  • Patent number: 11703833
    Abstract: A server that is a program providing device includes: a provision processing unit that provides a program part constituting a control program being a program to be executed in a controller; an authentication unit that authenticates an operation simulation module being a program for simulatively performing operation in accordance with the program part on a basis of a result of verification on whether or not the operation simulation module can simulate operation of the controller to be performed by execution of the program part; and an operation checking unit that checks operation of the program part by using the authenticated operation simulation module.

  • Publication number: 20230185267
    Abstract: A malfunction analysis support program causes a computer to perform a log data acquisition step, an action reproduction step, a three-dimensional data display step, a processing step being at least one of a program operation display step, a waveform display step, or a video display step, and a time synchronization step. The log data acquisition step obtains log data temporally sequentially recording a state of an operational part and input-output data of a control signal. The action reproduction step generates action reproduction simulation data obtained by causing a virtual object-to-be-controlled to reproduce an action based on the log data. The three-dimensional data display step displays the action reproduction simulation data as three-dimensional data. The time synchronization step synchronizes time between three-dimensional data displayed by the three-dimensional data display step and data displayed by the processing step.

  • Publication number: 20100019490
    Abstract: A small pipe fitting in which a male body and a female body cannot be separated after they are coupled once. The pipe fitting (10) consists of a male body (12), and a female body (30) into which the male body (12) is inserted. The male body (12) has a smaller outside diameter on the distal end side and includes, sequentially from the distal end, a third cylindrical portion (14), an outer tapered portion (16), a second cylindrical portion (18), an annular groove (20) locked with a resilient stop ring body (42), and a first cylindrical portion (22). The female body (30) has a smaller inside diameter on the rear side and includes, sequentially from the distal end and from the inlet side of an opening (32), a first inner wall face (34), a two-step groove (40) consisting of a locking groove (36) and a containing groove (38) and containing the resilient stop ring body (42), a second inner wall face (44), an inner tapered portion (46), and a third inner wall face (48).

  • Patent number: 5653480
    Abstract: A pipe coupling is constructed such that: a pressing member is supported by an inner collar and presses an inserted pipe body in a state in which the pressing member contacts an inclined surface of an outer collar; the inclined surface of the outer collar causes the pressing member to be moved in a radial direction thereof when the pressing member moves toward a deep portion within the pipe coupling, and restricts the movement of the pressing member in the radial direction when the pressing member moves in a direction of an exit; the inner collar is urged toward the exit by an elastic member; and the outer collar is relatively movably coupled to a housing of the pipe coupling. In the case of any type of rigid pipe body, the pipe coupling can be freely and easily connected to and removed from the same.
