Abstract: Assessment information needed to calculate a used vehicle assessment value of a hydraulic excavator 10 is input to a portable telephone 20 and is then transmitted from the portable telephone 20. The transmitted assessment information is received at a manufacturer's base station 40 at a remote location. The used vehicle assessment value of the hydraulic excavator 10 is calculated based upon the received assessment information, and history information and operation information on the hydraulic excavator 10 read out from an operation information database 43 and a history database 42 in correspondence to an ID number assigned to the hydraulic excavator which is included in the assessment information.

Abstract: A cask includes a trunk body that includes a basket having a square pipe or a plate member forming a cell that contains a spent fuel assembly, and a neutron shield that is formed by filling a composition for neutron shielding between the trunk body and an outer cover surrounding the trunk body. The composition includes a refractory material, a density increasing agent, and a neutron shielding material composed mainly of a polymer.

Abstract: A working machine failure diagnosis method for performing a failure diagnosis by transmitting and receiving signals through communication devices provided at a working machine and at an information management center, according to the present invention, includes: a first step in which a first signal related to a failure of the working machine is generated at the working machine and the first signal is transmitted to the information management center from the working machine via the communication devices; a second step in which, after the first signal is transmitted, the information management center generates a second signal for identifying a location of the failure based upon the first signal and the second signal is then transmitted from the information management center to the working machine via the communication devices; and a third step in which failure information corresponding to the first signal and the second signal is provided to an operator.

Abstract: In a rental estimation method according to the present invention, rental information with regard to rental devices is provided to a customer through a data exchange between a terminal (9) of the customer and a management server (5) of a rental company. The rental estimation method includes a data input step for entering work content data indicating a work content through the customer terminal (9), and a necessary device reporting step for reading out a list of a plurality of necessary devices matching the work content and rental information corresponding to the necessary devices from a predefined database (2 to 4) and for providing them to the customer.

Abstract: A security system for a construction machine including a construction machine equipped with a body controller for storing a first password, management apparatus arranged in a location apart from the construction machine and a portable communications unit for storing a second password provided communicably with the management apparatus and the body controller. The portable communications unit, receiving the first password from the management apparatus, replaces the second password with the first password. The body controller determines whether the second password output from the portable communications unit coincides with the first password. In case these passwords coincide with each other, an engine drive signal is output. Otherwise the engine is kept inoperable. This prevents possible theft of a construction machine.

Abstract: To perform the modularization and use in a component format of a program and to efficiently create the program. Divide Operations into two, Primitive and Composite Operations, and further classify Composite Operations into Loop, Sequence, and Selection. Then, prepare methods for defining actions common to Operations, methods for defining actions common to Composite Operations, methods for defining actions peculiar to Loop Composite Operations, methods for defining actions peculiar to Sequence Composite Operations, methods for defining actions peculiar to Selection Composite Operations, and methods for defining actions peculiar to Primitive Operations so as to easily and readily create a program with methods for defining actions peculiar individual Operations, a means for inputting data, and a means for making up individual Operations into a tree structure.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is provided which can create a predicate for searching for data using only mouse operations on the desktop, and apply the predicate to a database system containing objects to be searched. The user can identify a primitive predicate by inputting search items (that is, file attributes) on the desktop, and can create a logical operation expression for identifying search conditions by displaying a composite predicate representing a logical operator as a folder, and by dragging and dropping an icon representing the predicate on that folder. The logical operation expression can be hierarchically organized and stored. Moreover, a predicate can be displayed on the desktop on a desired hierarchical level by opening or closing an icon for each composite predicate from an icon to a folder, or a folder to an icon.

Abstract: A system for the automatic adjustment of resources devoted to query optimization according to estimated query execution time. The disclosed system permits the query optimizer to automatically trade off the time spent estimating the execution cost of alternate query execution plans against the potential savings in execution time that one of those alternate plans may yield. The number of alternate plans considered is adjusted by selecting compile-time parameters and heuristic criteria for limiting the primitive database operators used in the alternate plans, thereby establishing a new search space. The parameters and criteria are adjusted according to the estimate of execution cost for the optimal plan from a first search space. The first search space may be relatively small and quickly evaluated. Evaluation of larger subsequent search spaces is optional according to an automatic thresholding process of the disclosed system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sealer material, comprising an ionizing radiation curable resin composition layer which is not flowable at a normal temperature and a sealer composition layer and optionally a substrate. Disclosed is also a method for applying the sealer material having the construction as mentioned above.By using the sealer material of this invention, easy and sure sealing can be made to the portion, to which sealing can not be easily according to conventional methods.
