  • Publication number: 20240033874
    Abstract: The cutting tool inspection apparatus includes a data collection unit, a training data generation unit, and an inspection data generation unit. The data collection unit acquires waveform data of current for one batch supplied to a motor that drives a cutting tool of a machine tool. During generation of training data to be compared with inspection data of the cutting tool, the training data generation unit infers a time range corresponding to a specific process of the machine tool, based on characteristics of the waveform data, and clips waveform data of the time range as the training data. The inspection data generation unit clips, as the inspection data, waveform data at a time position identical to a time position of the time range inferred by the training data generation unit, from the waveform data acquired by the data collection unit during inspection of the cutting tool.

  • Publication number: 20230235880
    Abstract: To grasp a state of a combustion apparatus based on a flame state of a burner, a discharge number measurement unit measures the number of discharges of a flame sensor per unit time. A light emission information generation unit generates, as light emission information, information obtained based on a value obtained by dividing a total (accumulation) of the number of discharges per unit time measured by the discharge number measurement unit by a total measurement time. A determination unit determines the state of the combustion apparatus to be inspected based on the light emission information generated by the light emission information generation unit as described above.

  • Patent number: 10989627
    Abstract: To provide a controller for an internal combustion engine which can determine presence or absence of misfire with good accuracy, even when the rotational variation occurs due to factors other than misfire. A controller for an internal combustion engine calculates, as a reference detection period, the detection period detected within a reference angle interval including a top dead center; calculates a period deviation which is a deviation between the reference detection period and the each detection period; calculates a former period deviation integration value by integrating the period deviation in a former angle interval before the top dead center; calculates a later period deviation integration value by integrating the period deviation in a later angle interval after the top dead center; and determines presence or absence of misfire in the combustion stroke based on the former period deviation integration value and the later period deviation integration value.
