  • Patent number: 8484139
    Abstract: A data classification apparatus for classifying plural input data into plural categories, in which the apparatus includes a prototype select unit for selecting the prototype of the category nearest to the input data that has been read, a prototype evaluation unit for evaluating whether the selected prototype is proper, a prototype addition unit for adding a prototype in the case where the selected prototype is not proper and an internal data correcting unit for correcting at least one of the prototype and an area determining parameter specifying the size of the category area for each category in the case where the selected prototype is proper. The size of the category area can be set for each category, and therefore, the data can be properly classified and the judgment accuracy is improved in an application to fault detection and fault diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 8234095
    Abstract: A remote maintenance system has a monitoring computer for monitoring a facility and a monitoring center computer for maintenance management. The monitoring computer has a database for storing image data of the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer a database for storing CAD data for the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer provides coordinates to the image data sent from the monitoring computer, and superposes the image coordinate data and CAD coordinate data for the CAD. The center computer locates a needed maintenance location on the basis of the result of the superposition processing.

  • Publication number: 20100274803
    Abstract: A document preparation support apparatus outputs a knowhow and a response example for each critical passage of a document. The document preparation support apparatus includes a storage unit. The storage unit includes: first corresponding information that stores a knowhow in association with a search key for extracting a critical passage; and second corresponding information that stores a response example in association with a search key for extracting a critical passage. The document preparation support apparatus also includes a control unit. The control unit receives a document; extracts a critical passage from the received document using a prescribed search key from among the search keys; searches the first corresponding information and the second corresponding information using the search key used for the extraction to obtain a knowhow and a response example; and outputs the obtained knowhow and response example in association with the critical passage.
