Abstract: This present invention simplifies the installation work, the initialization, the operation confirmation, and the test run work of a monitor terminal in a field site that monitors a monitor object. Communication information and management information, such as a telephone number used to communicate with a communication terminal in a field site at test run time, are integrated. For example, the common values (default values) are set in the communication terminal, which will communicate with a monitoring apparatus, as communication information (IP address, user ID, password) to allow the monitoring apparatus to communicate with the communication terminal by setting only the telephone number of the communication terminal in the monitoring apparatus. During a test run, the monitoring apparatus performs operation to change the communication information and the management information in the communication terminal to the information suitable for a production run.

Abstract: A treatment tool for an endoscope includes: a treatment portion that is positioned on a distal end side and of which at least a portion is formed from an electroconductive material; an operating wire that is formed from an electroconductive material and is connected to the treatment portion; a sheath that is formed from an electrically non-conductive material through which the operating wire is inserted; a base that is fixed to a base end side of the sheath; an operating section that is rotatably mounted on the base and is connected to a base end side of the operating wire, and that causes the treatment portion to move forwards and backwards and to rotate via the operating wire; and a plug that is provided on the base and is electrically connected to the operating wire.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus that captures data in a router into a monitoring apparatus to cope with a communication abnormality in a monitoring system that uses the router, a modem, and a network. The monitoring apparatus comprises input modules 343, 345 for being input with a signal from a monitored object 303; a CPU module 341 for processing the signal from the input modules 343, 345; a communication module 342; a data bus 352; and a power module 340. The communication module has two connectors 204, 206 or more each connected to the network; a connection terminal connected to a power supply buss 351; a connection terminal connected to the data bus 352; a memory; and a CPU.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reinforcement design support apparatus and so on for assisting the selection of a reinforcing metal fixture to be used to reinforce a web opening. The reinforcement design support apparatus comprises an application condition determining unit for determining whether or not a web opening provided in a steel frame beam satisfies an application condition on the basis of steel frame beam data and web opening data read from a design drawing, and when application is impossible, correcting the web opening data and re-determining whether or not the application condition has been satisfied, and a selection unit for selecting a reinforcing metal fixture to be applied to the web opening provided in the steel frame beam when the application condition is determined by the application condition determining means to have been satisfied.

Abstract: A treatment tool for an endoscope which grasps an object of treatment, includes: a flexible sheath; a forward-and-backward moving section; and elastic grippers, wherein each of the pair of arms includes: a connector; a bent portion; a rectilinear portion; and a distal clasp, wherein in conjunction with the forward and backward movement operation of the forward-and-backward moving section, the distal ends of the pair of arms are deployed when the pair of arms are projected from the distal end of the sheath, the distal ends of the pair of arms are closed by elastic deformation when the pair of arms are moved into the sheath.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus having a plurality of communication units, each of which incorporates therein a communication control section, a control section and a memory section, and executes programs for communicating with monitoring terminals via a communication network; and memory units, each storing data therein. The monitoring apparatus has a function that at least one of the plural communication units decides on whether or not the operations of the other communication units are normal, depending on the contents of its communications with the other communication units, and also a function that the decision is displayed on a personal computer placed outside the monitoring apparatus.
