  • Publication number: 20180243873
    Abstract: Provided is a temperature measurement device for a rotating member of a processing device that grips a rotating member made from a metal and capable of rotating around a rotational axis, and moves in coordination with and coaxially rotates with the rotating member. This temperature measurement device is equipped with: an ideal temperature setting means for setting an ideal temperature while the rotating member is rotating; a temperature measurement means for measuring an actual temperature while the rotating member is rotating; and a detection means for detecting whether or not the difference between the actual temperature measured by the temperature measurement means and the ideal temperature set by the ideal temperature setting means exceeds a pre-set threshold at the time the actual temperature is measured.

  • Publication number: 20180021882
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a friction stir welding device with which the temperature in the proximity of a weld part on a member to be welded can be intermittently measured by enabling the temperature of a plurality of sites in a rotary tool (4) used for friction stir welding to be ascertained in real-time when welding. This rotary tool (4) for a friction stir welding device comprises: a hollow channel (26a) that extends from the upper end of a shoulder part (4c) to the proximity of the lower end of a probe (4d), and that is on substantially the same axis as the axis of rotation of the shoulder part (4c); and a hollow, outer periphery channel (26b) that is apart from the axis of rotation of the shoulder part (4c) in the radial direction and in proximity of the outer periphery of the shoulder part (4c), and that extends from the upper end of the shoulder part to the proximity of the lower end thereof.

  • Patent number: 8769399
    Abstract: Computer-storage media, methods, and systems for formatting and surfacing a badge are provided. The badge represents a graphical region presented in visual association with a search result on a web-results page. The format of the badge is initially dictated by a template that is automatically generated. Upon collecting performance information, a website owner is granted permission to alter the template and appearance of the badge, via a publisher portal. During interaction with the publisher portal, the website owner is prompted to provide feedback in order to manage parameters of the badge, such as uploading a visual representation of a logo, trademark, or other branded element, or specifying a type of metadata to be imported to the graphical region. Accordingly, the badge operates to improve a users' ability to distinguish between search results on the web-results page and assists users in confidently deciding upon and selecting a relevant search result.

  • Patent number: 8526037
    Abstract: A client terminal transmits a call request for using a MFP to a call control server. The call control server carries out authentication processing about a user and the MFP in response to the call request. If the authentication processing result is correct, the call control server transfers the call request to the printing service management server. The call request is transferred from the printing service management server to a printing service providing server and then transferred to the MFP via the call control server. Thus, a session of the client terminal and the MFP is established. The printing service providing server carries out processing for providing a predetermined printing service based on the call request from the client terminal.
