle opening degree, stored by the throttle opening memory storage, before a predetermined period from a shift gear determination point.
