  • Patent number: 10353741
    Abstract: A load-distribution-process-server includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: receive a first execution request of a work flow including a plurality of process components each serving as a process execution unit and representing an execution sequence of the process components; execute the process components designated by the first execution request; select one load-distribution-process-server to execute a subsequent process component from a plurality of load-distribution-process-servers, based on a load condition of a first load-distribution-process-server and load conditions of second load-distribution-process-servers capable of processing the subsequent process component; and when the selected one load-distribution-process-server is one of the second load-distribution-process-servers, transmit a second execution request including an identifier of the work flow, transfer information of the work flow according to processes executed prior to the subsequent proces

  • Publication number: 20170154285
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing information executed by a processor included in an information processing apparatus, the method includes executing, with the processor, a first workflow including a determination processing to determine whether there is a second workflow to be used after the first workflow; determining whether there is the second workflow in the determination processing; switching from the first workflow to the second workflow by starting the second workflow and terminating the first workflow, when determining that there is the second workflow; and providing the second workflow to a terminal device.

  • Patent number: 6831379
    Abstract: A permanent magnet synchronous linear motor comprising a field yoke (1) having a plurality of permanent magnets (2) the polarity of which is alternated and which are arranged linearly and an armature (3) facing the array of the permanent magnets (2) through a magnetic air gap, wherein the armature (3) comprises an armature core (4) having main teeth (4b) and slots (4a), an armature winding (5) wound in the slots 4a of the armature core (4), and auxiliary teeth (6) provided at both the ends of the armature core (4). The distance &tgr;p between the centers of the auxiliary teeth (6) and the pitch &tgr;m of the field poles satisfy a relation &tgr;p=(2n−1)×&tgr;m/2 (n is a positive integer) and the length O of the auxiliary teeth (6) is in a relation of O<Hd<Ht where Hd is the length of the auxiliary teeth (6) in the direction orthogonal to the array of permanent magnets and Ht is the length of the main teeth (4b) in the direction orthogonal to the array of permanent magnets.

  • Patent number: 6540473
    Abstract: A robot vehicle for hot-line job for transmission and distribution lines which comprises an insulating boom formed of an insulating material at a tip end stage of multiple stage booms, a base end of which is supported on an elevated work vehicle to be capable of swinging, pivoting up and down, and extending and contracting, and a frame provided on the tip end of the insulating boom, the frame mounting thereon double arm manipulators of multishaft construction for performing a distribution work, a slide device for sliding independently these right and left double arm manipulators front to rear, and lifting arms of multishaft construction having a function of lifting a heavy article, so as to allow an operator to perform remote control. An electric actuator is used for driving the double arm manipulators and the slide device, and hydraulic manipulators for driving the lifting arms.

  • Patent number: 5756602
    Abstract: A method for controlling reaction temperature for a reaction vessel having a flow channel for a heat transfer medium for heating or cooling or both when vinyl chloride-based monomer is polymerized in an aqueous medium, which entails employing two or more independent flow channels and feeding two or more coolants having different temperatures to the independent flow channels to thereby cool the reaction vessel.
