Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating a decision tree for determining the type of an internal abnormality of an oil-filled electric apparatus using a computer. In the decision tree generation method, the computer generates a standardized data group by converting concentrations of a plurality of gas species dissolved in an insulating oil in an oil-filled electric apparatus into ratios for each abnormality case, generates a discretized data group by converting the ratios of the concentrations of the gas species, the ratios constituting the standardized data group, into a plurality of discretized attributes using predetermined thresholds which are set for the respective gas species, and generates a decision tree for determining the type of an internal abnormality of the oil-filled electric apparatus by analysis using specific formulae on the basis of the discretized data group.

Abstract: An object is to provide an internal abnormality diagnosis method, an internal abnormality diagnosis system and a decision tree generation method for internal abnormality diagnosis of an oil-filled electric apparatus utilizing gas concentration in oil and having a diagnostic accuracy equal to or higher than that of a diagnostic specialist having reached a certain level. The present invention provides a method for generating a decision tree for determining the type of an internal abnormality of an oil-filled electric apparatus using a computer.

Abstract: To provide a method for cutting a glass material wherein the glass material can be certainly cut a glass gob having a uniform quality and a uniform temperature distribution, without being deformed or damaged. Upon cutting a glass material 20 discharged from a glass material reservoir 10 into a glass gob 21 at a predetermined size by left and right cutting blades 91, 92 which come close to or away from each other in a horizontal direction, said cutting blades 91, 92 are opposed to the other and are translated in such a way that the movement occurs in a forward direction from stand-by positions P, P1 and in a downward direction (S1) to cut the glass material (C), and thereafter, in a further downward direction and in a rearward direction (S2), and thereafter, in an upward direction to return back to said stand-by positions (S3).

Abstract: A single drive mechanism for simultaneously driving plungers of a plurality of metal molds in each of the sections by employing an output cost-efficient electric motor as a mechanism for driving the plungers. The novel plunger drive mechanism makes it possible to correctly and efficiently mold the articles without causing defect even when the glass material is fed in varying amounts into the metal molds. In molding a glass material thrown into the metal molds by moving the plungers forward, a mechanism moves the plungers forward with a predetermined torque and then backward. The mechanism includes a drive motor, a main gear, planetary bevel gears, a first driven wheel member, a second driven wheel member, a first drive pinion, a second drive pinion, a first main drive member, and a second main drive member.

Abstract: A gob distributing apparatus having a gob feeder, a scoop for selectively connecting the feeder to desired immovable chutes of a bottle making machine, and an actuator of the scoop. The scoop has rollers which are provided on the scoop and a rotatable spiral cam which is engaged by the rollers, so that the rotation of the cam causes the scoop to rotate in order to selectively connect the chutes and the feeder.
