Abstract: A container-contained beverage temperature adjustment apparatus includes a heat transfer member capable of abutting a part of a side surface of a container-contained beverage as an object of temperature adjustment. The apparatus further includes a temperature adjustment unit configured to adjust a temperature of the container-contained beverage through the heat transfer member, which may include a deformable bag body, and heat transfer powder and heat transfer liquid contained in the bag body. The heat transfer liquid is a liquid which freezes at a temperature higher than a target temperature.

Abstract: A diagnosis device for diagnosing a plant based on an operating state of the plant includes a monitoring data acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of monitoring data which are measurement values of a parameter related to the operating state of the plant measured at different times, a diagnosis target pattern generation unit configured to generate a diagnosis target pattern that is a plot pattern where each of the plurality of monitoring data is plotted against plant output data of the plant, and a pattern diagnosis unit configured to diagnose the plant based on the plot pattern of the diagnosis target pattern.
