  • Patent number: 11378383
    Abstract: A plant facility apparatus recognition system is provided, which appropriately recognizes a plant facility apparatus even in a plant facility in which a wireless facility and a marker are not able to be installed even when the shape of the plant facility apparatus is different from or has been changed from design data. The plant facility apparatus recognition system that uses a mobile device having a camera to recognize the plant facility apparatus to be subjected to work in the plant facility includes a characteristic length acquirer that acquires information on the pipe as a first characteristic length from an image obtained by causing the camera to image the plant facility apparatus and the pipe existing near the plant facility apparatus, and a characteristic length comparator that compares the first characteristic length with a second characteristic length acquired from the design data and related to the pipe.

  • Patent number: 10360315
    Abstract: The object is to enable easy acquisition of an element that is not design data. The technique is characterized in that when generating construction field management information used to manage a construction field, a construction field management device acquires measurement data that is three-dimensional shape data measured by a measurement device, and compares design data created by a designer with the acquired measurement data, thus extracting non-design data that is not the design data, from the measurement data. Also, as the non-design data, data of a scaffolding/tool and a component of the design data in a temporarily placed state are extracted, and the status of these is analyzed and displayed on a display unit.

  • Publication number: 20180128716
    Abstract: Minute particles in a gas generated in a particle generating unit are charged by a charging unit. A concentrating unit concentrates charged particles in an introduced gas, and a collecting unit absorbs and collects the concentrated charged particles on a sample plate by an electrostatic force. In the concentrating unit, the charged particles are concentrated by decreasing a flow rate of a gas (carrier gas) in which particles are dispersed while maintaining the number of introduced charged particles. When the flow rate of the gas decreases, and spatial density of the particles increases, it is possible to efficiently collect charged particles on the small sample plate in the collecting unit, and to shorten a collection time.

  • Publication number: 20180071750
    Abstract: A gas stream containing charged particles is introduced through a first gas inlet port into a first space, while another gas stream containing charged particles is introduced through a second gas inlet port into a second space located below and separated from the first space by a mesh-like filter. Voltages are respectively applied to an upper plate electrode, lower plate electrode 16 and filter to create a DC electric field within a housing. Due to this electric field, the charged particles contained in the gas stream flowing in the first space move toward the second space. The charged particles which have entered the second space through the openings of the filter are extracted through a gas outlet port along with the charged particles originally contained in the gas stream flowing in the second space.

  • Publication number: 20170138831
    Abstract: In unipolar charging, a discharge current value at which charging efficiency is best and a discharge current dependency of multivalent charging differ depending on the particle size of the particles that are the object of charging. Therefore, for each particle size, a discharge voltage at which univalent charging efficiency is best and a discharge voltage at which the signal-to-noise ratio of a signal when particles of a different size are regarded as noise is best are obtained through experiment and stored in a storage unit (21).
