Abstract: A control program is automatically created using an action chart that is easy to create for an automated manufacturing machine with a complex operation. A subchart is pre-created for a set of consecutive subperiods of multiple subperiods included in an action chart. The action chart includes a subchart representation in a subperiod for identifying the subchart to represent the set of consecutive subperiods corresponding to the subchart. The action chart and the subchart are read together. Program elements for element actions in the subperiods on the action chart are combined together. For the subperiod with the subchart representation on the action chart, program elements for element actions assigned to the consecutive subperiods on the subchart are combined together in an order of the consecutive subperiods on the subchart. The control program is thus generated.

Abstract: An action chart describing an operation of an automated manufacturing machine includes subperiods into which an operation period from a start to an end of the operation of the automated manufacturing machine is divided. The action chart includes element actions included in the operation of the automated manufacturing machine. The element actions on the action chart are assigned to the subperiods and each include an action identifier including qualitative information about the element action, and a numerical table or numerical parameters. The action chart is read. The action identifiers on the action chart are converted into program elements stored in a manner associated with the action identifiers. A numerical value in the numerical table or the numerical parameters is set for each program element. The program elements are combined together in an order of the subperiods on the action chart.

Abstract: A package for a cryopreservation container including at least an adhesive fluoropolymer film. The package for a cryopreservation container makes it possible to store blood, rare cells and vital tissues in a very low temperature environment without any damage to the container. Further, the sealing strength resulting from heat sealing after placing a cryopreservation container in the packages is very good. Therefore, liquid nitrogen can be inhibited from entering the inside and thus contamination with bacteria, viruses or the like contained in liquid nitrogen can be avoided and the package can be prevented from being broken by expansion of intruder liquid nitrogen on the occasion of thawing. Also disclosed is a method for packaging a cryopreservation container and a method of producing a package for a cryopreservation container.
