  • Publication number: 20250259124
    Abstract: An operation status management method includes acquiring apparatus position information indicating a position of one or more work apparatuses that include a plurality of travel modes, and perform work in a field, and travel mode information indicating a travel mode of the work apparatus. The operation status management method also includes outputting work apparatus information indicating a position of the work apparatus and a travel mode of the work apparatus, in association with each other. The work apparatus information may indicate an image indicating a position of the work apparatus on a map. Further, the plurality of travel modes may include a manual travel mode in which the work apparatus is manually controlled by a worker riding on the work apparatus. Further, the plurality of travel modes may include an automatic travel mode in which the work apparatus is controlled from a control terminal communicably connected to the work apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230060662
    Abstract: A work management method includes storing work data associating a determined work type that represents work performed in a first work region and has been determined with work region information that represents the first work region. In addition, the work management method includes estimating an estimated work type that represents work performed by a work device in a second work region, based on operation information that represents operation status of the work device. In addition, the work management method includes outputting region display information that distinctively represents the first work region corresponding to the determined work type and the second work region corresponding to the estimated work type that has not been determined.

  • Publication number: 20040081785
    Abstract: A medical tubing of a random copolymer containing an olefin-based monomer, such as ethylene, in an amount of 50-95 mol % and, preferably 75-95 mol %, and a styrene-based monomer, such as styrene, in an amount of 50-5 mol %, preferably 25-5 mol %. The medical tubing can be used as a conjugating tube or a connecting tube of medical equipment such as infusion circuits and blood circuits, and for administering an oil-soluble drug such as nitroglycerin. The random copolymer does not contain chlorine atoms or a plasticizer. The tubing has very small adsorption of the drugs, can withstand squeezing action by an infusion pump, has a possibility of undergoing &ggr;-ray sterilization and has flexibility necessary for clinical use.
