Patent number: 8121724Abstract: In response to a transfer request, for which a loading time at a transfer source and a loading time at a transfer target are designated by a production controller, there is created a transfer scenario, which contains a basic transfer (From) from the transfer source to a buffer near the transfer target, for example, and a basic transfer (To) from the buffer to the transfer target. In order that the basic transfers (From, To) may be able to be executed, the buffer is reserved, and a transfer vehicle is allocated. The time period for the transfer vehicle to run to the transfer source or the buffer and the time period for the transfer vehicle to run from the transfer source or the buffer are estimated to assign a transfer command to the transfer vehicle. The possibility that the loading and the loading time may deviate from a designated period is evaluated. In case this possibility is high, a production controller is informed that a just-in-time transfer is difficult.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignees: Murata Kikai Kabushiki Kaisha, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Takao Hayashi, Hiroki Sone, Toyokazu Kobayashi, Yoshinori Yamada, Akiya Inoue, Masayuki Tsujino, Hiromichi Kawano

Patent number: 8019468Abstract: A transport scenario composed of a basic transport (From) from a transport starting point to, e.g., a buffer near the transport destination point and a basic transport (To) from the buffer to the transport destination point is created in response to a transport request of a production controller for transport whose loading times at the transport starting point and at the transport destination point are specified. The buffer is reserved so as to perform the basic transport (From) and the basic transport (To), transport vehicles are allocated, the travel time to the transport starting point or the buffer and the travel time from the transport starting point or the buffer are estimated, and transport instructions are given to the transport vehicles. The possibility that the loading times are out of the specified period is evaluated. If the possibility is larger, the impossibility of a just-in-time transport is notified to the production controller.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignees: Murata Kikai Kabushiki Kaisha, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Takao Hayashi, Hiroki Sone, Toyokazu Kobayashi, Yoshinori Yamada, Akiya Inoue, Masayuki Tsujino, Hiromichi Kawano

Patent number: 5977502Abstract: The gas circuit breaker has a configuration such that a stationary contact section and a movable contact section are arranged in an arc-extinguishing gas sealed container, to face each other, and the movable contact section includes a hollow operating rod having an exhaust hole at its rear portion, a movable cylinder arranged around the rod, a hollow movable arc contact provided on the movable cylinder and an insulating nozzle surrounding the movable arc contact. The movable contact section further includes a stationary piston portion insertable/removable inside the movable cylinder, and the space formed by the movable cylinder and the current collecting cylinder fixed to the stationary piston portion is partitioned by a parting plate into a thermal pressure elevation room space at front side and a compression room space at rear side.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1999Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hitoshi Mizoguchi, Tadashi Mori, Hiromichi Kawano, Katsumi Suzuki, Mitsuru Toyoda
