Abstract: An information collecting device controls a plant based on process data acquired from controllers and field devices connected to the controllers. The information collecting device includes an arithmetic controller and an update controller. The arithmetic controller collects first information which is engineering information of the plant and second information which is device information from a controller, a field device or a combination of both selected from the controllers and the field devices. The update controller generates third information based on a definition in which the first information and the second information are set in advance, and updates the third information in a storage based on a preset update cycle.

Abstract: The invention enables generation of engineering data, for subsequent retrieval and implementation for a batch process. In an embodiment, the invention comprises (i) executing a processor implemented unit model editor, (ii) generating a unit model that includes data corresponding to a unit represented within a P&ID; (iiia) generating a control logic drawing corresponding to the unit represented within the P&ID, and (iii-b) generating a graphic drawing corresponding to the unit represented within the P&ID—both based on data parsed from the unit model, (iv) executing an operation sequence editor, (v) generating one or more operation sequences corresponding to the unit, and (vi) generating a wrapper object that includes the generated control logic drawing, the generated graphic drawing and the generated one or more operation sequences. Each of the control logic drawing, graphic drawing, and operation sequences may be implemented on formats that are different from the others.

Abstract: The invention provides, methods, systems and computer program products that enable generation of executable sequential function charts, for subsequent retrieval and implementation by a process control system. In an embodiment, generating an executable sequential function chart comprises (i) receiving equipment selection data representing a selected equipment for implementing operating functions within a sequence flow, (ii) receiving operation data representing a set of operating functions intended to be implemented by the selected equipment, (iii) assigning values to one or more configuration parameters, (iv) receiving control statement data representing a set of control statements intended to be implemented for process flow control during implementation of the set of operating functions, (v) assigning values to one or more control statement configuration parameters, and generating machine readable SEBOL program code for implementing the set of operating functions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly-permeable dense hollow fiber membrane (HFM) for blood oxygenation. A membrane material plays a key role in an oxygenator, which determines the oxygenation efficiency, service life and safety of the oxygenator. The HFM according to the present invention features high permeability. When blood rich in carbon dioxide flows through the oxygenator, the carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood can be rapidly exchanged, so that the blood can be rapidly updated, and the size of the oxygenator and the blood perfusion volume can be reduced. In addition, the membrane surface of the present invention is hydrophobic and dense, and blood does not directly contact with gas or permeate into a gas pipeline, thus avoiding the problems of protein leakage, permeability reduction and the like. The oxygenator prepared by using the HFM of the present invention can be repeatedly used for a long time.
