Abstract: The measured value of a rubber temperature parameter that is related to the temperature of a rubber material to be kneaded by a mixing machine 2 and measured values of correlation parameters that have a correlation with a change in the value of the rubber temperature parameter are acquired. The measured values are assigned to an operational control parameter-calculation model equation, which is modified from a rubber temperature parameter-calculation model equation including operational control parameters and the correlation parameters, and a constant and coefficients of the operational control parameters and the correlation parameters are calculated using a machine learning algorithm.

Abstract: A mixer control device having a function of a monitoring device acquires measurement data of monitoring target information that is obtained through measurement when a rubber material is kneaded by a mixer. In addition, the mixer control device compares the measurement data and reference data that is selected in past measurement data of the monitoring target information and performs abnormality determination. The mixer control device acquires measurement data that is measured from predetermined mixing operation initiation timing in a series of mixing operations of a rubber material in the mixer for every unit of the series of mixing operation.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a so-called competitive immunological assay method capable of more uniformly immobilizing on a solid phase a substance equivalent to an antigen. [Solution] This immunological assay method measures an analyte substance in a sample by using: an equivalent substance immobilized on the solid phase during the execution of the assay, the equivalent substance being immunologically equivalent to the analyte substance; and a labeled antibody for specifically binding to the substance equivalent to the analyte substance. The assay method is characterized in that the equivalent substance is immobilized on the solid phase using: a bond between the equivalent substance and a carrier substance, the carrier substance being a substance to which the labeled antibody does not bind; and a bond between the carrier substance and a specific binding substance immobilized on the solid phase, the specific binding substance being a substance that binds specifically to the carrier substance.
