  • Patent number: 11836063
    Abstract: A system includes a control device including a processor. The processor is configured to record a log into a log file, the log regarding information on an event having occurred in the system such that an operation state of the system at a point in time of the occurrence of the event is allowed to be specified as any of a plurality of operation states and an operation state different from the plurality of operation states. Here, the plurality of operation states correspond to a plurality of pieces of sequence processing previously defined. The processor is configured to extract the log from the log file, based on information designating a particular operation state as the operation state of the system, in units of operation states of the system such that the log includes information on an event having occurred in the particular operation state.

  • Patent number: 10729161
    Abstract: A fryer includes a potential generator; and an oil tub installed with a discharging electrode of the potential generator. The potential generator includes a transformer that is composed of a primary coil and a secondary coil; a feedback control circuit that feeds back one terminal of the secondary coil to one terminal of the primary coil to adjust a voltage of the secondary coil; an output control portion that is provided on the other terminal of the secondary coil to impart a predetermined low frequency vibration to an output of the secondary coil which causes the discharging electrode physically vibrates; and the discharging electrode that is formed of a conductive material and provided on the other terminal of the secondary coil via the output control portion. A vibration frequency of the low frequency vibration applied is 40 Hz to 60 Hz which is determined by the output control portion.

  • Patent number: 10539774
    Abstract: Provided is a microscope system including: a plurality of objective lenses that are selectively used to collect fluorescence from a specimen; a detecting unit that obtains image information of the specimen on the basis of the fluorescence collected by the objective lens; and an adjustment unit that adjusts the observation range of the specimen S and that divides the observation range into one or more observation regions corresponding to a capture range captured by the detecting unit, wherein the adjustment unit calculates an observation magnification at which the entire well is included in the observation range, the number of observation regions is minimized, and the resolution becomes the highest, on the basis of information about the size of the well in a multi-plate for accommodating the specimen and information about an objective magnification of the objective lens, and adjusts the observation range on the basis of the calculated observation magnification.
