Abstract: A hydraulic pump performance deterioration detection system according to one embodiment includes: a variable displacement hydraulic pump that supplies a hydraulic liquid to a hydraulic actuator to move the hydraulic actuator; a regulator that changes a displacement of the hydraulic pump in accordance with a command current; and control circuitry that feeds the command current to the regulator. When the hydraulic actuator is not moving, in a state where a switching valve located on a passage through which the hydraulic liquid delivered from the hydraulic pump flows is switched to a closed position and the hydraulic pump is being driven at a predetermined rotation speed, the control circuitry determines whether or not performance of the hydraulic pump has deteriorated based on a current value of the command current and a delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump measured by a pressure sensor.

Abstract: A hydraulic pump performance deterioration detection system according to one embodiment includes: a hydraulic pump that is driven by a prime mover and that supplies a hydraulic liquid to a hydraulic actuator to move the hydraulic actuator; a switching valve located on a passage through which the hydraulic liquid delivered from the hydraulic pump flows, the switching valve being switchable between an open position and a closed position; and control circuitry configured to change a rotation speed of the prime mover. When the hydraulic actuator is not moving, in a state where the switching valve is switched to the closed position, the control circuitry determines whether or not performance of the hydraulic pump has deteriorated based on the rotation speed of the prime mover and a delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump measured by a pressure sensor.

Abstract: A mold holder device in a press brake includes a mold clamp that clamps a mold with respect to a mold contacting surface provided for a holder body of the mold holder device. The mold clamp is pivotally arranged on the holder body. A long groove is formed in a mold clamping surface with which the mold clamp clamps the mold with respect to the mold contacting surface. The long groove is in parallel with a pivot axis of the mold clamp. A metal pipe member has a longitudinal slit and is inserted in a rotation restricted state into the long groove. A part of an outer peripheral surface of the pipe member is protruded toward the mold contacting surface.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a call distribution apparatus performing a call distribution with respect to an operator including a storage unit, including an operation schedule database which stores an operation schedule of the operator and a calling time length database which stores a calling time length of the operator, and an operator determination unit which determines an operator to be assigned, based on the operation schedule and the calling time length.

Abstract: A Compton camera includes a scattering detection unit, an absorption detection unit, a signal processing unit, a first shield unit, and a second shield unit. The scattering detection unit detects Compton scattering of incident radiation emitted from a radiation source. The absorption detection unit detects absorption of incident radiation that has undergone Compton scattering at the scattering detection unit. The signal processing unit obtains an image of the radiation source based on coincident detection events of Compton scattering of radiation at the scattering detection unit and absorption of radiation at the absorption detection unit. The first and second shield units are provided between the scattering detection unit and the absorption detection unit. The first shield unit selectively allows forward-scattered radiation to pass and selectively blocks back-scattered radiation.

Abstract: A radiation detector (1) includes a three-dimensional stacked scintillator (12) that includes a plurality of scintillator blocks (13) arranged in a matrix in a three-dimensional manner so as to form a prism, in which interposed layers (15) which have a refractive index different from a refractive index of the scintillator blocks (13) and/or have a characteristic of absorbing or scattering some of light emitted by the scintillator blocks are disposed, out of boundary surfaces between the plurality of scintillator blocks (13), on the boundary surfaces extending in a direction perpendicular to a height direction H of the prism, and light blocking layers (14) which block transmission of light emitted by the scintillator are disposed on at least some of the boundary surfaces extending in a direction parallel to the height direction of the prism.

Abstract: A rust removing agent for a stainless steel surface of an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid, a polyhydroxymonocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof and a surfactant.

Abstract: With a laser processing apparatus, the membrane of a membrane-covered film is accurately processed with a scanning laser beam linearly both in the direction of conveyance of the film and in a widthwise direction forming an angle with the direction of conveyance simultaneously, and particles splashed or scattered from the membrane by application of the laser beam are positively removed for protection of the film and the laser beam applying heads. A method of applying a scanning laser beam to a workpiece to be processed where the scanning beam is so formed that the portion of the workpiece which is processed with it shows a smooth boundary in the direction of processing.
