  • Publication number: 20230377397
    Abstract: When there is a request for issuing a two-dimensional code from an entering person terminal, it is determined whether a person who has made the request for issuing is an employee, and it is inquired whether the employee who has made the request for issuing of the two-dimensional code is an employee registered in an employee database. In response to this inquiry, in a case where the employee who has made the request for issuing the two-dimensional code is a registered employee and has a right to enter a facility, a two-dimensional code containing time limit information with an expiration date for entry is issued. However, in a case where the employee who has made the request for issuing the two-dimensional code is not a registered employee and does not have the right to enter the facility, an error code is sent to the entering person terminal.

  • Patent number: 11821086
    Abstract: A particle coating method includes placing magnetic particles in a vessel, fixing the magnetic particles by a magnetic force caused by a magnetic field generated in the vessel, and forming a coating film on surfaces of the magnetic particles by an atomic layer deposition method. Further, the method preferably includes forming a coating film on surfaces of the magnetic particles by an atomic layer deposition method in a state where the magnetic particles are fixed by the magnetic force in a first direction, thereby obtaining coated magnetic particles, and forming a coating film on surfaces of the coated magnetic particles in a state where the coated magnetic particles are fixed by the magnetic force in a second direction different from the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10967487
    Abstract: Provided is a threaded member tightening tool capable of returning a count value in linkage with reverse driving by the threaded member tightening tool and only when a threaded member to be removed by the reverse driving has been counted as a tightened threaded member. A computing unit of a motor-driven screwdriver is switchable between a counting mode in which the computing unit counts the number of tightened threaded members and holds the counted number as a count value and a count return mode for returning the count value to a one-preceding count value. The computing unit returns the count value to a one-preceding count value based on the fact that the engaging element fitting unit has been driven in the reverse direction when the computing unit has been switched to the count return mode.
