Publication number: 20240118171Abstract: A plant monitoring method using a Mahalanobis distance calculated from data of a plurality of variables indicating the state of the plant. The plant monitoring method includes: acquiring data in a first period in the past up to the current point of time as first data; predicting data in a second period from the current point of time as second data; and creating, on the basis of the first data and the second data, a unit space that serves as a base for calculating the Mahalanobis distance. In the prediction step, the second data is predicted on the basis of: data in a third period obtained, as third data, by shifting the first period to the past by a prescribed period; data in a fourth period obtained, as fourth data, by shifting the second period to the past by the prescribed period, and the first data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Ichiro NAGANO, Mayumi SAITO, Kuniaki AOYAMA, Keiji EGUCHI

Patent number: 7841111Abstract: A shooter for a snow remover has a shooter main body configured to be rotatably mounted on an auger housing of a snow remover for ejecting snow collected by an auger of the snow remover. A shooter guide is swingably mounted on a top end of the shooter main body to undergo swinging movement from an initial state thereof so as to allow adjustment of an angle of projection of the snow ejected from the shooter main body. A torsion spring has a single coil and is connected between the shooter main body and the shooter guide for urging the shooter guide to return to the initial state thereof. Vibration-reducing members are inserted into the single coil of the torsion spring so as to be in physical contact with one another and to surround and support an entire inner periphery of the single coil for reducing vibration and deformation in a radial direction of the torsion spring.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2006Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Sueshige, Keiji Nagano, Nobuyuki Hirose
