  • Patent number: 8199445
    Abstract: A gas insulated circuit breaker system has: a container that encapsulates insulating gas; a main contact in the container that opens/closes the main circuit; a resistor contact in the container, connected in parallel to the main contact, to be opened after elapse of a predetermined time after the main contact is opened and to be closed at a predetermined time before the main contact is closed; a resistor in the container, serially connected to the resistor contact and connected in parallel to the main contact together with the resistor contact; a temperature sensor that measures temperature of surrounding of the resistor; and a temperature estimation section that estimates a temperature of the resistor based on a timing of opening/closing operation of the main contact, a current flowing through the main circuit and the measured temperature.

  • Publication number: 20080184365
    Abstract: An information processing method includes an input process of accepting information processing data as a subject of information processing in the case where prohibition of access from an arbitrary processing unit to plural execution memories that are set in a shared memory so as to correspond to kinds of exclusive controls which restrict access to the shared memory is set. A determining step determines, according to the information processing data accepted by the input step, and a kind of exclusive control for a processing unit that is selected by an OS. A permission setting step sets permission of access from the processing unit to an execution memory corresponding to the kind of exclusive control determined by the determining step, using a control function for setting permission or prohibition of access to the execution memory corresponding to the determined kind of exclusive control.
