Abstract: Disclosed herein are an electric press and a method for calibrating the electric press, which can implement a rapid calibration operation. An electric press (10) includes a ram location information storage unit (63) and a load control unit (64). The ram location information storage unit (63) stores ram location information, corresponding to actual load values and representing locations to which a ram is moved, in advance. The load control unit (64) applies an actual load, corresponding to at least one location which belongs to the locations represented by the ram location information and to which the ram is moved, to a compression target by moving the ram to the location. Accordingly, the load value output by the detection unit is calibrated based on the actual load value applied to the compression target.

Abstract: A diagnosing device is provided for a vehicle having a flow passage for circulating a liquid medium for cooling an inverter of the vehicle, and a pump provided on the flow passage to circulate the liquid medium. The diagnosing device includes a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature related to a temperature of the liquid medium, and a calculating unit for calculating a concentration of the liquid medium. The calculating unit calculates a viscosity of the liquid medium based on a flow rate of the liquid medium flowing through the flow passage and performance of the pump, and when the calculation as to the viscosity of the liquid medium is executed with a plurality temperature conditions, the calculating unit calculates the concentration of the liquid medium based on a relationship between the plurality of temperature conditions and the corresponding viscosities of the liquid medium.

Abstract: A vehicle cooling system includes: a channel allowing a liquid medium cooling a drive device of the vehicle to circulate; a flow rate detection unit detecting a flow rate of the liquid medium flowing in the channel; a temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the liquid medium; a pump provided on the channel for circulating the liquid medium; a rotational speed sensor detecting a rotational speed of the pump; and a control device controlling drive of the pump. The control device identifies a malfunctioning part of the cooling system based on the flow rate and the temperature of the liquid medium and the rotational speed of the pump. Thus, since abnormalities of the cooling mechanism can be detected with higher precision so that the abnormalities are distinguished from each other, it is a limited part that should be checked when repairs are made and the work efficiency is improved.

Abstract: There is provided a game system capable of enhancing the pleasure of the game by improving elements which exert influence upon the selection of a character action. In a system including a display apparatus, an input apparatus, and a game control apparatus for displaying a plurality of characters including at least one character (111) set as operation objects of the player on a game screen (110), and causing respective characters to take action in accordance with a predetermined program while referring to the output signal of the input apparatus, counting synchronized to the progress of a game is conducted by counting devices provided so as to be respectively associated with the characters of operation objects. Upon arrival of a count value of one of the counting devices at a predetermined value, processing required to make a character (111) of the operation object take action is executed in response to directions given from the player via the input apparatus.

Abstract: A game system in which a plurality of characters are each respectively made to act in dependence on a schedule prescribed in correspondence to a time of a game, at a time point the game has progressed to an end point of a loop range, if a predetermined progress permission condition is met, there is permitted progress of the game ahead of the loop range. If the progress permission condition is not met, the time on the game is made to a start point of the loop range. At this time, exceptional information as part including information associated with an experience on the game by a character as an operation object is maintained in a state attained at the end point of the range, having other information restored in a state corresponding to a start point.

Abstract: Carbon black is introduced into a granulating machine 3 through an inlet 1 and water is introduced into the same through an inlet 2 to prepare granulated carbon black, which is fed to a cylindrical rotary type dryer 5 through a line 4 and is dried. A product of carbon black is discharged through a line 6. Temperature in the dryer 5 is measured by a plurality of thermometers 10. A combustion control device performs the arithmetical processing of temperature data to obtain the initial point at which the state of the carbon black is changed from the constant rate of drying to the falling rate of drying. The control device controls each flow rate of fuel supplied from each line 7 or 8 to burners 9 for the front and rear half portions of the dryer by using the critical point and the temperature of the carbon black at the outlet of the dryer, whereby a temperature profile for the carbon black in the dryer 5 can be made stable for a long time.
