Abstract: An electrocardiogram analyzing apparatus has: an acquiring section acquiring a plurality of electrocardiogram waveforms; a classifying section classifying the plurality of electrocardiogram waveforms into a plurality of groups on a basis of shape similarity; an accepting section accepting a reference position of a predetermined type of wave designated on a representative waveform corresponding to at least one electrocardiogram waveform belonging to a selection group selected from the plurality of groups; and an analyzing section identifying correspondence between a plurality of positions, along a time axis, on the representative waveform of a group to which a subject-of-analysis electrocardiogram waveform belongs, and a plurality of positions on the subject-of-analysis electrocardiogram waveform along a time axis, and decides, as a position of the predetermined type of wave included in the subject-of-analysis electrocardiogram waveform, a position on the subject-of-analysis electrocardiogram waveform correspo

Abstract: Provided is a negative electrode active material for secondary batteries that is capable of inhibiting negative electrode swelling and the decline of the charge/discharge cycle characteristics of a battery. A negative electrode active material for secondary batteries according to the present disclosure is characterized by including a Si-based material, activated carbon, and a conductive material, and in that the Si-based material and the conductive material are carried in pores of the activated carbon.

Abstract: A cop sorting and transporting system for a transporting step from spinning machines to winders in a spinning mill. A tab code representative of a type of a yarn of a cop is set arbitrarily to a tab device provided for each of cop magnazines which are provided for accommodating cops therein in order to selectively determine a destination of the cop magazine. The tab code of the tab device can be changed or reset to allow repetitive use of the tab device, which allows common use of the cop magazines to cope with production of many types of spun yarn by small quantities.

Abstract: A bobbin transport system for spinning frames for supplying bobbins from bobbin reservoirs to spinning frames in a spinning mill. The spinning frames are divided into dedicated machine groups and a common machine group or groups. Bobbins are supplied to the dedicated machine groups by way of a main transport path and/or a sub transport path, and a communicating transport path for transferring bobbins from the sub transport path to the main transport path is provided for each of the spinning frames of the common machine group or groups. The bobbin transport system for spinning frames makes it possible to change the allotment of numbers of spinning frames for different types of yarns to be set for the common machine group or groups and to distribute different types of bobbins accurately to predetermined spinning frames thereby to enable production of several articles by small quantities without deteriorating the availability factor of the entire spinning frames.
