  • Patent number: 10627307
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a gas monitoring program causes a computer to acquire a continuous frame of an infrared image, to calculate a concentration-thickness product of leaking gas in the infrared image, to assume a gas leakage location of the leaking gas in the infrared image, to set a gas type which circulates in a pipe proximate to the gas leakage location as a gas type of the leaking gas by referring to circulating substance information of the piping equipment and matching the gas leakage location, to set a maintenance threshold value for the concentration-thickness product of the leaking gas, to estimate a leakage volume from the gas leakage location per unit of time of the gas type, and to predictively calculate a timing when the concentration-thickness product exceeds the maintenance threshold value on a basis of a time-changing leakage volume per unit of time.

  • Patent number: 5966356
    Abstract: An apparatus for reading information from an optical disk, comprises a rotator to rotate the optical disk, a detector to detect optical information from the optical disk and to output signals, AC coupling section to eliminate signal components lower than a predetermined cut-off frequency from the signals, a slice level signal generator to generate slice level signals from a peak value and a bottom value of the signals; and a data outputting section to obtain data outputs from the signals and the slice level signals.

  • Patent number: 5355360
    Abstract: A laser beam controller of a semiconductor laser generator to read, write, and erase an information signal on a recording medium. Includes a generator of a variable-strength laser beam to read, write and erase the information signal on the recording medium; a first power supply of a first current to generate a laser beam to read the information signal; a second power supply of a second current to generate a laser beam to write or erase the information signal; and a controller circuit of the first and the second power supply.
